Our influences are progressive Black artists, famous and unknown, who are doing their thing regardless of what you or I think about it...
The Black Rock Coalition (BRC), now celebrating its 24th year, is a non-profit, member-supported organization founded to facilitate the maximum development, exposure and acceptance of Black alternative music and its creators.
Founded in 1985 by guitarist Vernon Reid, journalist Greg Tate and producer Konda Mason in reaction to the constrictions that the commercial music industry places on Black artists, the BRC is a collective of artists, writers, producers, publicists, activists and music fans assembled to maximize exposure and provide resources for Black artists who defy convention. To date, the BRC is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated to the complete creative freedom of Black artists.
