It's Festival Season.
One of the very best times of the year.
Sun, relaxed lifestyle, friends, family and FESTIVALS.
Jazz, blues, rock, roots, pop, French. Everything !!
Especially Folk!
There are many folk festivals where you'll see and hear all of
those artists. The barriers are well down.
If it's music and engaging, then it all fits.
"An artistic director is a leader in arts
organizations who shapes and guides the creative
vision"
.
This is the second year we've had an Artistic
Director Cage Match.
All four AD's exchanging comments and suggestions about who's
coming and who not to miss. The state of the music business 2025.
They've all been shaping their rosters for the past year. At times,
going after the same hot artists.
The success of each festival rests on their shoulders.
When they're all in the same room, so to speak, it's best to
just has to ask a question and get out of the way.
