We really appreciate your hospitality, and also what you've accomplished in building up such a terrific place for live music. That's our absolute favorite sort of show, and we've played just about every kind of stage over the last several years. It is a real accomplishment on the part of the ACMA to be able to fill a room that way. We've had the opportunity to watch listening rooms develop in other places (including our hometown Fogartyville Cafe).
We know something about the work it takes, and the patience. It is a real service to your community, not to mention what it means for musicians like us. ~PasserineINTERESTED IN PLAYING AT ACMA LISTENING ROOM?
