“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

The Listening Booth exists to create a cultural center in Southern Delaware where original art and music is celebrated.

Gramophone

Located in Lewes (loo-is), Delaware - a fast-growing, high-income, East Coast beach town full of big-city ex-patriates - The Listening Booth, will be an intimate 60-80 person venue with good wine, coffee and light bites. Designed specifically to be an artist-first venue, we’re recreating that college town coffee shop or bar where audiences know they will hear great music on any given night. 

 

Founded by an artist, funded and supported by local music lovers, The Listening Booth is already a place that artists truly love to play. With our physical venue on track to open by the end of 2023; we are already running a series of pre-launch concerts in a beautiful 100 seat movie theater in town. 

Please join us at one of our pre-launch concerts and experience The Listening Booth for yourself.
