Welcome to First City Live! The new professional all ages live entertainment space in Marietta, OH! We are looking to book late 2026 into 2027 with unique events and music that are not currently featured in our market.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP US GET STARTED:

1. Local and regional acts (music or otherwise) - Email us at [email protected]
- please include your acts name, social media, genre, contact info and if possible a link to a sample of whatever you do best…..

2. Tag your favorite touring small indie-based bands, artists, comedians or entertainers. Please do not tag acts like Tyler Childers or AC/DC lol…we are looking to book up-and-coming indie rock/folk/county/dance/alternative acts that are possibly traveling through the area on their way to larger markets.

3. Comment suggestions! What do YOU want to see at an all ages venue? Could be bands of course but I’m looking past that into other cool things currently not normal to the other stages in the area.

4. AND THIS ONE IS BIG FOR ME…..I’m trying to fill the gaps a niche market…..Not disrupt the current one. Keep that in mind as we help figure this out TOGETHER. I have no interest in being anyone’s competition but rather a compliment to the towns growing artistic scene. I would love to partner and work with established entertainment spaces and be a positive addition to the area.
