Baton Rouge's Premier Live Music Resource Since 2014 For over a decade, Red Stick Music has served as the definitive source for live music events in Baton Rouge. We provide a comprehensive platform that showcases the city's dynamic music scene, offering an extensive calendar that helps both residents and visitors discover shows, festivals, and performances across all genres. ​ Founded by Passionate Audio Engineers Red Stick Music is a trademark of FourLeafAudio LLC, owned by husband-and-wife team Christopher and Caitlen Odell, passionate audio engineers and avid live music enthusiasts. Our firsthand experience in the industry revealed a significant gap: the local music community needed a centralized, reliable resource to discover and promote live events. We created Red Stick Music to fill that need, with a clear mission to strengthen Baton Rouge's music scene by connecting artists, venues, and audiences through one trusted platform. ​ Making Real Impact in Our Community Every month, over 100,000 views are on Red Stick Music's content for people who want to plan their nights out. But here's what really matters to us: these aren't just numbers, they're real people buying tickets, filling venues, and creating memories at live shows. We're proud to work alongside local musicians, venues, and sponsors who believe in what makes Baton Rouge special. What sets us apart is the quality of our audience engagement. Our followers aren't passive observers, they're active participants planning outings, purchasing tickets, and directly supporting local venues. This highly engaged community transforms sponsorship opportunities into meaningful brand alignment with Baton Rouge's cultural identity, delivering value that extends well beyond traditional metrics. ​ Let's Connect Whether you're seeking to reach dedicated music fans or align your brand with the cultural vitality of Baton Rouge, Red Stick Music offers authentic access to an audience that values local businesses supporting their community's artistic heartbeat.

A Comprehensive Live Music Resource for the Baton Rouge Region We provide an essential platform connecting music enthusiasts with live performances throughout Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the surrounding areas. ​ A Hand-Curated Live Music Calendar At the heart of our operation is a meticulously hand-curated live music calendar, compiled entirely by our team without AI or automated software. We actively gather information from over 100 sources, including direct submissions from artists and venues, to ensure comprehensive coverage of live music events within a 35-mile radius of Baton Rouge. This hands-on approach reflects our deep integration within the local music ecosystem. Every listing represents genuine human engagement and quality control, establishing Red Stick Music as a trusted authority in the market. When sponsors partner with us, they align their brand with authenticity and credibility that automated platforms simply cannot deliver. ​ Multiple Ways to Access Live Music Listings We offer our calendar in various formats to maximize its accessibility and usefulness. The website’s calendar is searchable, updated daily, and provides clickable links to artists and venues, making it easy for users to plan their outings. For a quick view, we post single-photo graphics of the day’s lineup on social media, and every Thursday, we publish a weekend preview on our site so users can plan ahead. Subscribers also receive a weekly newsletter every Friday featuring the weekend's lineup. ​ More Than Just a Calendar In addition to our robust calendar, we offer other valuable resources for the local live music community. Our blog brings users closer to the local music scene exclusive features and guides. Our booking service connects booking agents with local musicians, and our live music venue map allows users to easily locate nearby venues. We also link to other local resources, fostering connections within the community. ​ Supporting Baton Rouge’s Live Music Scene As we continue to grow, we’re always exploring ways to enhance our offerings and provide even more support for the local music scene. All of our services are completely free for musicians, venues, and the public. However, none of this would be possible without the generous support of sponsors and advertisers. Your business can play a vital role in supporting Baton Rouge’s live music community while gaining exposure to thousands of locals and tourists alike.
