HUNTSVILLE — It’s the last waltz of 2022 for the Huntsville Music Office’s HSV Quarterly Music Meetups, but it’s just an overture to the growing music scene coming to Huntsville in 2023.
Anyone interested in getting involved in Huntsville’s music economy should bring a song in their heart Tuesday to Fractal Brewing Project, 3200 Leeman Ferry Road. The meeting is 6-8 p.m. It is free to attend and concessions will be available for purchase.
Huntsville Music Officer Matt Mandrella and the Huntsville Music Board will be sharing information about the objectives for 2023. It is also a chance to network with music community stakeholders.
Since it is the first Quarterly Meetup since Mandrella announced Huntsville will host the 2023 Music Cities Convention next October, he predicts it will be centerstage at the event.
“This will solidify our efforts to become a major music city, and it’s a tremendous honor for us to host this global event,” Mandrella said. “There’s a lot of buzz about it in our music community, and I think there are a lot of people who are curious to know how they can be involved.
“I anticipate many of the conversations at Tuesday’s meetup will revolve how we can put our best foot forward.”
It will also be a wrap-up session for his first full year as music officer. Over the course of the year the Huntsville Music Office has launched its online presence, HuntsvilleMusic.com; hosted its first Huntsville Music Month in September; developed a monthly e-newsletter; and worked with community stakeholders to advance music education initiatives.
The city also debuted a comprehensive music and events calendar. Since its launch in August, about 750 music events have been added to the calendar.
“I’m proud that our music calendar is being embraced by not only our local musicians and venues, but also by the public,” Mandrella said. “I look forward an even bigger and better year in 2023.”
The HSV Quarterly Meetup is free to the public. Concessions will be available for purchase.
