The Problem

Support Your Scene Abilene consist of myself, Jeremy David Barker, Brett Calloway, and Andrew Rodriguez. We book local, and nationally known bands in Abilene for the youth. The only type of live music in Abilene is in bars, Where there are ads for alcohol, where the bands play drunk, and they are mostly 18 and over shows. We believe that music is something that should be enjoyed by everyone of all ages, and that drugs, alcohol, and violence should not be a part of it. Music today glorifies drugs, sex, alcohol,and violence. We are determined to show that you don't need those things to have fun! We charge admission at the door to pay bands and to rent places around town to have the shows. We do not make any profit off of shows, every dollar made is put right back into SYSA. We hope to one day open a venue, Like the door, that is christian run. That does not allow these impurities inside.
