Talent Buyer Doug Kelley On The Evolution of the Bug Jar

This is the final episode of our first season, and it feels fitting to close things out with a conversation about the place that’s been at the center of Rochester’s music scene for decades: the Bug Jar. We sat down with Doug Kelley, the talent buyer who’s been booking bands and holding it all together, to talk about what it really takes to keep a venue alive—and why it still matters.We get into the past and present of the scene, what’s working, and what needs to change (hint: more all-ages shows). Thanks for listening, sharing, and being part of it. We’ll see you next season.Mentioned in this episode:Joe Bean RoastersUse promo code Lunchador for 15% off your order! https://shop.joebeanroasters.com
