How do you grow a local music scene? That’s the question Eric Gilbert with Duck Club Entertainment has been trying to answer for the last dozen years. He joins guest host Nick Quah to talk about how the company has gone from a small, DIY crew to owning two venues and operating two festivals each year. 

Thinking of attending Treefort Music Fest this year? Heads-up that ticket prices are going up on Friday, March 1
