ABOUT US
our mission
Our mission is to build an inclusive and equitable local music community by removing barriers for musicians, performers, audio engineers, and local music fans from historically underrepresented groups. Because there’s nothing more fun than creating and enjoying music and your life will be better for it!
our VISION
We envision a world that’s free of barriers and limits for performers, artists, audio engineers, and local music fans from historically underrepresented groups.
our STORY
Rock for the People got started in a local music studio (Dog House Music Studios) as a response to the lack of diversity, inclusivity, and equity in the local music industry, particularly among touring and headlining bands. We investigated further, and found only a few (or none!) of the musicians included in the "best bands of all time" lists included women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and indigenous people. We felt that our local music industry could do much better. By partnering with a professional music studio and a community of folks who were dedicated to our cause, we started Rock for the People at Dog House Music Studios!
