The Siesta Key Music Scene Facebook Page and Group were created as a labor of love to give back to the local music community. This free, open space allows bands to post gig announcements, fans to share live performance videos, and musicians to network. It also highlights the area’s Southern rock heritage, including icons like Dickey Betts, Duane Betts, and other musicians tied to the Key and Sarasota area. Today, the group approaches 4,000 members, with nearly 2,000 followers on the page and around 160,000 monthly views. In addition to fostering the music scene, the platform also helps connect my EikonaGrfxs illustration and graphic design services to musicians, venues, and event coordinators, and has opened the door to sponsorship opportunities from local businesses.
