Wtf is Get Sad Y'all?
Get Sad Y'all started as a small, one-man emo night at a now-defunct dive bar in downtown Raleigh, NC. They've since worked with Live Nation, idobi Radio, and some of the biggest names in the scene, including Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday, Jack Barakat of All Time Low, Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens, New Found Glory, Motion City Soundtrack, and many more.
In addition to events, Get Sad Y'all has also built a successful clothing brand, working with local Raleigh outlets like Munjo Munjo, SPK Design, and more.
Get Sad Y'all looks poised for continued growth in 2022 with further expansion into the Charlotte market and new partnerships in the works.
