Peterborough's Music Class Of 2015 Photo
/A Peteborough Class of 2015 Facebook page has been set up inviting anyone involved in the Peterborough music industry/community together for a group photo to celebrate this city's amazing music scene.
Other communities have done similar group photos to celebrate their success and showcase their talent to the world.
A date has not been set yet but organizers are looking at doing this possibly later this month, to get everyone in one spot at one time. The event is 100 percent inclusive and anyone who was worked in any capacity in the music community here from bands to sound engineers to graphic designers to PR folk are invited.
Learn more on the Facebook page, and spread the word!
Great idea!!

"Before We Arrive: The Story Of The Weber Brothers" Music Documentary
/
Peterborough's The Weber Brothers have been together for 15 years, performing many coast to coast tours. Like any band, they have gone through ups and downs.
A documentary six years in the works on the band, Before We Arrive: The Story Of The Weber Brothers, is now in post-production. It's directed and produced by Rob Viscardis, and the producer/directory of photography is Jeremy Blair Kelly.
The team behind the doc are launching a crowdfunding campaign to go towards their postproduction budget.
For The Weber Brothers, what matters most in their rollercoaster ride of being a band is not fame, fortune, or mainstream success. It's simply about making music. Something this upcoming documentary explores.
"Before We Arrive" is a culmination of events, performances and interviews that have been collected over the past decade and a half from The Weber Brothers’ career.
Watch the teaser trailer below for the doc, which is slated for release later this year...
