Our 1st Grassroots Festival!


The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here—Leighton Buzzard's very first Grassroots Music Festival!

We're thrilled to join forces with our friends at OSP, who have been instrumental in bringing our monthly showcasing events to life, finding the most exceptional original bands, some of the best of which will be performing at Crow Fest 25... and we couldn't be more excited!

The original music scene is truly buzzing right now, filled with remarkably talented artists who are generating a level of enthusiasm not seen in decades!

The music landscape has evolved significantly; today, we enjoy instant access to streaming and affordable avenues for sharing content globally. Yet, this new world presents challenges, particularly for emerging musicians. With the gap widening between those who can sustain their artistic pursuits full-time and the indie artists just starting out, many face hurdles that can feel insurmountable. One critical issue is the diminishing number of small venues where new talent can perform. These venues serve as vital platforms for experiencing raw talent up close—places where we can proudly say, "I saw this artist at such-and-such club before they made it big!" However, it leaves us wondering if future generations will have the same opportunities.

But there is a bright side! Venues like The Crooked Crow Bar continue to thrive, providing space for gifted bands poised to become the next chart-topping stars. Moreover, there's a growing community of music lovers eager to experience live performances, valuing the energy of a concert experience over reality TV shows.

By coming together, we can create a vibrant space for music that resonates deeply. So, let’s make the Grassroots Music Festival a fantastic celebration of talent and creativity—we can't wait to see you there!
