We're Listening Logo

We’re Listening isn’t just a 501(c)(3) organization; it’s a cultural experiment aimed at addressing one of the most insidious problems of our time: the loneliness epidemic. In an era where everyone is supposedly “connected,” more people than ever feel like they’re floating through life without an anchor. Enter We’re Listening, a nonprofit dedicated to combating this emotional isolation through the arts—specifically, original music, songwriting, and storytelling.

 

Operating under the name The Listening Booth, this isn’t just another venue at the Delaware beaches. It’s a place where melodies become a shared experience, where lyrics act as a salve for collective solitude, and where people aren’t just entertained—they’re seen. We’re Listening doesn’t simply aim to entertain; it seeks to remind us all that we’re part of something bigger, using the universal language of music to cut through the noise of modern disconnection.

“I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, ‘You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don’t need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it’s the very best, and it’s the part I give most willingly”
― George Harrison
