This Season's Featured Performers Are Set!

This is the list of Featured Performers for all of our open stages this summer.  We are so excited!!!  We still have 20 minute sets available for anyone who is interested in performing.  To register click on the Musician/Performer signup info page.

Another thing to note, Seitz & Sounds is not happening on July 3rd.  WVPE's Meet Me on the Island is happening that same night on the other side of the river at Island Park.  They will have great live music and there's just not enough distance between both events to deal with sound issues.  So check out Meet Me on the Island on July 3rd.  It goes from 5:30 - 10 p.m. and ends with fireworks over the river!

Hello Friends!

Today we are definitely feeling the LOVE from all of you. It is the first day of our Indiegogo Campaign and we have already raised $885!!! We are so thankful for the contributions and all the support we have seen today.

We want to give a special shout out to Andrew Elegante, who was our very first contributor! Thanks for setting the trend Andrew!

We also want to give a special thanks to Charles Florence from The Indiana Whiskey Company for his generous donation. Last year, we worked with Indiana Whiskey and had some tastings at a couple shows. We are beyond thankful for all that he has done to help us.

Our other contributors today we want to give a shout out to are:

Holly Fry Young

David Matthews

Talisman Art Studio & Productions

Billy Syms

Mari Anna Mckenzie

Again, thank you to all of our friends, we are so humbled by your support.
