Safe & Sound: 'Events Enabler' Helps Create Live Show Experiences In A Former Outlet Mall

Anna Ste. Marie, VPR
This week on 'Safe & Sound,' it's more music from Vermont and an interview with 'events enabler,' Tim Cece from The Essex Experience.

Safe & Sound is VPR's celebration of Vermont music and this week, we'll hear brand new music from REDAdmiral plus a 50-year-old nugget from The Thunderbolts.

Listen above to a conversation with Tim Cece from The Essex Experience. He tells us how he went from the Bernie Sanders campaign trail in March (he was an events coordinator) just as COVID-19 began to shut down large gatherings and how he used his skillset at the Essex Experience to help the venue serve up live and in-person performance experiences for patrons and fans of local music.

 

Also, read more about how a trio of teens in Stowe - who played in a band called The Thunderbolts - broke into the town's bell tower and caused some early rock-and-roll mischief, circa 1962.
