Supporting local musicians and why it’s important

I love going out and meeting new musicians in the Brisbane music scene

There’s so many talented artists and they’re all unique

It’s so important to support your local artists, especially when they have their own shows or releasing music

It doesn’t take too much effort just to simply like comment or tell them how much you appreciate their music

Heres 10 reasons why it’s important to support local music in your area

1. Builds Community Connection – Supporting local music creates a sense of pride and unity within the community.
2. Keeps Culture Alive – Local musicians often bring unique sounds, stories, and cultural traditions that reflect the identity of the area.
3. Encourages Creativity – By attending shows and streaming music, fans help artists stay motivated to keep creating.
4. Boosts the Local Economy – Money spent on tickets, merch, and music often circulates back into the community.
5. Provides Opportunities for Growth – Local support helps artists build their fanbase, which can open doors to bigger opportunities.
6. Creates Memorable Experiences – Live music from local artists offers a personal and authentic experience that big shows often can’t.
7. Strengthens the Music Scene – A supportive community helps create more venues, events, and collaborations for local talent.
8. Inspires the Next Generation – Young aspiring musicians are encouraged when they see local artists being appreciated.
9. Promotes Diversity in Music – Local artists bring fresh voices, sounds, and perspectives beyond mainstream music.
10. Gives Artists a Chance to Be Heard – Many global stars started out as local performers; supporting them early can change their career.
