In 2013, rising indie soul stars Brown Baby Girl and Adina Nyree joined forces to create the Play It Forward Eclectic Soul Tour (PIFEST), a music tour to share their brand of simply good for the SOUL music while giving back to the communities that they were visiting. 

In 2018, PIFEST became a full 501c3 and began to offer their concerts and event management skills to non-profit organizations, functioning more similarly as a B2B for non-profit organizations. PIFEST has always looked to partner with not-for-profit civic and cultural organizations in the areas where they were performing. A portion of the ticket sales were always shared with the organizations chosen in the community. PIFEST now gives a portion of their annual benefit proceeds to a local organization.

Today, as a 501c3, PIFEST offers it’s services so that non-profit and community-based organizations can FUNdraise a little differently. We offer our concert services at a fixed rate so that organizations can create their own benefit concerts with minimal effort. Yet, these organizations keep the lion’s share of the proceeds. PIFEST is happy to help organizations find the best and most effective ways to bring in additional revenue in support of their benefit such a raffles, auctions, digital journals and more.

The PIFEST All-Star Band featuring jazz bassist, Ace Livingston, and indie soul sensations, Adina Nyree and Brown Baby Girl are always available but are not the only musical acts with whom PIFEST works. PIFEST has created organ concerts, salsa concerts, multi-day events and more at the request of our clients.

If you are an organization that would like to create your next fundraiser as a benefit concert with PIFEST, just email us to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your fundraising goals and event budget, then we’ll create an event proposal for your organization.
