About Us

Drunken Octopus Music Inc.

​​​

The original listening venue began as The Drunken Octopus—a small backyard gathering space built on a simple belief: music deserves to be heard. Not talked over. Not rushed. Not treated as background noise. Just honest songs, shared in an intimate setting, with people who came to truly listen.

 

What started as a handful of friends and songwriters has grown into something far more meaningful.

Today, Drunken Octopus Music Inc. exists to formalize that vision as a nonprofit organization—one rooted in community, creativity, and generosity.

 

Our mission is clear: Music That Gives Back.

​

We are a curated listening venue by design. We honor the songwriter, the story, and the shared experience between artist and audience. Every event is intentional—limited seating, respectful listening, and a focus on connection rather than spectacle.

​

As a nonprofit, Drunken Octopus Music Inc. uses music as a vehicle for positive impact. Through live listening shows, special events, and merchandise, we support charitable organizations and local causes that reflect the heart of our community. Each performance becomes more than a show—it becomes a way to give back.

​

Our commitment includes:

• Hosting intimate, high-quality listening experiences

• Providing artists with a space where their work is genuinely valued

• Supporting charities through music-driven fundraising

• Preserving the soul and authenticity of the original venue

• Building community through shared moments, not mass crowds

 

Though our roots are humble, our purpose is powerful. We believe small rooms can create big change. That a song, when truly heard, can open hearts—and that generosity grows when people gather with intention.

​

Drunken Octopus Music Inc. remains small on purpose, personal by nature, and passionate about impact. From a backyard listening venue to a nonprofit mission, we continue to grow with one guiding principle:
