Fresh Produce takes music producers out of the background and into the spotlight

2 years 6 months ago

Most fans don't consider the team of people working behind the scenes to make the music radio-ready — especially those who produce, mix, and master the audio. Music producers are integral to the music-making process. In this encore episode, producer Miya Norfleet explores the Fresh Produce Champions Battle and sits down with emcees, judges, and participants of the competition.

Review: Finale Is a Pleasing Historic Romp About Opera’s Rossini

2 years 6 months ago
In its world premiere at the West End Players Guild (733 Union Boulevard, westendplayers.org), the romantic and musically inclined Finale gives audiences an intimate glimpse into the predilections, proclivities and genius of famed operatic composer Gioachino Rossini.

New Pickleball Courts Unveiled With Ribbon-Cutting At Wood River's East End Park

2 years 6 months ago
WOOD RIVER - Wood River’s East End Park on 14th Street officially unveiled a new set of pickleball courts to the public with a ribbon-cutting ceremony late last month. Jason Woody, director of the Wood River Parks and Recreation Department, said this and other park upgrades have been in the works for about a year and a half. “For years, the Parks and Rec Board and us, we’ve been trying to figure out how to get some pickleball courts. It’s not really something we have in this immediate area … and I’m glad we were able to come up with this location,” Woody said, noting its proximity to highways 255 and 143. Woody said the project was partially funded by the Parks and Recreation Department, as well as a Madison County Park Enhancement Program (PEP) grant of $28,000. “I think people are pumped - I mean, we’ve already heard from a lot of people, there’s already been people playing on it,” he said. “I think
