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!!
