Why should you support
live music?
This quote is from Bailey Jones from the Sundilla
Acoustic Concert Series:
"Somewhere, there is probably
someone who lived in England in 1960s who turned down a chance to
go to The Cavern Club because he had never heard of the band. "The
band" in question was, of course, The Beatles. They went on to
have a bit of success in the music business; enough success that the
guy who didn't want to go see them play because he had never heard
of them is still kicking himself black-and-blue 40 years later. So
when you're trying to decide whether or not you want to drag yourself
out to see some unknown play... just remind yourself that every musician
was once an unknown, and that every musician who sells out arenas
for hundreds of dollars per ticket once played somewhere for under
ten bucks. And someone who paid hundreds of dollars to sit in the
last row of an arena once turned down the chance to sit on the first
row of a small venue for next to nothing.
Don't be this person!" Support live music!
(The above from the Lafayette Brewing Company,
Lafayette Indiana website.)
