I serve as Marketing Director for Cat's Cradle, the legendary live music venue, established in Chapel Hill/Carrboro in 1969. Under the guidance of proprietor Frank Heath's unmatched stewardship, work ethic, and dedication to live music befitting his legendary venue, I help build and maintain promotional materials, communicate with artists and their hardworking booking and management teams, and do my best to help bring musicians and audiences together for the greatest show anyone has ever had – or seen. Be well, rock on!https://catscradle.com/events/
