My name is Susan Krebs and I’m a performing artist seeking support for my Salon on Buffalo Series 2026 – in its fifth year of operation! To produce this popular and vibrant series properly requires underwriting, and so I am again seeking underwriting via the Salon on Buffalo Fund.
I’m ever grateful to c3 for its fiscal sponsorship.
Jazz listening venues in which to play one’s music are in short supply. These salons offer a rare intimate concert environment where musicians may offer music of their choosing, and a devoted grateful audience can together hear world class music on a late Sunday afternoon. It is always a balm of a gathering. I believe there is a ripple effect with the in-person and live-streaming salon’s good vibrations going out and about into the world.
> The salons will Live Stream on Facebook. One good camera with good aux mic, aiming to share the good music and good vibes in the parlor with more folks.
> All the participating musicians will receive a Video document of the concert.
> Sometimes these salons will also serve as fundraisers for various causes and organizations.
Your Underwriting will ensure:
> Guaranteed Minimums for Musicians
+ My Tech/Assoc Producer.
> Covering my Cost Outlay for each salon.
(Food & Bevs, Paper Goods, Piano Tuning)
Salon Gate is $25 – includes Libations and Tasty Bites.
Sometimes the Gate will meet my guarantees and costs, sometimes with surplus going to the musicians; sometimes it will not, and that is when I will draw from the Salon Fund.
A suggested $25 DONATION to this fund would be most welcome. Thank you for your consideration.
It gives me sweet pleasure to present in my little corner of the world, these very fine Jazz artists from our community Thank you for your support in allowing me to continue. It’s good to gather – especially during these chaotic times. May we build joyful resilience and resolve! Be well ~Suze
