"In A Love Letter to Music Listings, the Portland composer lamented the nationwide loss of weekly music listings, which impeded his search for entertainment during a brief return to the city where he lived for two decades before moving to Oregon, and which helped ignite his own career there. He also supplies a useful recent history of the significance of such stories and the reasons for and impact of their decline in NYC, and suggests some possible solutions."
"Kahane's story prompted an equally fascinating rejoinder from arts administrator, author, researcher and professor Hannah Grannemann, a former theater director who now teaches at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. "Hey, ArtsWatch readers and artists- any ideas for how we might take on the challenge posed by these articles here in Oregon? Please reply in comments below, or send them, and any other news of Oregon music you think our readers might enjoy, to music@orartswatch.org.""
The nationwide disappearance of weekly music listings has hindered people’s ability to find live entertainment and removed an important platform that helped launch artists' careers. A recent retrospective traces the significance of such listings, explains causes and consequences of their decline in major cities, and proposes possible remedies. A rejoinder urged local arts communities to generate solutions and encouraged public input and outreach. Suggestions include using sponsored advertising and other promotional strategies to expand reach. A Portland music festival, Sounds Like Portland, is introduced under the Oregon Symphony umbrella as part of local programming efforts.
