Soundcheck, a new live music series at Phoenix Art Museum, will make its debut.

The series will take place each third Thursday of the month from 6 to 7 p.m. Made possible through presenting sponsor the Men’s Arts Council, with additional support from Desert Financial Credit Union, Soundcheck brings local and regional acts to the museum for unplugged performances.

“Soundcheck aims to provide unique performances for everyone — spanning genres such as pop, rock, singer-songwriters, string ensembles, reggae, jazz, and more,” Jeremy Mikolajczak, the Sybil Harrington Director and CEO of the Phoenix Art Museum, shared in a statement.

The October-December lineup:

6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16

Nashville-based pop/rock duo 76th Street is the creative force of life-long best friends Haley Gold and Spencer Bryant, whose friendship and musical chemistry began in elementary school
