Off Beat Story

The Off Beat has been a dream for Friends of Noise since our founding in 2016. Back then, our goal was to create a safer space for the youth of our community to gather and be themselves while playing and hearing great music. In the years that followed, we’ve hosted hundreds of all-ages DIY concerts, started a teen sound engineering training program, and paid out thousands in stipends and artist fees. After years of saving every dollar we could, we raised enough to sign a lease for our venue!

Off Beat Season Pass

The Off Beat Season Pass program gives passholders exclusive access to our concert calendar so they, on a first-come, first-served basis, can select 3 free concerts per month. Season passes may be purchased by individuals, friends, and families as well as corporate sponsors to give the gift of community building through music.

Corporate Sponsorship

Sponsor Passion, Purpose, and a Safe Space to Connect

From your company to our community, let’s amplify youth voices with your Sponsorship! Your support creates space for teens to be heard, seen, and celebrated through music. Help us build a safe, vibrant, and alcohol-free community where youth thrive, on stage and beyond.

All Ages. Always.

Friends of Noise is a non-profit organization built on the values of collectivism and restorative justice. We seek to transform the culture of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth access to the music industry.
