Blue Ridge Jamboree features up-and-coming young artists

We're buzzing about the Blue Ridge Jamboree: ON THE RISE showcase of up and coming musical talent on Nov. 2 at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Va. The event is being hosted by the nonprofit Friends of the Blue Ridge, and Buzz4Good is proud to be the presenting sponsor. Today, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill talks to – and enjoys the music of – four of the acts: Addie Levy, a 21-year-old artist who now splits her time between her home in Radford and Nashville; A Mighty Friendly Mountain band, made up of the Hello siblings from Floyd County; aspiring Broadway performer Riley Parks, 14, from Roanoke; and another family band, Newfound Gap, from North Carolina.

Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.
