Show Notes
This week is enriching the cultural landscape just down the street from us in a festival and a brand new place to see music, shows, and more.
Of course we had to go and broadcast live from their brand new facilities, so today we broadcast live from the newly 2 days old HOPE Center for the Arts, and in celebration of the Springfield Jazz and Roots Festival happening this weekend
We'll hear from members of the team helping to bring that vision to life: Technical Director Kyle Homestead and Artistic Director Isaac Eddy about the man whose vision it was to return a beloved stage to Springfield in a way that engendered arts education: Bob Bolduc.
And we’ll learn about the incredible lineup of folx who’ll be gracing the stages of this year’s festival from founder Kristen Neville of Blues to Green and co-producer Evan Plotkin of NAI Plotkin.
Plus we get a live performance from one of the bands performing this weekend for those festivities, who’ll be taking advantage of the technology built into this location: Water Seed
