The ChallengeThe identity
A schedule that lived only on Facebook.
Every date, every venue, every lineup was buried in a feed. Regulars had to scroll to find out what was on this week, and there was nothing to hand a venue that was thinking about booking. The site needed to be the place the calendar actually lives.
What we builtA calendar that keeps itself current.
✓Recurring-night engine: rules like "every other Wednesday" or "last Saturday of the month" expand into real dates automatically, so the calendar never needs manual upkeep
✓Live events page grouped by month, with the next date always surfaced on the homepage
✓Scrolling marquee ticker of upcoming dates across the top of the site
✓Photo gallery with a masonry-style grid that still looks deliberate while it fills up
✓Brand identity derived from his existing logo, with the palette sampled directly from it and extended into a full design system
✓Hourly revalidation so the calendar advances on its own without a redeploy
His logo is red, white, and blue Americana. Rather than drop it onto a generic template, the whole site was built outward from it, with navy and red sampled straight from the artwork, paired with a lit-marquee motif of chasing bulbs and a printed-program layout for the listings. It reads like a county-fair sign, which is exactly the room he books.
