In September Rise partnered with our friends at the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) and the Association of Independent Music (AIM) to sponsor the 2024 B2Beergarden mixer.

The mixer brought independent music industry professionals  from the U.S. and the U.K. together at the Reeperbahn Festival. And to help accomplish this A2IM and AIM reached out to Rise.

The Reeperbahn Festival  is a leading European music and arts event, known for its diverse mix of genres including rock, indie, electronic, pop, and experimental music. Held annually in Hamburg’s vibrant Reeperbahn district, it showcases both emerging and established artists from around the world. Alongside live performances, the festival features a robust conference program, attracting music industry professionals for panels, workshops, and networking. It also incorporates art exhibitions, film screenings, and digital projects, making it a hub for cultural innovation. The Anchor Award recognizes outstanding new talent, further solidifying the festival’s reputation for discovery and creativity.

It was a great time had by all, as common connections revealed themselves and stitched together new friendships over drinks and a shared love for music.
