About The Good Neighbor Concert Series:
The mission of The Good Neighbor Concert Series (GNCS) is to provide a high-quality, inclusive, and accessible listening-room experience, featuring original music from diverse, underrepresented, and emerging musical artists from around Michigan and beyond, while also strengthening the Greater-Lansing community through targeted investment in local organizations whose efforts support a brighter, healthier, and more equitable future for all.
Its vision is to transform the Greater-Lansing area into a vibrant, healthy, joyful, and hopeful community where original music and artistry thrive, and where all people are seen, valued, supported, inspired, and empowered to lead authentic and fulfilling lives, in harmony with one another.
GNCS seeks to elevate voices that would otherwise not, or seldom be heard in existing performance spaces, including emerging artists, women, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and other minority and marginalized people and populations. We strive to provide a safe gathering place where attendees and artists alike can build life-giving, in-person connections, work toward mutual growth and understanding, and become agents of positive change. We support artists and organizations that share our vision and values, and that believe in goodness for its own sake.
Each event features a different nonprofit organization, which receives a minimum of 10% of the proceeds from ticket sales and concessions. The nonprofit partner organizations also have the opportunity to table at the event so that patrons can learn more, get involved, and/or donate additional funds directly if desired.
The series takes place at Stage One at Sycamore Creek Eastwood (
https://www.facebook.com/stageonemi), a performance venue made available to the Greater-Lansing community by Sycamore Creek Church (SCC), an inclusive, affirming church where diversity is celebrated and all people are welcome.
We look forward to seeing you at one or more shows soon, and thank you for being a part of our journey.
