Locaphonic was inspired by the “locavore” movement, which promotes the idea that eating locally-produced food supports a sustainable local food economy. By applying similar principles to the music world and partnering with talented local culinary artists, Locaphonic’s intention is to strengthen the Bay Area’s understanding and appreciation for the creative work of our gifted local musicians.
Our purpose is to build community through food and music by connecting Bay Area residents with the musical and culinary talent that exists right in our own backyard. We believe that life is better with good food and good music, and we believe that our cultural community can thrive by supporting local artists. Chefs and musicians collaborate to create edible concerts and to nourish the life of our vibrant local community.
By providing musicians with performance opportunities at home, they travel less and play more for their communities. Chefs create with seasonal, organic, local produce, connecting their patrons to the land that nourishes them. Residents hear stellar local musicians and support local chefs and restaurants, thereby investing in the sustainability of our community.
