A LONG TIME AGO, SID HAD A DREAM...
For as long as he could remember, Sid The Cat has wanted to throw his own concerts. Music is in Sid’s DNA, and a lifetime of going to shows has taught Sid that the most memorable ones always centered around the artist. So in January of 2015, Sid The Cat gathered his family around and asked for their help in booking live music guided by that ethos. Within weeks, Kyle Wilkerson and Brandon Gonzalez were planning the very first shows under the banner of Sid The Cat Presents.
From those humble beginnings, Sid has gone on to work with some of the biggest artists in the world. But whether it’s for an audience of 100 or 17,000, Sid believes in treating the artists well, and promoting shows with much love and attention. DIY is in our DNA, we are proud to have begun that way, and will never forget that.
Sid The Cat is honored to have hosted shows with boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers, Bright Eyes, Big Thief, Jim James, Moses Sumney, Mac DeMarco, Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band, Ty Segall, M.
