July 31: Face to Face – An Up-Close Concert by Rae Hering

Rae Hering Face to Face

I may joke at shows that my favorite social media platform is Face to Face, but I do really mean it. And judging by the audience reaction, it sounds like people agree.

We all know that the definition of Community has vastly changed over the last 20 years. As a musician I can attest to the wonders of the Internet for making my indie music career possible – how amazing is that?!? But I’ve also realized that my Virtual Community has weak legs to stand on without my Face to Face Community.

Face to Face: An Up-Close Concert by Rae Hering will take place Friday, July 31 at South by Sea Studio, 1313 Jewell St., 37207. For more information, or to RSVP to this FREE event, please visit the show’s Facebook and Bandsintown pages.
