The show

The band walks on without a setlist.

Everyone in the room ranks the songs from their phone. Ranked choice, live, results on the screen behind the band. Whatever the room picks is what gets played.

It's ninety minutes of arena rock — Van Halen, Queen, AC/DC, Springsteen, Toto, Elton John, Stevie Wonder — played by a full band who can genuinely play it. The ballot isn't a gimmick bolted onto a concert. It's the reason the room is loud: people fight for their song, and then they hear it.

Nobody watches a setlist they chose the same way they watch one handed to them.

And there's a turn in the second half we don't spoil on a website. We'll walk you through exactly what it is before you commit to anything — we'd just rather your students find out in the room.

More Unites Than Divides

Ninety minutes of arena rock at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, setlist chosen live by the room. The footage on this page is from that night.

Not From Here

The same live ballot, a new set, and the turn in the second half. This is the one we're booking now.

What happened last time

We've done this once. Here's the honest version.

In December 2025 we put on More Unites Than Divides at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. Eighty people came.

The room worked. Nearly everyone in it took part, the band was excellent, and every review that came back afterward was positive. What didn't work was how we filled the room — we bought radio and mailers and learned that the only thing that actually brings people out is somebody they already trust telling them to come.

That's the entire reason this page exists. We'd rather work with a handful of campuses who each have a real audience than spend another dollar advertising to strangers.

Two ways to work with us

Same show. Two completely different deals.

Which one you are changes everything about the conversation — the money runs in opposite directions. Pick the door that fits and you'll get straight numbers instead of a brochure.

Campus programming boards

You buy out the house.

You pay a flat fee and the show is free to every student who walks in. No ticketing, no box office, no cash handling. We route several Triangle campuses inside one week, which is what makes the per-school number work.

  • Free admission for your students
  • Headcount and engagement reported back to you
  • We price against your cost-per-attendee target
For programming boards
Student organizations

You make it your fundraiser.

The show is ticketed at a venue off campus. Your organization gets its own link and keeps half of everything it sells through it, against a guaranteed floor. It costs your organization nothing either way, because your members aren't the buyer — the audience is.

  • 50% of every ticket your link sells
  • $500 guaranteed minimum, paid regardless
  • $0 cost to your organization, ever
For student organizations
Not sure which one you are? Student organizations can also co-sponsor a campus date instead of running the ticketed version — same show, no selling. Say hello and we'll work out which shape fits you.

Why we're doing this

So you don't have to guess.

We're building a show we want to tour. To do that we need two things a campus can give us: evidence that these rooms fill, and footage of a full house.

That's the whole motive, and we'd rather say it plainly than have you wonder. We're not raising money off your members, we're not collecting your membership list, and nobody gets asked to sign up for anything at the door.

Where the money goes is equally boring. Partners keep half of what their own link sells; the other half goes back into the production budget, which the door does not come close to covering — the difference is funded out of pocket. The band and the crew get paid. The people producing it don't, yet. The goal is for the show to pay for itself and eventually to pay everyone who makes it. When a partner sells more, we both do better. That's the whole arrangement.

The questions everyone asks

Straight answers.

What's actually in the show?

Ninety minutes of arena rock — Van Halen, Queen, AC/DC, Springsteen, Toto, Elton John, Stevie Wonder — and a live ballot. It's built to be non-partisan, and that's a design constraint rather than a disclaimer: the whole thing stops working the moment a room splits into teams. Nobody is named, endorsed, or asked to sign up for anything.

Can we read the script?

Yes — the whole thing, before you commit to anything. We'll send it to your advisor or your exec board. We'd rather you know exactly what's in it than take our word for it.

Do students download anything?

No. The ballot is a web page — scan a code, rank the songs, done. No app, no account, no signup, nothing installed on anyone's phone.

Who's actually behind it?

Music direction by Lance Horne — Emmy winner, Juilliard, music director for Alan Cumming and Rufus Wainwright. Produced by Ken Romley through UARExperiences, Inc. Performed by a full working band out of the Triangle.

How do you know it'll land with our students?

Because we ask them first. Months ahead, your students get a short page where they mark which songs they'd sing along to — and the ballot is built from what came back at your school. The show isn't packaged and shipped. It's built per room.

What do you need from the venue?

House sound and lights, and a screen the back row can read. We bring the band, the music direction, the ballot system and our own production supervision. Certificate of insurance provided.

Start a conversation.

Tell us which campus you're at and which of the two shapes fits. We'll send the reel, the script, and straight numbers. No commitment in the first email.
