Sanford Soundstage: Where Government and Creativity Merge
The City of Sanford proudly presents Sanford Soundstage, a new initiative bringing live, intimate musical performances to City Hall. Inspired by nationally popular “desk-style” series, Sanford Soundstage highlights local and regional talent while showing how City government can support the arts and cultural engagement.
Performances feature live music and short artist interviews, shared across YouTube, the Sanford Says podcast, Facebook, Instagram, and the City’s newsletter, The Clockwork Chronicle. Musicians are selected for talent, originality, and local connection, performing pro-bono to promote Sanford’s music scene. Artists gain exposure, professional video content, and the chance to be part of a high-profile City initiative celebrating local culture.
