That would be so cool to have the IBMA move here. Let's do it!
Thank you Marianne for booking the best acts. Every time I get excited because my favorite bluegrass / newgrass / singer-songwriter / Americana act is in town, it's because you brought them here.
It's so great that Durham is recognized as a food town. My faves are Watts Grocery, Rue Cler, and Thai Cafe.
Music in Durham is a good thing regardless. I hope they can pull from national touring club-sized acts.
