Shred Boone is calling on local residents, students, musicians, local businesses, and supporters of the arts to make their voices heard by signing its online petition in support of bringing a permanent live music venue to Boone, North Carolina.

What began as a backyard concert has grown into a community movement dedicated to bringing live music back to the area of Boone. With more than 15 community events over the past two years, Shred Boone has worked to create opportunities for musicians, artists, and community members to come together through live entertainment hosted locally.

Now, the organization is working with the Watauga Arts Council to support the development of the Center for Arts and Innovation, a proposed community space that would bring a permanent 1,000 person live music venue, visual arts opportunities, and collaborative workspaces.

The petition represents an opportunity for the Boone community to demonstrate its support for this vision and communicate the importance of investing in local music, arts, and entertainment. Community participation can help demonstrate the demand for a dedicated venue that supports both emerging local musicians and touring performers.

Boone needs a place where music, creativity, and community can come together. This project is about creating something that will benefit the town for years to come.

Shred Boone encourages community members to visit its website, sign the petition, share the initiative with friends and family, and explore additional ways to get involved. Supporters can also contribute through donations or join the team working to make the project a reality.

Community members can sign the petition and learn more about getting involved at shredboone.com/get-involved.
