Greetings, Olympia and beyond!

Did you know we do more than throw unforgettable funky dance parties? As part of our mission to uplift both new and established artists, we’re excited to introduce *A.M.P.* — the Accessible Music Program!
AMP collects, repairs, and redistributes instruments to young people in our community who need them most.

🎺 “How can I help?”
We’re currently seeking donations of gently‑used instruments!
Maybe you’ve got a high‑school band horn gathering dust… or a guitar from that brief “I’m totally starting a rock band” era. Whatever the story, your instrument can start a new one in the hands of a kid who might not otherwise have access.

🎶 First big collection event:
📅 July 25, 2026
📍 Ilk Lodge, Downtown Olympia
🎵 Featuring a live performance by Fireside Collective (This is a ticketed event - *BUT* an instrument donation nets you $5 off your ticket for the evening - dropoffs are available any time after 6 PM and do not require entry to event)

It’s the perfect night to support AMP, enjoy incredible music, and reward yourself with a smash burger and a root beer — because honestly, you deserve it.

Let’s give these instruments a second life and help the next generation make some noise.

Gratefully,

Richard, Danielle, and Alan - Ecstatic Sound Collective
