Episode 49
COME TOGETHER WITH JIM ATTEBERY
If you’re interested in getting into the film and TV portion of the music business, this episode is for you. It’s always been fascinating to us to find out an idea has grown so large in its impact from the origins of where they got started. Today we get to do just that with the origin story of how the Durango Expo started with Jim Attebery. This is definitely a man who has seen a lot of changes in a business that is ever growing at a rapid pace. We were so grateful to sit down with Jim Attebery and hear the journey he has taken in the music business and how he found his own path.
Weekly Music Non-Profit: Stillwater Music
Stillwater Music, formerly known as the Stillwater Foundation, has been providing the area with a way to engage in the musical arts for over a decade. Founders, Terri and Tony Gasaway, created Stillwater to be the home for the local youth and adults, regardless of disabilities or disadvantages, to participate in developing their skills in the arts. Stillwater operates on the belief that every child should engage in the musical arts to build character, develop discipline, build self-confidence and create lifelong teamwork skills. Through generous donations from Durango and the surrounding areas, Stillwater Music will push to educate generations to come. Learn more at stillwatermusic.org
