JUMP TO: San Francisco / Santa Rosa

We’re grateful to all of you who listened to, contributed to, and supported our fledgling radio station. It was a long time dream of ours and we hope to bring it back some day.

The sad reality is that we have run out of funding for it.

Re-opening our San Francisco Theater and growing our Santa Rosa Theater is very costly and we need to focus all of our efforts on keeping these stages alive and making them thrive for the artists, our community, and all of us who love and rely on them.

We are up for the challenge and know that you’re right there with us. Thanks for all of your donations, for attending shows, and for spreading the good word about The Lost Church.

It’s farewell for now to Lost Church Free Radio, but together we have a long road ahead for live performance at our theaters.

TONIGHT!!
