WHAT CAME BEFORE.

JD McPherson

A show that came about via some mutual acquaintances and a booker taking a chance on a gal in a venue he had never heard of before.

Philosophy

Music touches everyone. Everyone has heard a song. Everyone remembers their first concert. Everyone remembers that certain song that marked that amazing moment in their life. And personally I have found that seeing music live has endeared me to certain musicians I would have otherwise never sought out.

Live music is an opportunity. It gives the viewer an option to engage directly with the makers of music that are so far removed these days from tangible moments.

11 YEAR ITCH seeks to curate those moments in a thoughtful way.


 

A FEW OF the AWESOME artists I have had the privilege to book.

This guy gets community and I had the pleasure of creating micro-residencies on every visit. We visited schools, breweries, art centers, the local library and more to give Ben the opportunity to be truly invested in the community. He wanted more of an experience than simply arriving, playing a show and exiting.
