Saturday, August 1, Larry Groce, Todd Burge, and Jess Baldwin will perform from the stage of the Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta as a part of the theatre’s 100 Days for 100 Years Fundraising campaign. The stream starts at 8 p.m. EDT at this link and is entirely free, although donations are encouraged.
WOUB’s Emily Votaw spoke to Larry Groce, the longtime radio host and artistic director of West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s Mountain Stage (as well as a 2020 inductee into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame) about the importance of supporting live music venues in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and how we can best ensure our favorite musicians make it to the other side of the pandemic as unscathed as possible, in the feature embedded above.
