What We Do
Born from intimate living room jam sessions in Charlotte, NC in the mid-1980’s, Tosco Music Parties have grown into popular community concerts where nationally recognized acts share the stage with undiscovered artists and audience members are invited to sing along throughout the evening. In 2019, Tosco Music will expand Tosco Music Beatles Tribute into FABFEST - Charlotte's Beatles Festival, a weekend celebration drawing fans of the Fab Four from across the Southeast to Charlotte - visit FABFESTCharlotte.org for details.
From concerts and open mic nights to music scholarships and outreach, Tosco Music is dedicated to helping the community explore, develop and share their passion for music in all its forms. Tosco Music became a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 1999.
Tosco Music is a resident company of Blumenthal Performing Arts and produces five Tosco Music Parties (TMP’s) each year. A TMP is a music variety showcase of an eclectic mix of music styles by approximately 15 acts performing one or two songs each. Every TMP is a completely unique live music experience that also engages the audience in singalongs throughout the evening led by John Tosco and the TMP House Band & Singalong Choir.
Every June, Tosco Music presents a Beatles Tribute in the same format - only all Beatles songs!
In December, a special Tosco Music Holiday Party hosts a festive community celebration of the season with the same diversity of performers and audience participation.
Tosco Music has evolved over three decades primarily through the grassroots efforts of passionate volunteers into a nonprofit organization whose community outreach and impact has a deeply rooted history in Charlotte. In addition to five Tosco Music Parties each year, Tosco Music also:
• nurtures youth and emerging talent with performance opportunities,
• awards youth and adult music scholarships,
• leads senior singalong parties in senior communities,
• gives free tickets to local nonprofits to increase access to live music experiences,
• hosts a monthly open mic for all ages and experience levels, and
• presents live music at community events that are free and open to the public.
