The Client
Siesta Key Music Scene Facebook Page and Group: A grassroots online community I founded four years ago to celebrate and support the live music culture on Siesta Key and the surrounding Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton areas. The platform is a hub for musicians, fans, venues, and businesses to share gigs, videos, and event information while connecting with each other.
The Goal
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.

The Result
The Siesta Key Music Scene Facebook Page and Group have developed into a vibrant, respected community for live music promotion, artist collaboration, and fan engagement. Well-known musicians, venues, and businesses actively participate, boosting the group’s reach and credibility. Managing this platform has given me valuable insight into building and sustaining a large, engaged online community. It also serves as a natural channel to showcase my illustration, poster, logo, and social media design for the music industry. Plans are underway to grow the brand through a dedicated website, merchandise, and apparel — expanding both community impact and creative opportunities.
