The Green Room 🦚 is a free hour-long virtual lounge featuring 3 new independent artists streamed LIVE by our pals at The Complex SF! This month we feature Bay Area friends Shellspace who will be performing live from downtown SF, and inter-global friends Indigo Saint (Zimbabwe) and Trinity (Nashville, TN) who put together incredible sets for us. Our fabulous artists have also selected charities for viewers to support during the show from home!

Shellspace is representing MISSSEY.
Indigo Saint is representing Cottage 47 Trus (mental health awareness mutual aid fund for young people in Zimbabwe!).
Trinity is representing The Autistic POC Fund.

We know that some of our immunocompromised friends can't get out there to see live music quite yet, so we're hoping this will be a good way for folks to connect with different independent music scenes from all over the world!
