In the early 2000's, Sally Decelis and David Schneider began their journey of community involvement, joining larger charitable organizations dedicated to bringing awareness, support, and resources to local families and children with disabilities. After years of serving in supporting roles and seeing firsthand the impact that our community involvement can make, we decided to venture out on our own.  In 2021, Sally Decelis and David Schneider founded DNS Live Music Promotions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission  to use live music  as a tool for cultural celebration, community engagement,  and charitable  giving. What started as a passion project quickly evolved into an integral part of Austin’s vibrant music scene, curating experiences that do more than entertain – they nurture community bonds and drive social evolution.

More Than Just Concerts—A Platform for Unity and Impact

 

At the heart of DNS’  mission is to serve as more than just a concert  but cultural and community awareness. Our goal for all events:

​

• Showcase diverse musical talents, highlighting both local and regional artists across multiple genres.

• Bring cultures together, reflecting the unique tapestry of Austin’s live music community.

• Create immersive experiences, where attendees don’t just watch a performance but become part of a movement for unity.

• Social responsibility and community awareness, promote local and regional charities that make a meaningful impact in the community and align with our mission of unity, inclusion, and support through music.
