Not a business. Just a welcoming backyard open to the
public, filled with music and community.
Lo’s Backyard began as a dream — a hope to create something
beautiful with music at the center. Today, it is a passion driven outdoor venue
tucked in a Bellevue backyard where extraordinary artists and music lovers come
together for unforgettable nights.
We are not a business. We are a community of friends who
believe in the magic of live music, and we are proud to offer artists a
platform where their talent is seen, heard, and deeply appreciated. Every
performance is up close and personal — and always memorable.
Our suggested donation model allows us to support incredible
talent while keeping the experience accessible. And the talent? It is nothing
short of remarkable.
