The area is a thriving hub for musicians, with a vibrant music industry that supports a diverse range of genres and styles. The area is known for world-class festivals, local venues and studios.

Independent music thrives on collaboration, but finding the right local contacts shouldn't feel like a chore. The Byron Shire is teeming with incredible creative talent, yet the crucial infrastructure supporting our scene - rehearsal spaces, specialised instrument technicians, and underground venues - has historically been scattered across old forums, outdated social media pages, or passed along solely by word of mouth.
