FreeConcertFinder Launches and Expands a Searchable Guide to Free Live Music Across New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
FreeConcertFinder is a growing regional guide designed to help people discover confirmed public free live music by date, town, county and state. The site brings together community concert series, park and waterfront performances, libraries, arts organizations, shore stages, festival programming and other verified public events across New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Genre search is built into FreeConcertFinder: visitors can narrow upcoming listings by rock, pop, jazz and blues, R&B/soul/funk, classical, country/Americana, Latin/salsa, reggae/Caribbean, folk/acoustic, tribute, electronic/DJ, world/cultural and more — alongside town, date, county and state.

Created by New Jersey composer, producer, keyboardist and pianist Mark Gottlieb, FreeConcertFinder grew from a lifelong love of writing, performing, listening to and discovering music. Mark has been writing music for 50 years. He also creates original contemporary jazz, melodic instrumental music and new releases through Mark Gottlieb Music.

The project is inviting towns, county parks, libraries, arts councils, venues, tourism organizations, artists, managers and community presenters to share complete seasonal schedules, official event links, rain-date updates, time changes, cancellations and corrections. The goal is to make free music easier for residents to find while helping organizers and performers reach more people.

How to participate:

Concert fans: search the guide, share useful local listings, and send comments, corrections or ideas through Contact Us.
Towns, parks, libraries and community organizers: submit full seasonal schedules, rain dates, location changes, access details and official links through Add Show.
Artists, bands, managers and booking agencies: submit confirmed public free dates with artist, date, venue, town/state and an official source.
Venues and presenters: share free series, updated lineups, image credits, accessibility details and cancellation notices.
Media, event calendars and tourism organizations: request local roundups, founder quotes, press-kit material or verified listings for a coverage area.
FreeConcertFinder reviews submitted information before publication, dedupes listings, and keeps free events clearly identified. Events such as casino series are monitored but not listed unless free admission is clearly confirmed without a purchase, players-card, hotel or gambling requirement. The guide continues to deepen New York coverage alongside ongoing New Jersey and Pennsylvania updates.
