Going Left Music
Every day is a holiday every meal is a banquet!
Its not what you expect. Going Left is not about a certain direction, it’s about what feels good.
Hard work and determination are the driving factors, creativity and passion keep the gears turning. Come catch a show, or hang out at an event, we like cold beers and open doors. Go what ever way you want.
At Going Left we are primarily focused on band management/consulting, show/event promotion, and music blogging.
