THE HORSESHOE

an underground listening theater

THE STORY

Bonnie and Justin,

First met at an open mic in Austin, Texas. Justin was working for the 29th Street Ballroom, a local music venue showcasing some of the best talent near and far and Bonnie was working for Mobile Loaves & Fishes, a non-profit providing permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless.

They decided to hit the road and go on tour in 2025 with their own music. See the country and learn first hand the ins and outs of being an independent artist.

It comes as no surprise that it is harder than ever for artists to earn money while finding their audience.

Bonnie and Justin want to do something about that.

We live in a world of distraction and instant gratification. There is a disconnect between what is commercially successful and what speaks to the soul of human experience.

Let’s curate an environment that elevates the latter.

Therein lay the birth of THE HORSESHOE. A listening theater. Where the artist’s voice takes centerstage to an uninhibited audience.

This is for music lovers who want to connect with artist and community.

THE MISSION

1. Get artist paid. 

2. Showcase voices through connection & community. 

Located in North Oaks Hillside, Austin, Texas.
