“Undergrounds is all about the community and all about supporting artists in the community,” said Janie Pearce, Manager of the Undergrounds. “We love having local artist come here, we love supporting them and giving them a place to play.”
Undergrounds Coffeehouse is an all donation, all volunteer coffeehouse that is run by the Real Life Church.
“You pay what you feel the coffee is worth,“ Pearce said.
All of the donations they receive go to local charities.
“We love the whole donation aspect — challenging people to support the artists and charities,” Pearce said. “We have donated to the Art Tree and Arthritis Foundation to name a couple.”
Undergrounds supports the local artists by having “Starving Artist” jars in front of the stage. People can go up to the stage and drop tips in at any time during the show.
“Undergrounds is a beautiful sounding room, especially when its full of people. They have an amazing professional sound system and amazing people. I can only say positive things about it,” said Clayton Severson, a local musician.
Severson is a singer/songwriter who is influenced by the music of James Taylor, Tom Petty, Neil Young and John Mayer
“This is my first time playing in Santa Clarita,” Severson said. “I’m from a small town in Iowa and Los Angeles is a crazy but wonderful place to be.”
Not only does Underground provide a place where musicians can perform, — they host events such as family game nights and storytime for kids
“Undergrounds was like my second home before I started working here, “ said Pearce.
