Roar Shack Live!: Music for Hard Times

Welcome to the inaugural performance of The Living Earth Show’s San Francisco concert series: Roar Shack Live!

Market Street Arts and The Living Earth Show have built an innovative partnership to turn a vacant bar into an experimental music hub. The 2024-25 series, Roar Shack Live!, will breathe new life into 34-7th Street, the former home of renowned cocktail lounge Mr. Smith's, turning it into a dynamic venue for experimental chamber music and multidisciplinary performances.

The series debuts on Friday, September 20, 2024, with Music For Hard Times, an ambient masterpiece and audiovisual love letter to San Francisco created by The Living Earth Show, composer Danny Clay, and visual artist Jon Fischer.

Music For Hard Times is an audiovisual love letter to San Francisco, connecting virtuosic classical instrumental practice to what it means to be a human being. The performance crafts an enveloping coziness that draws the listener inwards, allowing anyone to experience the uncomplicated pleasure of making and experiencing beautiful sounds. This act, the artists postulate, is both a practice and a resource to support and uplift the higher order needs for healing, solace, peace, comfort, and space.

To create accessible creative hubs in Mid-Market, all performances will be pay-what-you-can, ranging from $1–$100.
