Welcome, Madeline! ?? #REVERB #ClimateAction #MusicSustainability #Decarbonization #WelcomeToTheTeam

Since 2021, Wild Rivers and REVERB have partnered to reduce the environmental footprint of touring and take action on the climate crisis. The band has dedicated a portion of ticket sales from each of their tours to support environmental and climate action raising over $50,000. These funds have helped decarbonize the music industry, supported climate projects, removed plastic from the ocean, and much more! We’re incredibly proud to partner with Wild Rivers to help them meet their sustainability goals and take action for people and the planet!

Just 50 billionaires are emitting more carbon in 90 minutes than most people will in a lifetime. A new Oxfam report out today details how the ultra-wealthy’s private jets, superyachts, and high-polluting investments are fueling a climate breakdown and deepening global inequality. As we head into COP29, it’s past time to reduce the emissions of the richest and make rich polluters pay. https://lnkd.in/eRPSjmGU

Higher Ground took a major step toward decarbonizing music at the 2024 Shelburne Museum summer concert series by partnering with NOMAD Power ? to replace diesel generators with battery systems to power the stage. Higher Ground made the change after seeing REVERB’s Music Decarbonization Project successes with Billie Eilish, Willie Nelson, and others! This not only reduced greenhouse gas pollution but also enhanced the concert experience for artists, their crews, and fans by cutting noise and fumes. Guster had the honor of being the first band to perform on the fully battery-powered stage ?? (their first battery-powered show!). Thanks to our partners' collaboration, this eco-friendly initiative is a big win for reducing the environmental footprint of live music. Thanks also to Overdrive Energy Solutions for their help! #Sustainability #GreenConcerts #REVERB #MusicDecarbonizationProject

Another successful Music Decarbonization Project festival! ? 100% Battery-Powered Festival ? 99% Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions ? 94% Reduction in Use of Fossil Fuels ? 30.1 Metric Tons of CO2e Avoided REVERB partnered with Healing Appalachia in West Virginia to completely power the 3-day festival with battery systems. Working with campaign partners Overdrive Energy Solutions, we powered the stage, tour buses, vendors and food & beverage services with solar-charged battery systems and we're incredibly proud of the results! Fans at Healing Appalachia also had an opportunity to connect with Tradesforce.org to learn about high-paying, in-demand clean economy jobs that are powering the sustainable energy future. The Music Decarbonization Project effort at Healing Appalachia continues to proves that there are climate solutions available NOW! We can't wait. We won't wait.

Tomorrow marks the official 20th anniversary of REVERB. On July 13, 2004, we hit the road with Barenaked Ladies for our first-ever tour. Twenty years and 350 tours later, it’s a little emotional to reminisce about that very first night. Following in the footsteps of Bonnie Raitt and her Green Highway campaign, we were eager to change touring for the better, nervously excited about our fledgling 501(c)(3), and completely unaware of the journey we had in store. A lot has changed since 2004, but our belief in music’s unique ability to unite and move people has only grown stronger as we’ve witnessed the collective power of music-makers and music-lovers to create positive change. Facing the ever-growing threat of the climate crisis, we continue to draw hope, strength, and motivation from our knowledge of what’s possible when we band together in the fight for people and the planet. The positive impacts have reverberated over the last twenty years, adding up to 7.7 million fan actions, $16.7 million raised for environmental causes, 390,000+ tons of CO2E neutralized, over 4 million single-use plastic bottles eliminated, 5,800+ nonprofits supported, and 186,000+ volunteer hours at shows. None of this work would be possible without the entire REVERB community—from our talented and devoted artist partners who harness their platform to make a difference, to our nonprofit, brand, and industry partners who push for a greener live music business, to the tens of thousands of REVERB volunteers who bring energy, heart, and positivity to concerts around the world, to the millions of music fans who’ve taken action with us at shows. Every day for 20 years, this community has continued to inspire and empower the work we do for our collective future. Here’s to you—and the decades to come. With endless gratitude, Adam & Lauren
