Apply to play at HomeGrown Live 2025

February 5, 2025

We’re very excited to be putting on yet another Homegrown Live Music Festival. It’s been 17 years since our first, and we’re still going strong. That’s due in large part to the incredible musical talent we have in this city.

If you want to play at this incredible fundraising event for Joe’s Music Mill, please apply now. Please note we are only accepting applications from artists who live or work in the Kingston area (one or two band members from abroad is okay!)

Applications close on March 1.

The tally is in!

May 20, 2024

The tally is complete! We are so excited to be donating $12,800 to Joe’s Music Mill.

Thank you to our incredible volunteer musicians, door volunteers, partners, sponsors, venues, and of course the hundreds of music lovers who came to our festival!

Over 130 bands in one day!

April 18, 2024

We say it every year … the Kingston music is incredible. Over 400 individual musicians have volunteered their time to raise money for Joe’s Music Mill. Thank you!

The HomeGrown 2024 schedule is here!

April 5, 2024

One of our biggest festivals yet! Over 130 performances on 16 stages all in one day. As always, all-access wristbands will be $10 available at the door, and all proceeds go to support Joe’s M.I.L.L.
Check out the full schedule and start planning your day, and we can’t wait to see you all again on Saturday, May 4th for the 16th annual HomeGrown Live Music Festival.

Applications are now closed

Wow! We had over 160 applications for Homegrown Live 2024. Rock, folk, blues, Celtic, hip hop, jazz, classical, pop … what an incredible start!

Our volunteer venue coordinators will be hard at work this month sifting through applications and selecting the lineup. Look for the schedule to be posted in early April!
