Custom Merch for Bands in Phoenix, AZ
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Phoenix, AZ, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Phoenix. Phoenix is young without being a college town: the median age is 34.9, and students are 6% of residents aged 3 and up against 7% nationally (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so tees and caps still lead.
Phoenix by the numbers
Phoenix has 1,665,481 residents, up 3.6% since 2020 (Census estimates).
Maricopa County has 48 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.10 for every 10,000 residents, below the national figure of 0.17. 90% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 50% from 32 in 2018.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.
Maricopa County as a whole has 4,689,558 residents, up 6% since 2020. Maricopa County has one musical group or artist for every 97,700 residents.

What Phoenix's weather means for bands
July highs average 107°F in Phoenix, so a daytime outdoor set calls for white, sand and other light tees, with the black ones saved for night shows indoors. No month averages a high under 65°F, but December nights fall to an average low of 45°F, so a small stack of hoodies covers late outdoor sets in winter. Highs reach 70°F or more for 10 months, February to November, so patio and outdoor shows run most of the year and tees can lead the table on nearly every date. Around 111 days a year reach 100°F, so daytime sets need shade for fans and stock alike: the table goes under a canopy, and light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps lead over anything heavy. With only about 7.2 inches of rain a year, an outdoor merch table seldom needs rain cover, so pack a canopy for sun rather than a tarp for showers.
