Black Fret

Black Fret is a 501(c)3 tax exempt public charity headquartered in Austin, Texas (the “Live Music Capital of the World”) that is built upon a simple principle… that local music, like the symphony or the opera, is worthy of public support. Black Fret is a young and vital new model for arts patronage created with the support of and by the founder of the Austin Music Foundation. Our Mission is focused solely on funding the creation and performance of new music by the fine musicians who play the clubs and coffee shops of our amazing city.

Black Fret is a social and connected community of music fans dedicated to good music, good times and the sustainable success of Austin’s local musicians. Together our Members find great bands, gather to see them in intimate shows and award them grants to help them create and perform new music.
