San Francisco takes center stage this Super Bowl week as EMPIRE celebrates 15 years with a free pop-up music museum inside its downtown headquarters. 🎶
Founded by Ghazi Shami, the independent powerhouse is opening its archives to the public, showcasing platinum plaques, awards, rare posters, and memorabilia that trace both the label’s evolution and the Bay Area’s cultural rise. The exhibit highlights EMPIRE’s journey from a San Francisco startup to a global force, all while staying rooted in independent ownership and artist-first values.
With the city buzzing from Super Bowl energy, the timing couldn’t be sharper. As visitors from around the world pour into the Bay, EMPIRE is making sure the region’s music legacy gets its moment in the spotlight.
Open during Super Bowl week at One Montgomery, the pop-up stands as a celebration of local influence, longevity, and independent power done right!
