During one of the pandemic era “restarts” it became evident that Covid-19 would continue to wreak havoc on the live music business. On June 20, 2020, during a show with Huckleberry Funk, HI-FI co-owner Josh Baker sketched the idea the annex on the back of a napkin outside the green room. The concept featured shipping containers that formed an outdoor music experience that would allowing HI-FI to continue hosting shows. Thanks to the hard work of Aaron Betzner (and his sons) of A Squared Fabrication, this idea became a reality quicker than we thought. In just 30 days, on July 17, 2020, HI-FI Annex hosted its first show with Saint Aubin & Brother O’ Brother. Over the years, The Annex has evolved in to a full fledged music venue and is renowned as one of Indy’s most unique live music venues.
