Local Events & Sponsorships
We love our local festival scene and Abbfest is one of the highlights! That is why we proudly sponsor ‘Battle of the Bands’. Abbfest is a weekend-long celebration of the best in local food, drink, and entertainment, annually in September all for charity. It’s one of the many ways we give back to the community and celebrate the incredible talent that comes out of our area. Next year, it could be you!! Battle of the Bands might just be their next big break!
We get a lot of requests from local charities and community groups, asking if we can provide raffle prizes and donations to their fundraising efforts. We support as many requests as we can each year, but as a small business we have a limited budget.
Supporting Local Causes
We also believe in supporting the causes that make a difference in our community. That’s why we’ve partnered with No Limits Community Cafe and Hub, a local charity that provides vital services and support for people facing social isolation and loneliness. No Limits isn’t just any charity; they’re part of the Phoenix Sounds family, and they keep us well-fed on Record Store Day with their now-infamous bacon and vegan baps for those in the queue! So next time you’re at the shop, grab a bite to eat or drink at the café around the corner and help support this amazing cause.
Championing Local Artists
Our community is filled with incredible musical talent, and we’re proud to support local bands and singers. Inside Phoenix Sounds, you’ll find a special section dedicated to their music where we showcase and sell records, CDs, and merch from homegrown talent. (100% of sales go to the local artist) as we know how hard it is for independent artists to get their music out there and the costs involved, so we promote on our own socials wherever we can.
And if you're an artist yourself, come and chat with us about how we may be able to help share your music with the world!
