The Happenstance


The Happenstance is a yearly musical event in Atlanta, Georgia. They select 30 musicians, make them meet early in the morning at a local rock club, randomly divide them into 5 piece bands, and send them off to create a 20 minute set of music which they will perform that evening. It's thoroughly entertaining, entirely random, and more than a little bit insane. Oh yeah, it's for a good cause. Past charities include The Atlanta Community Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity and The New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund.

Come watch some of the best independent musicians in Atlanta create something unique, fun, and for a great cause. The Happenstance is organized by Brian Fletcher (Luigi) and Jeff Holt (Silent Kids, Georgia Fireflies) with help from various other local musicians. Learn more at thehappenstance.com.

The past four years of performances can be heard and downloaded here:
