Evolving from a single quarantine project (“Off The Bandstand”), Bandstand Presents is an Austin-based arts organization, management agency and record label committed to the inclusivity, visibility, and collaboration of jazz scenes across the nation.
Founded by vocalist, bandleader, lyricist and producer, Christian Wiggs, Bandstand highlights not only the brilliant talents and contributions of these jazz musicians, but celebrates the personalities that are integral to the art they create.
In under two years, Bandstand has had a national presence - their work being featured through NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, ABC World News Now, NPR Live Sessions, Playbill, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Broadway World, SXSW, JAZZIZ, Queerty, Pride.com and Sirius XM.
Their record label has yielded chart topping albums from artists Emmet Cohen (#1 JazzWeek), Benny Benack III (#2 JazzWeek), Steven Feifke (#8 JazzWeek), Bryan Carter and Kate Kortum.
