LATEST POSTS FROM THE BANDSTAND
Patterson is a veteran of the Fort Wayne music scene and easily one of the hardest-working musicians in our region. And thanks to his gentle spirit, respect for all forms of music, and love of others, he is also one of the most respected artists in town. Having seen this city through many economic and artistic changes, he has a unique perspective of the current climate. This makes him the perfect person to ask about where we came from, what we had, how we’re weathering the current climate, and what the future holds.
Ray Steup created a wonderful tribute to one of everyone’s favorite local music traditions. Some of our best friends make an appearance. Thank you to Ray and, as always, Bob Roets.
Dennis writes about how Trump succeeds on social media, not because his tweets are so high-tech or clever, but rather because he does things off social media that make his posts arresting.
Artists of all stripes tend to view marketing and self-promotion as a violation of the genuineness that makes their work at all worthwhile. But without a following, they simply can’t sustain their careers. So how can you get bigger audiences without selling your soul?
Paul sits down with Jonah Crismore, the Chief Programming Officer for the Embassy Theatre, to discuss his role, what goes into planning the venue’s events, and what the historic theater means to our city.
“I could move back to Nashville and [struggle] working some dead-end job, or I could move to Fort Wayne where I could live more affordable. And I was young here, so it’s the city I feel the most connected to,” says The Ruin Bar’s Cassie Ledbetter… You might recognize the location as the former Skeletunes Lounge. But step inside and you’ll experience something brand new and unique to our area.
Kevin Showalter writes about his experience singing with APQ-Harmonic for the inaugural New Year’s Eve Ball Drop in Fort Wayne, sharing some of his excitement along the way for the city’s vibrant and booming music scene.
Kea, the PyleStyle mascot, is full of mischief. She's created a bit of tension in the Junk-Pyle household. But she's also teaching us some valuable lessons.
