About
“The Roar Shack represents our attempt to provide an affirmative vision for how we as artists and for how we as a city can revitalize downtown.”
~ Andy Meyerson, The Living Earth Show
Roar Shack Live! is a bold performance series reimagining what a cultural space can be in the heart of San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood. Presented by The Living Earth Show in partnership with Market Street Arts, RSL! transforms the former Mr. Smith’s cocktail lounge at 34-7th Street into a vibrant hub for experimental chamber music and genre-defying, immersive performances.
Rooted in San Francisco’s spirit of innovation, Roar Shack Live! invites audiences into a creative laboratory where artists explore the edges of sound, space, and storytelling. Each performance is site-specific and designed to engage deeply with the neighborhood’s energy, reflecting the city’s identity as a birthplace of boundary-pushing art. With a pay-what-you-can model, from $1 to $100 -Roar Shack Live! is committed to accessibility and to building an inclusive space for artistic connection and discovery.
This isn’t just a concert series - it’s a movement to make San Francisco a place where culture is created, not just consumed.
