@Sevans231 @DanielLurie Nope, 100% philanthropy

@DanielLurie You know that we need to make money somehow? Does this not cost the city?

125+ free concerts are coming to the Golden Gate Park Bandshell. These concerts will attract over 250k people to the park and help support independent artists. Most shows are on Wed, Fri, and Sun—it’s a great activity for families and all music lovers! sfchronicle.com/entertainment/…

@HellaSanFran @DanielLurie @HellaSanFran this program is funded by @Illumin8Live an arts non-profit. All of the bands are paid as are the technicians who run the sound and production, all funded by a few donors. Six years running.

@DanielLurie If the concerts are free, how is this supporting independent artists? Do they live off of good vibes? Explain the money part Daniel.
