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.
Shooter jennings
One of the first big names.
ben sollee
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.
Pokey LaFarge
One of the first shows ever booked and then he came back time and time again!!
The thermals
The moment one fan girls out because she gets to book one of her favorite bands.
J.D. Wilkes
A local who knows all the cool places to play.
Kelsey waldon
Hometown gal!
fairseas
Local band making big waves.
john paul White
Having worked with JPW several times, each performance was more amazing than the last.
