Guided Concert Experiences

Not a show to attend —
a gathering to be part of.

Bring Forth's core live offering, led by Benjamin Jay Thomas.

Why We Do This

The songs aren't background to the hang.

Most nights out ask something of you — be entertained, be impressed, be "on." A Guided Concert flips that.

The Song is medicine. Something to receive from, not performance to watch from a distance. The room is built on invitation and trust. No one is required to sing, move, or participate — you're free to simply receive.

It started with Benjamin Jay Thomas and his 25-year songwriting career. It's grown into a wider collective, currently touring behind his 2026 album Behind Your Eyes, The Stars Are Born.

The Difference

Two rooms. Two very different nights.

Traditional House Show
Focus: The artist
Role of the songs: Entertainment, background to the hang
Audience posture: Casual, social, listening while talking
What's exchanged: Attention, given to the performer
Purpose of the room: A fun night out
Guided Concert Experience
Focus: The connection between people
Role of the songs: Something to receive from
Audience posture: Contemplative, reflective, present
What's exchanged: Presence, given to each other
Purpose of the room: Transformation
What It Looks Like

See the room. Feel the room.

A handful of clips from real nights.

— SCOTT S.
"The music and memory of this beautiful evening evokes the greatest of human feelings — unity, love, and possibility."
— SYLVIA W.
"Benjamin unites a room offering pause and vulnerability as he engages the spirit of humanity in the lost art of just BEING."

Hosting a Guided Concert

Everything you might want to know.

What is a Guided Concert?
  • A full evening woven around a ~90-minute concert — original songs, spoken reflection, silence, communal singing
  • People often stay well past the concert itself; the music is the doorway, connection is what happens after
What do I need to provide as a host?
  • An indoor space that comfortably seats 20–40 people — living room, studio, listening room, small venue
  • Your people — inviting your own network is a real part of what makes the night work
  • An evening of your time — light setup and being present as host
What does Bring Forth provide?
  • The full performance and facilitation, plus any additional musicians
  • A small food budget — we'll help provide light snacks and refreshments (healthy, simple options) and can work with you on what that looks like for your space
  • Promo graphics to share with your invite list
  • Coordination on logistics and format
  • A portable PA if the space needs one
What does it cost to attend?
  • Tickets are offered on a sliding scale
  • Nothing upfront to host
How much time does it take?
  • One short planning call or text thread beforehand
  • The evening itself, 2–3 hours including setup
  • Spreading the word to your network in the weeks prior
