Exciting Times Ahead for Savannah’s Music Scene!
Hey there, Savannah! There’s some buzzing news in our charming city that music lovers won’t want to miss. Mary Dugas, a well-respected name in the music industry, has her sights set on bringing together our talented musicians through a fantastic new initiative called the Savannah Music Collective. With a career that’s as vibrant as the music she champions, Mary is dedicated to creating a harmonious community right here in Savannah.
A Journey Through Music
Mary knows the ins and outs of the music business like the back of her hand. Her impressive journey includes pivotal roles such as being a part of the Management Team for the renowned Gregg Allman Estate, and she notably served as the Director of Operations and Artist Management for Brown Cat, Inc./Widespread Panic based in Athens, Georgia. Now, as the Chair of the Savannah Music Festival’s Board of Directors, she’s set her sights on something even bigger: uniting our local music scene!
The Vision of the Savannah Music Collective
Mary’s vision for the Savannah Music Collective is all about collaboration and support among artists. “The concept of uniting the entire Savannah music community for collaboration, professional development, and artist support is fantastic,” she shares, her enthusiasm contagious. “I’m excited to create an environment where everyone is welcome and we can unlock the full potential of local talent to create a thriving music scene for all of Savannah to enjoy.”
What a thrilling prospect! The idea is to create a space where musicians can come together, share their experiences, and help each other grow, not just as artists but as a community. Imagine the potential: local bands working together, artists sharing insights, and perhaps even some spontaneous jam sessions right on our very own streets!
Why Now?
So, why is this initiative so important right now? Mary believes that Savannah’s music scene is brimming with talent, but it often lacks the infrastructure and community support that larger cities enjoy. By creating the Savannah Music Collective, she aims to lift the local music scene to new heights, showcasing Savannah’s rich musical culture and potentially drawing attention from beyond our borders.
“The goal,” Mary explains, “is not just to support artists individually but to put Savannah’s music on the map. We have so much to offer, and working together is the key to making our music scene shine!”
Food and Music: A Perfect Pair
When we had a chance to chat with Mary, she didn’t just share insight on the music scene; she also opened up about her favorite spots to grab a bite in and around Savannah. After all, what better way to talk about music than over a delicious meal? Whether it’s a cozy café or a lively restaurant, Mary has some local favorites that keep her inspired and energized.
“Food and music go hand in hand,” she says, chuckling as she lists off her go-to eateries. It’s no secret that Savannah is known for its fantastic culinary scene, and Mary’s recommendations are sure to keep any foodie happy.
Looking Ahead
As the Savannah Music Collective gears up, the excitement in the air is palpable. For musicians and music lovers alike, this is an opportunity to rekindle the sense of community that makes Savannah so special. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just someone who loves to listen, there’s a place for you in this new initiative. Who knows what talented musicians might be lurking around the corner, just waiting for a chance to shine?
So, here’s to new beginnings and a bright future for Savannah’s music scene! Keep your ears open and be ready to embrace the magic that’s sure to unfold as Mary Dugas works her magic.
