Our Chance to Save Hermann's

We’re launching a community pledge campaign to raise $450,000, the amount needed to stabilize the organization, pay down inherited debt, and repair the long-neglected building and equipment.

If we reach that goal, Hermann’s and View Street Social will reopen on solid ground. If we don’t, we must close.

This is not about building something new. This is about preserving something that already matters to you, to musicians, and to this city.

For 45 years, Hermann’s has been a place where music lives. Where people connect. 

Where moments happen that don’t happen anywhere else.  Now it’s at risk of disappearing.

Here’s how it works:

You pledge today. We track the total.

If we reach $450,000 by April 26th, 2026, we will contact you to complete your contribution.

If we don’t, no funds are collected.
