This photo of the crowd dancing to music by JammSammich, was taken by Gary Shaine Horrie (of Revel in Red) at Mackinaw Valley Winery last weekend. When he showed it to me, I had to share it… it was much better than the ones I captured of the crowd. I think I was standing too close… do you see me? Hint: I’m on a step stool taking photos.

The feeling I had walking into Kenny’s Westside Pub Friday night was something I didn’t expect, and also something I desperately needed: it was a break. It was like walking into the Summer of 2019.

I visited the beer garden at Industry Brewing last weekend and it was awesome! Two levels, in full view of the stage, axe throwing, an outdoor bar, and plenty of room to have a great time! (I might have scared a couple people by standing on my step-stool on the upper level to get this shot.)

Live Music Will Survive, But Also Evolve... Will Artists?

January 19, 2021 Kindall Reuschel (Nelson)
Barry Cloyd was one of our first livestreamers. Instead of being intimidated by the technology, he asked for some help and we met him at Widecast Studios to do a livestream there. December 11, 2020

The business of music is something has constantly changed over time. Often it’s technology that brings change. This time it was a pandemic that forced us to use the technology we already had in new and different ways. If we’ve learned anything from past metamorphoses of the music industry, it’s that some things will always stay the same, but the new things never disappear.

What is really important to me right now is that musicians understand that not only is livestreaming not going away, but it is and will continue to be a viable piece of the business plan for artists who want to make a living as a musician.

Artists Who Aren't Livestreaming May Be Missing Crucial Opportunities

Matt Eckberg, Emilele, and Brian Neumann were the first three to take PML up on the offer to go live on our Facebook page! We’re continuing to schedule artists who are interested in live streaming with Peoria Music Live.

Some artists are still entertaining fans through livestreaming and some are waiting things out. I have said not livestreaming means fans are being left on the couch and money is being left in pockets now, but also a future revenue stream is likely being cut off for those artists. The sooner artists & bands become comfortable with live streaming, the better. Here I talk about why I say this and also give some tips for making livestreams profitable.

Over my time at Bradley, I’ve seen artist Harland Reid become something of a cult figure in the music scene. Through his music, his art, and his remarkable personality, Harland has become one of the most recognizable figures in the Bradley music world. This local notoriety struck me as making him the perfect subject for my first installment of this series.

I’ve never really reviewed a local venue before. And, let’s be honest, I have a hard time saying anything negative about a place that supports the Peoria area live music scene! But I thought more people needed to know about Mack’s, and this is the best way to make that happen!
