As all things with Facebook, you periodically see these quick little challenges to list your favorite childhood memories, favorite movies, and so on. One of these challenges, the “List your top ten records” challenge caught my eye.
Friday morning, Performing Arts Live released the first portion of the Allentown JazzFest 2017 schedule.
Welcome to the world of Ninja.
Being heavily involved in the local music scene for more 11 years in multiple capacities, I have always wanted to know what makes a musician “tick.” I am always engaging musicians in conversations to get their feedback and thoughts on things important to them.
Because I always receive great feedback during these conversations, I decided to start posting questions on my Facebook page to engage musicians from all over the world, in addition to those at the local level. This has been a valuable tool for not just me, but for those musicians, as well.
This is why Ninjapedia was brought to Lehigh Valley Underground: to educate our music scene based on input from our peers. I hope you enjoy the answers to these questions as much as I do.
Today’s question is:
What does “support your local music scene” mean to you?
This Tuesday at Bethlehem Area Public Library’s South Side Branch (400 Webster St.), the community will have two chances at a dialogue with local public television station PBS39. The topic? A Community Conversation.
PBS39, which has supported artists in the past with television shows like the indie music-based Steel Sessions, will hold these sessions from 1-3 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Each session will allow PBS39 to better understand people’s aspirations for their community, the concerns they have, and what they believe might make a difference in strengthening the station’s work in the Lehigh Valley.
The public, including those in the arts community, are invited to attend this free community forum. For more information or to register, please visit this link.
