We want to thank everyone who made our 13th season of bluegrass music at the Alliance for the Arts a huge success! A big thank you goes out to the AMS board and volunteers, Bruce White who runs our website and emails, Bill Taylor and the staff at the Alliance for the Arts, our soundman Tyler, the great bands that played so well, and our audience who showed up to listen and enjoy the music. In fact, you showed up in impressive numbers. We had over 500 folks attend our 6 shows! Our final show was just short of a full house in the 145-seat theatre. And all of the shows were wonderful. From our repeat bands who entertain us annually to the new bands that brought some exceptional musicians to our stage, every show was well received. Most bands tell us that our venue is one of their favorites. It not only takes a great band to make a great show, it takes a great audience! This is really a team effort and we were firing on all cylinders.
Thank You!
Currently we are working with the Lee County Alliance for the Arts (www.artinlee.org) to promote bluegrass events at their facility in Fort Myers.
