Sunshine Sound Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit experimental music collective with a mission. We started in 2017 in San Diego, California and have since relocated to Joshua Tree. Our goal from the beginning was simple: to improve access to music, for artists and audiences in our community. Here’s some of the stuff we do:
- Sunshine Sound Podcast featuring different music makers in Joshua Tree and beyond.
- Route 62 Records – a music collective focused on experimental music in Southern California.
- Promotion of local music.
- Events for musicians to meet and collaborate.
Our dream is to have a community of artists where everyone helps to improve the music scene.
MISSION
To transform the lives of individuals throughout southern California by providing equitable access to music and music education, and to advance independent music and the community that surrounds it.
VISION
We believe that lifelong involvement in the arts is valuable and transformative.
We believe that artists and audiences are equally essential to the creation of music in our culture.
We believe that improving distribution of music is beneficial for both the musician and the community.
