Welcome, to sustain our Church of Music gatherings, we are looking for a handful of you to join our "Rhythm Section Donor Circle" to keep these magical, intimate neighborhood gatherings going!

For those of you who join the Rhythm Section, you will get early access to reserve seats before we announce the gatherings to our larger email list of friends and neighbors. This means that when we lock an artist in, we will send an email out to the Rhythm Section FIRST and you will have 2 days to reserve your seats before we email the rest of the community that the RSVP link is live. Over the last two years, every gathering has reached capacity within a few days of announcing the artist, with wait lists of 20-30 people for each event.

There will be a limited number of Rhythm Section donors and our goal is to raise $25k:

If you make a minimum donation of $200, you will get early access to reserve seats
If you make a donation of $500 and above, you will get a hand printed inaugural season poster and also get early access to pick your seats for gatherings by letting us know your 1st and 2nd pick locations (the couch, the church pew, front row, etc)

Like all Red Barn fundraisers, contributions are 100% tax deductible.

REMINDER:
All gatherings moving forward will be invitation only, via the email list with an RSVP required. Then as the gatherings are scheduled, folks can choose to make a voluntary contribution to support the organization but donations will NOT be mandatory to reserve a seat.
