Zebulon
Published: 14 July 2026
In a city known for drawing in artists in search of opportunity, Zebulon has become a home for up-and-coming musicians looking to take the next step. The venue's path to Frogtown began in Brooklyn, where it was named as a critic's pick by New York magazine before closing in 2012. It reopened in Los Angeles in 2017 as a 250-capacity venue, and with its attached bar, restaurant and patio, it also serves as a community hub and gathering place for neighbourhood locals and musicians. Today, the venue hosts shows across a wide range of genres, featuring talent varying from local bands to international touring acts.
Our partnership with Zebulon centres on creating opportunities for musicians and music lovers alike. Alongside annual financial support, we work with Zebulon’s booking team to curate free shows featuring local talent, where new voices can develop and be heard. These events have included hosting Spiritual Cramp’s RUDE album release party, as well as Marshall Presents showcases featuring Marshall Records artists, such as Nova Twins, alongside emerging local talent. We also provide professional backline, ensuring equipment access isn't a barrier for artists who don't have their own gear. Audience experiences are also supported through activations such as free merchandise and live screen printing. Together, we’re ensuring Zebulon remains a space for grassroots live music and a place where new artists can start and grow.
We're committed to supporting Zebulon through both good times and in crisis. When the Los Angeles fires forced the venue to close temporarily in January 2025, we wanted to help them get back on their feet by providing the financial support they needed during that critical time. Even closed, Zebulon became a hub for donations and community organising.
This is exactly what partnership means. We’ve been able to support Zebulon through both its day-to-day programming and moments of challenge, helping it continue to serve as a home for live music in Los Angeles. Image credits: James Duran; courtesy of Zebulon
