Our Why

For the Community

A core element of our mission to support musical arts in Siskiyou County is the belief we can enhance the vitality and quality of life in our rural area by building community and fostering meaningful in-person connections through production of live music events and workshops.

An equally important element is the creation of local business opportunities, supportive infrastructure and facilities that attract touring musicians to our community.

For the Artists

The streaming environment and rising travel costs have created unprecedented challenges for musicians to make a sustainable living. Our mission is to provide opportunities for musicians to showcase their talents, receive fair payment and support direct sales of their products to their audience.

We are proud that the McCloud River Music Series is well-known within the music community for supporting artists with generous hospitality. Whenever possible, we share with our musicians the extraordinary beauty and recreational opportunities found in our mountain community.
