Or that they offer a Leadership Program, organize community fundraisers … all kinds of stuff. We hear from Brad Kolodner - IBMA Board member, Austin Scelzo – Momentum Award Winner to learn more. Mike and Liz haunt the late-night Rambles and Showcases where hand-picked bands show their stuff. They got to talk with – and hear songs by - The Midnight Run, Backline, and Unfaithful Servants.
