As we gear up for a truly meaningful final days of 2022 and a special Mile 10, we’re pleased to announce that 2023 Music-Makers Subscriptions are ON SALE NOW. Becoming a Music-Maker is one of several opportunities available for fans of The Mile, original music fans and community or downtown advocates to sponsor and support Mile 10 and The Mile original music initiative overall.

Thank you for all you’ve done to support the original music movement since its launch in 2013 – and especially for helping carry us through the challenges brought by the pandemic.

We are so appreciative of what Music-Makers have meant to the original music movement in Appleton. Music-Makers have helped to transform the music scene in our community into one of exploration, discovery and remarkable experiences. You are also a big reason why Rolling Stone magazine has recognized Mile of Music and Appleton as a community known for creating a scene unlike any other.

This year, your support is needed more than ever as we continue to work on making Appleton one of just a few places nationwide known for truly celebrating original music the right way. Purchasing a 2023 Music-Makers Subscription is a helpful way for individuals to support the original music movement throughout the year. Along with corporate sponsors, ticket purchasers and in-kind supporters, Music-Makers make up a key support base that is critical to the progress made in such a short time in establishing Appleton as a music destination for talented artists from across the country!

Our goal for 2023 is to double the number of Music-Makers as a way of enhancing the movement and reinvesting in the artists and the scene.

Music-Makers Subscriptions are $135 (plus tax and fees) per subscription until March 1, 2023. After March 1, they will be $150 + tax/fees.
