Welcome to the Living Room Lounge. A virtual venue where musicians share their songs from their living rooms to yours. Find upcoming and currently live streams here and see which living room your friends are hanging out in. Living rooms have never been so LIVE!
Our focus is to support our artists friends who are suddenly without gigs. We want to build audiences that can carry from stream to stream to help them get the word out and gather the community. So, we are exclusively posting only FaceBook Live streams from musicians homes rather than content from different platforms or rebroadcasts of old content.
Busking Down The House
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1494442920731779/
Our mission here is to come together during this crisis and put our sources together to help the music industry while it is temporarily out of order.
As we know many artists, venues, crews, photographers, vendors and more are out of work while we maintain a social distance to ensure the well-being of the population. That being said, we are here to give back to the individuals and groups who are affected by the shut down. Oh, hey, and to all of you who love to see shows: Here’s a new way to chase music.
Our goals are to continue to support our artists and crews while continuing to bring you music. We will also be collecting for charities helping the international crisis.

“I know you are all really freaked out right now,” the band’s lead singer, Ben Gibbard, wrote in a letter to fans. “I am too. And while I’m proud that we’re all doing the necessary things at the moment to help flatten the curve, I know it has left us all incredibly isolated.” To that end, he announced he’ll be playing music live from his home studio every day at 4 p.m. PT for the next few weeks on YouTube and Facebook. He may even have a few guests stop by “digitally.”
