The Music Man: My Middle of the Map Fest plans
May 4, 2016
This is some of the last music coverage I’m going to do for The Music Man and Mill Valley News, and I’ve decided to go out with something awesome. So, for the next few days, I’ll be covering Middle of the Map Fest in Kansas City, Missouri. (Cue the confetti drop.)
I won’t be out at the festival tonight, but I plan to be covering all the action in Westport on Thursday and in Crossroads Friday and Saturday. To prepare for that, you should totally follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat at @JCURT14 for some live coverage during the festival. I don’t have much else to say about the festival for now, but here’s who you can expect me to be seeing in the next few days, when and where.
