ABOUT PITSWEAT MUSIC
PitSweat Music is on a mission to highlight the mind-boggling, ear riveting excitement created by today’s virtuoso musicians. Best of all, we do this by bringing you up close and personal with these amazing artists.
PitSweat Music hopes these videos will inspire you to explore live music in your area; and maybe even get in line a few hours early, stand in the sun, get sweaty, and experience these amazing musicians from the pit!
Our Story
PitSweat Music started as two people going to live concerts, mostly to see jam bands. More often than not, we found ourselves in the pit. Being that one of us is a bit short, visibility was usually obstructed. So, we started coming to shows early, standing in the sun or cold, just to get a spot on the rail. Somewhere along the line (think it was an Umphrey’s McGee show in Chattanooga). One of us couldn’t go and asked the other to take a lot of video footage. Later that week, almost immediately after starting to watch the concert footage, the person who didn’t attend the show said “That’s YouTube quality video. You should post it.” We laughed. But we started taking much more video footage when attending concerts. In July 2023, while going through the raw footage, it became evident that we had enough material to curate into highlights and make available for free to others. That was the birth of our PitSweat Music YouTube channel. This obsession with getting to concerts early (sometimes very, very early), getting clean footage, post-show processing, and posting to YouTube has become a running commentary among our family and friends.
Our Philosophy
We have a simple philosophy. Do our part to highlight these artists and bands by providing another avenue to connect them with old and new fans.
Our Commitment
Provide amateur concert video footage at no cost to the artists or the fans.
We’d certainly be appreciative, however, if you helped support us (again, no obligation).
By supporting PitSweat Music, you’re also promoting the artists we highlight!
