Music Drives Us was honored to support Little Steven's TeachRock Workshop at The Chevalier Theatre on Saturday, November 2, 2019. The concert featured a free pre-show workshop supported by Music Drives Us at the venue, during which Little Steven and his TeachRock staff engaged educators of all types with techniques and content through which they can comfortably use music to inspire students. The workshop was amazing! It was eye opening to see the many outlets that TeachRock offered and the response from the teachers.

​On Saturday, October 26, 2019 Music Drives Us had the pleasure of being a part of the Norfolk County Beer Festival at the Norwood Space Center. A portion of ticket sales from this festival went to support our mission of keeping music in schools and communities throughout New England. The beer festival had two sessions, one was a family friendly afternoon session and the other was a 21+ evening session. Both sessions were great! They were filled with delicious local beer, fresh BBQ sandwiches, and live music. Thanks for having us Craft’d!
