"I've been waiting to produce this show since we had our old space The Spectrum," said The Dreamhouse co-founder Gage of the Boone, whose previous DIY LGBTQ venue, The Spectrum, closed. "I wanted to have a night that celebrates the incredible talent of up-and-coming artists, as well as established artists in our community that are more pop, electronic, R&B and rap. The new Dreamhouse space is perfect to create a more specific live music showcase with longer sets and more production."

Gage described The Dreamhouse as a community arts space dedicated to providing LGBTQ artists, performers and thinkers with a place to rehearse, practice and create on a sliding scale basis. "Our programming helps support this mission with other nights dedicated to experimental dance, music and poetry," he said. Previous performers have included Jay Boogie, Casey Spooner, Princess Nokia and Mister Wallace.
