Ask not what Soulard Nation can do for you.

Ask what you can do for Soulard Nation.

Producing this show is quite the undertaking. Everything is being funded through the generous donations of our friends, families and neighbors in the St. Louis performing community. People offer their special talents, expertise, advice, equipment and financial support to show their belief in the mission of Soulard Nation. This is PBS meets MTV. We will create a national platform for St. Louis artists and we need all of St. Louis to help us get there.

There are several ways to support below, including recurring monthly donations and one time support packages. Included are dramatizations of how the money will be spent. All funds received through this website go directly toward equipment and manpower to produce these events. We are so grateful for all of the generous donations that we have received so far. Even if you cannot support financially, please follow us on Social Media platforms, and like and comment when you see our posts. Every little bit helps. We will forever use this platform for the promotion of talented St. Louis artists.

The equipment needed to produce professional quality shows is expensive. There is a large barrier to entry for live entertainment. We want to remove that barrier to entry. We are fundraising to purchase the equipment shown below. The purpose of this equipment is to provide our artists with the technology required to produce and record professional quality music. Once we have this ability, we will use the Soulard Nation platform to promote the most talented St. Louis performers.

Our goal is for a St. Louis Lead Musician to be able to show up with their instrument, connect to our system, and perform with any assortment of chosen musicians behind them. We wish to provide all equipment necessary for the artist to create high quality video and audio recordings of their performances to promote on their own social media pages. We believe that collaboration is the key to a strong social media presence.

Below are some of the goals of Soulard Nation. They may seem lofty, but given enough time and energy, anything is possible.
