For some of us, boosting Lawrence’s music scene — especially this time of year — involves looking for our symphonic version of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” But these days, some local music leaders are looking to make even more noise than that.
I had a chance to sit down with two of the larger music promoters in Lawrence recently, and it became clear that they hope to start a conversation ...
In some ways, it makes sense that a business based in Columbia, Mo. is coming to Lawrence to clean our vehicles.
