Originally founded in 2014, Local 622 is a weekly live music showcase featuring a unique and eclectic mix of artists, songwriters, and musicians from around the Coachella Valley.

The name comes from the address of Birba, the showcases location, and of course the word "local" references the talent. It’s an opportunity for artists to explore new and unpublished materials in a live atmosphere that offers a special, intimate, opportunity for vacationing guests to see, hear and feel something that is truly authentic to the Desert.

Local 622 is an event self-produced by F10 Creative.

The Bathroom Series featuring Abe Alvarez - Tostado w/ Q&A

in terms of “public” art spaces, bathrooms are traditionally overlooked, a missed opportunity for an artist and the public to have a shared experience. By offering this blank three-dimensional canvas our goal is to give the artist the opportunity for creative expression while we and the public at large get the opportunity to think differently about a space that is traditionally thought of as a solely utilitarian.

Artist Spotlight with Local Indie Pop Band, Caxton

Musically, I'd say we're mostly inspired by the artists we grew up listening to (classic rock, punk, jazz, etc). Lyrically, we draw from stories in pop culture, social issues, and personal experience. We share a lot of the same influences but we also have such diverse tastes and interests that I think explain our eclectic sound.
