PBOB is an Australian Registered Charity that uses the power of music to build community, strengthen social connection, and enhance individual and collective wellbeing.
We create impact across all generations by bringing people together through events: Parents Battle of the Bands. Parent musicians step on stage and spark creativity, joy, and belonging, and we donate a lion's share of the proceeds to primary school music programs.
Our mission: to put music back in the daily rhythm of life through live events that reconnect people and celebrate what’s possible when communities come alive through music.

1. Creating Connection
Parents and carers build real community through music, tapping into its positive impact on wellbeing, reconnecting with play, and rediscovering their own creativity.
2. Kids’ Growth
Access to music programs boosts children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. We’re seeing young bands emerge in school communities across the country, inspired by the adults modelling creativity and courage on stage.
3. Boosting the Creative Industries
PBOB fills venues, often selling out, and helps energise local music ecosystems by bringing new audiences and community into the room.
