Sadhana USA presents the Sustain Small Concert Series, intimate concert events designed to sustain the musicians, artisans, sound engineers, facilities, sponsors and fans that make the festival community so special.  Our concert series is a new initiative in 2024 and will features musicians playing Progressive Bluegrass and Americana style music in non-traditional venues.  We will be hosting bands initially in Indianapolis, IN but plan to expand to Louisville, KY, Vincennes IN, Cincinnati OH, and St. Louis, MO in the coming years.

The goal is to support the live music process and build a stronger Sustain Community around our common values. Like other cities, Indianapolis has many venues that have been supporting live music for years and have been home to bands that we enjoy. Our goal is NOT to compete with these venues.

However, on many occasions bands ends up routing through one of our cities on short notice and the stages that welcome our style of music are all booked. The Sustain Small Concert Series can accommodate these last minute opportunities to perform, turning a potential wasted night on the road into a chance to connect with our community. In addition to putting together the show, we are often able to house the bands in a host family’s home helping them avoid lodging costs while touring.

Bands and agents looking to play can email Kyle.Ochs@SustainFestivals.org.
