Facebook cohosting has been how Peoria Music Live collects and shares events from the very beginning. A lot has changed since then, from the way people use the internet to the technology available to us.
I chose that system for a lot of important reasons, and it worked better than I could have imagined! PML has grown tremendously since then, and we now have the tools to expand beyond it.
So, we’re evolving too.
You can now find upcoming live music all in one place at PeoriaMusicLive.com/events, and musicians and venues now have THREE ways to make sure their shows get there:
🎶Create a FB Event + add PML as a cohost — ALWAYS FREE.
Your show gets added to the website, PLUS you get the promotional perks of connecting your event to PML’s 25,000+ Facebook followers and making it easy for us to share and promote.
🎶Submit your show through our new form — ALWAYS FREE.
No Facebook Event? No problem. Send us the info, and eligible live music events will be added to our website listings.
🎶Have PML create the FB Event for you — $5/event or $20/month for artists.
You send us the info, we do the work, and you get the same promotional perks as cohosting. Venue packages are available too.
The goal hasn’t changed since I started PML in 2017: get people off their couches and out into the community by making it easier for people to find live music in the Peoria area, as wel as helping our local music community get seen. We’re creating more ways to do it.
I’ve had some great conversations over the last week with people who understand what we’re trying to do for the community and have shared thoughtful ideas about how PML can keep evolving. I genuinely appreciate those conversations. After nine years, I’m still learning, listening, and looking for ways to make PML better for everyone.
Other things will be changing too… keep your eyes open!
