About Seneca Sounds

A music and art series rooted in Geneva, NY.

Seneca Sounds is a music and arts series based in Geneva, New York, featuring live events throughout the year and a one-day annual festival.

It’s built around a simple idea: creating more opportunities for people to come together around live music and shared experiences.

From small shows and pop-up performances to the annual festival, Seneca Sounds is a place where people discover new music, new artists, and each other.

The Story

Geneva has a vibrant music and arts community. Musicians, performers, and audiences who care deeply about live music and culture.

In recent years, there’s been a growing sense that the city could support more spaces and events that bring this community together. While there have been great grassroots events in the past, there’s still room for new gatherings that celebrate the energy of the local scene.

Seneca Sounds was created to help fill that space.

Through a series of live events throughout the year and an annual festival each September, Seneca Sounds brings together musicians, performers, and audiences to celebrate the music scene that already exists here — and to help it grow.

What this is about

Bringing people together

Geneva has a strong music scene and a community that cares deeply about live performance. Seneca Sounds creates more chances for musicians, neighbors, and visitors to gather around great music.

Discovering something new

Some of the best music experiences happen when you stumble onto something unexpected. Seneca Sounds is built around that feeling. Hearing a band for the first time, catching a performance you didn’t see coming, and leaving with a few new favorites.

Keeping art accessible

Live music should be something everyone can be part of. Festival tickets will be given away for free and offered at an affordable price, helping keep the experience welcoming and accessible to the community.

Who's behind it

Seneca Sounds was created by two women who wanted to build more around the music scene in Geneva — more shows, more connection, and more experiences that bring people together.

Marketing, design, and production — plus the occasional fire performance.
