The Broad Steet Bash - Local vs. regional acts?
My story last week about the Broad Street Bash drew a lot of interesting comments, including the matter of what kinds of acts should play there.
Middletown’s downtown block party started out with local bands. Then, as the event got bigger, it drew more regional acts like The Menus, which drew really big crowds, and surely increased knowledge about the event.
This year the Bash is trying a bit of a mixed approach. The first bash, set for 6 p.m. May 19, has two local bands, Will Fluke and Three Feet Deep. Then, for the rest of the lineup it sticks with bands that have a more regional draw (although Stagger Lee, as I recall, does have local ties).
Is this what you want to see? Do you prefer regional acts or local acts? What bands would you like to see at the Bash that haven’t played there yet?
And here’s one more question: Why has this downtown event gained traction where others have not?
