May 2018 Getaway Report

Getaway is sold out for the full weekend and Saturday.

Sunday passes are available.

Filling up early makes preparations and outreach easier, so we’re in good shape.

Even thought Getaway is sold out,

we are going forward with a Morris Record article about Getaway and Terre Roche because it’s free advertising for Getaway and the Project.

House Concert Addendum:

The Strummin’ with the Stars house concert with Jackie Bristow and Mark Rush was quite successful despite the three-week lead time.

Thirty-five guests attended, and the music lasted for eight hours.

The performers took home $1,000 from admissions plus merchandise, making it the most lucrative gig on their tour.

We profited a tiny bit more than required.

The concert was outstanding, and the open stage and round robin were superb.

A number of the musicians commented on what a great playing opportunity we brought them - which was the purpose of the Strummin’ format.

Thanks to Chair Pam for enabling the experiment.
