Board schedules music showcase for Aug. 19 at the Ritchie to connect musicians and bookers
Summary
The advisory board set a music-friendly showcase for Aug. 19 at the Ritchie (7–9 p.m.), aiming to let local musicians play two songs each while inviting venue bookers and industry contacts to meet performers.
The Chair told the board that a music-friendly showcase is set for Wednesday, Aug. 19, at the Ritchie in the venue's regular 7–9 p.m. slot. "We've scheduled that for August 19th, Wednesday, at the Ritchie, in the slot of their regular music, 7 to 9," the Chair said, describing a format that would allow each act two songs so more performers can participate.
Members discussed whether two hours would be enough and whether to plan for three hours as a contingency; the primary goal is to give local musicians exposure to venue owners and bookers and to help connect performers who may form future collaborations. Board members said they plan outreach to the music mailing list and to local venue contacts to crowdsource missing contact information.
