Bootleg Theater

Today, we are asking you to help our incredible, dedicated staff members make ends meet during this trying time. All proceeds will be dispersed evenly to our staff. Thank you so, so much in advance for your time and kindness. Be safe, be kind, and take care of each other.

HELP US #SAVEOURSTAGES WITH NIVA - National Independent Venue Association: We have joined the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), a group of more than 1,200 independent music venues and promoters in all 50 states, to collectively urge Congress to help protect our industry by providing the financial support that is necessary for us to survive the shutdown and reopen once again. Please help save local venues and independent venues like us across the US by contacting your senators and representatives, letting them know that you support your local venues who need financial support from the Federal Government. It only takes 60 seconds to make your voice heard! Stand in solidarity with us: https://www.nivassoc.org/take-action

Make sure you support your favorite artists today via Bandcamp, as well as on June 5, and July 3 (the first Friday of each month)! Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share for all sales from midnight to midnight PDT on each day so you can directly support all of our talented friends. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact all of us, and artists have been hit especially hard as tours and shows are canceled for the foreseeable future. We urge you to help them out during this time of need, as they have for us. We love you all. Take care, be safe, and order those hot hits off Bandcamp to get you through this all!

We did it y'all! Thanks to all of your generous support we hit our #GoFundMe goal and raised over $25k for our wonderful Bootleg staff members Huge shout out to Cody Ackors who started the #CoverTheBootleg campaign to help us raise awareness and to the 60+ talented artists who have submitted their beautiful, unique covers for the cause! If you ever felt like wanting to tip our bartenders more but couldn't at the time, you can still donate to our GoFundMe and add some extra love! We can't thank you all enough for all of the support and kindness during these trying times. Stay safe, and please take care of each other! Amazing illustration by the talented Nikko de Leon
