About Kingston Live

Kingston Live is an independent, volunteer-run, community media organization covering local and live music in Kingston, Ontario.

We exist to help advance the narrative of our city's musical landscape, and to realize Kingston's potential as a premier music destination: Canada’s First Capital of Music.

Our aim is to expose Kingston's citizens and visitors to more live music opportunities, and to provide a platform for local acts and artists, music festivals and venues to reach an audience of local and live music lovers.

Our media footprint includes the monthly Kingston Live podcast, the Kingston Live website, a subscription e-newsletter, community broadcast radio, and a presence on key social networks.
