Sacramento-based “Fan Engagement” company ground(ctrl) is likely the biggest local music business that you’ve never heard of. They started seven years ago and have since seen incredible growth, going from zero to over 50 employees with offices in Sacramento, Nashville and even Tokyo! They’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the music business like Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and Lindsey Buckingham, just to name a few. Just last week ground(ctrl) announced that they are changing their name to Wonderful Union. “Since launching ground(ctrl) seven years ago, our company and vision have grown into something uniquely wonderful,” the company wrote on Wonderfulunion.com. “We have established ourselves as a unifying element between artists and fans, and this purpose has redefined us… We are proud of who we are and what we do, but we have always operated behind the scenes. Wonderful Union is about all of us. It’s about how we unite fans with the artists they love, and together, we are all Wonderful Union.” To celebrate the launch of this new era of their business, the good folks at WU are throwing a free show at Midtown BarFly on Monday, Feb. 16 as their official launch party. Headlining is a really great fuzz-rock/indie/pop-punk band from Oklahoma called Broncho, who is currently on tour with Billy Idol, and local support will be provided by The Croissants and So Stressed. Pretty amazing show for free.99 if you ask us! Party starts at 8 p.m., see you out there!
