Dear Friends and Neighbors,
With overhead costs of approximately zero dollars, OG is a unique opportunity for us to create that rarest of NYC phenomena: a music venue that actually pays a half-decent wage. This, while gifting ourselves an amazing summer-long extravaganza of over 50 concerts within strolling distance!
But the truth is, the donations we collect at our shows don't quite cut it. To do this, we need to raise a fund--as we did last year--to ensure we can always pay respectfully.
If you love OG and want to support local working musicians, please donate what you can to rebuild our musician guarantee fund for 2024. Yes, it's tax deductible!
