And it just ended up working this time. Like a lot of things, it's just a timing thing. |
I know they're interested in putting their name out there in a bigger way and they thought the affiliation with the festival was a good way to do that. |
I'm sure many people will get excited by it. |
It's definitely a different show for the June lineup. We're in a place now where we've really broadened our programming enough to where it was possible to take a shot at [Anastasio]. We want the June Festival to be relevant for a young audience also. |
It's not a cheap festival, whether it's the talent or the infrastructure. We feel very fortunate to be able to bring on a partner like this. And it's very good for anybody in our community who feels that the jazz festival is a positive asset. |
We thought it was going to be hard to do it with somebody who had never been there before. |
