Press Coverage

I should take a few minutes and talk about our press coverage to date. For one, the response in and around the town has been terrific and highly motivating and encouraging. I developed a press release along with my wife and friend Suzann A. I released it to the local, regional and national press for publication.

The first response was in January 2010 with the publication of the press release in the Commonwealth Progress, a local weekly based in Scotland Neck NC. This was a full reprint of the PR by the paper.

The second response was the Daily Southerner in Tarboro NC. They also printed the PR in its entirety.

Just this week I sat down with Della, a reporter for the Roanoke Daily Herald (Roanoke Rapids, NC) to provide details on who we were and on our plans for The Lodge. We toured the facility together and introduced her to Myra. She expects a story later this week and perhaps a series of 4-6 stories over the next month or so. This is very exciting to get this kind of feedback and support from the community. I knew this was going to be a great project and really and truly a labor of love. My two passions being music and film and I get to create a space to fulfill both those passions and then some. And I get a blank canvas to create and program incredible artists and performers for a willing audience. How great is that?

More to come!
