A women-led live music community
Live music is better with your besties.
Created by three women over 40, Live Music Besties is a welcoming crew for anyone who believes the best shows are the ones we share. Come find your people, discover new artists, and make plans for the next one.
Basecamp Sessions
Intimate sets, real conversations.
Settle in for stripped-back performances and easy, honest conversations with artists we love, all recorded live at Basecamp. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Where it's gone so far
From a camper to a growing roster — and we're just getting started.
Nine sessions in, Basecamp has welcomed bluegrass road warriors, funk-fueled bands, and solo singer-songwriters alike — each one pulling up a chair for a stripped-back set and an honest conversation.

Why we exist
The best nights are about the music and who is standing next to you.
Live Music Besties started with a simple truth: everything is better shared. The road trips, the front-row screaming, the 2am tacos, the "did you SEE that" texts the next morning.
Live Music Besties is a place to follow that feeling into something new. It is a women-led community, a trusted music guide, and a warm invitation to find your people. Come exactly as you are. There are songs to hear, places to go, and friendships still waiting to begin.
