A Note to Our Community

Lost on Main is aware of the concerns raised regarding an upcoming performance and acknowledge that we have not yet commented publicly.

Our silence should not be interpreted as a lack of concern. We believe that sensitive matters deserve careful consideration, and that responding responsibly is more important than responding immediately.

Our commitment to providing a respectful and inclusive environment remains unchanged. We take accusations of racism seriously. We do not condone racism or discrimination, and we believe concerns of this nature deserve thoughtful consideration.

The recent backlash surrounding an upcoming performance has brought longstanding frustrations to the surface.

We have been particularly disheartened by the intensity of the criticism. For nearly 20 years, we have worked to create a welcoming space for artists and audiences from all walks of life. Those who know us and have experienced our programming firsthand understand the values we stand for, which makes the assumptions being made about our character especially disappointing.

Twenty years ago, we set out to create something we believed this community needed: a place where exceptional live music could happen, where artists could find an audience, and where people could experience something beyond the ordinary.

For two decades, we've delivered on that vision for our community…… and our community is telling us they do not want this type of performance. We heard you and we listened.
