Bringing United By Rock To Your Town
Our vision has never been to create one great event in one community. We want to create a model that can be shared. United By Rock is developing a simple, repeatable way for people across the country to bring musicians of different ages, backgrounds and experience levels together, perform the songs they love, create an unforgettable experience for their community—and raise money to support youth music programs right where they live.
We want to build the blueprint. You bring it to life.
You don’t need to be a professional event producer to start a United By Rock Mob. You need a love of music, a connection to your community, and the passion and commitment to bring people together. Anyone will be able to apply to bring United By Rock to their city. Once an application is submitted, we’ll talk with you personally, learn about your community and help determine whether you have the time, resources and local connections needed to make your event successful.
Approved organizers won’t be starting from scratch. We’ll hand you the playbook.
Our goal is to provide each participating city with a United By Rock Start-Up Package containing the tools we’ve developed—and the lessons we’ve learned—through producing our own events. As United By Rock grows, our resources and reach will grow along with us.

Just A Few Songs. That's the point.
United By Rock events are intentionally designed around just two or three songs. We’re not asking people to spend months preparing for an elaborate two-hour concert. Learn a few songs you already love. Show up. Plug in. Meet people you might never have met otherwise. Make some noise together. Raise money for young musicians in your community. And go home smiling.
We live busy lives. Our time and attention are constantly being pulled in different directions. United By Rock is designed to be manageable, accessible and fun. No endless rehearsals. No complicated production. No need to be a professional musician. Just a few great songs and a whole lot of people playing them together.
YOUR CITY. YOUR MUSICIANS. YOUR MUSIC.
A Nashville United By Rock Mob shouldn’t have to look exactly like Wilmington. Neither should Austin, Chicago, Philadelphia or a small town with 50 musicians who simply want to make some noise together. Each community determines how large its Rock Mob becomes and, within the music available to the program, which songs it wants to perform. One city might bring together 300 musicians. Another might bring together 40. Both matter. More musicians can certainly make for an incredible spectacle, but United By Rock isn’t about chasing a number. It’s about creating a moment.
Questions?
Will there be a cost to bring the program to my city?
Currently it is our goal to make the program free to implement. As we obtain national sponsors, we will have a clearer understanding of what the potential cost structure will look. However, there will be a 80/20 split in any money raised off your event. You keep 80% United By Rock keeps 20%.
What will any partnering city be responsible for?
As a partnering city, you will be required to video the event and upload it to our platform. Once the videos are reviewed and accepted, they will be available for view on our site.
How much can we expect to raise for the youth music program we wish to support?
At this time we are too early in the process to be able to answer this question. As we are able to launch events locally we will be able to provide more information.
When will my city be able to host a United By Rock event?
Hopefully soon. We are working diligently to get the concept off the ground. In the meantime if you want to help us please contact us and let us know you are interested.
