Give Back
Leading By Example
MusicNomad continues to lead by example with their generous give-back program, ONE FOR MUSIC. Standing together as ONE with music and musicians and they are backing it up big time by donating to musicians and programs that play or promote music in everyday life. “Whether it’s being leaders in the instrument care category or for how much we give back, we prefer to lead,” says Rand Rognlien, Founder. Their goal is to support people on their musical journey and spread the power of music to feed their soul and those who hear it. The money supports local, national and international musicians and music programs. “MusicNomad started as a musicians’ advocate organization before we created products, so giving back is in our veins. While we have always given back we wanted to make it official and stronger,” says Rognlien. Some current examples are they donate supplies and uniforms to the local high school band program, award high school music scholarships, fund an interest free loan to a local music company in need, donate annually to national music non-profits, and many other donations are in the works as they expand the program.


Additional Ways We Give Back
MusicNomad Resources:
In 2008, MusicNomad.com launched as a free resource for musicians everywhere. The site offers thousands of ranked and reviewed tools to help artist produce, sell, and support their music, along with hundreds of tips and articles to explore. Built on the goal of being authentic and passionate about helping musicians, the site was never designed as a way to make money. Everything is free to use – and it will stay that way.
Guitar Tracker:
GuitarTracker, launched in November 2013, is available as both a free web-based and mobile app. It helps musicians, repair techs, and collectors keep track of their instruments and stay on top of maintenance anytime, anywhere.
Northern California Battle of the Bands:
MusicNomad has founded & supported the annual Northern California MusicNomad Battle of the Bands for youth music. This dynamic competition, held in Sonoma, brings together young musicians from across the region to showcase their talents in a vibrant, community-centered setting. The annual event features 10+ bands, ranging from rock and jazz to indie and hip-hop, all composed of artists 18 and under.
