"During its concert season from May to October, the Mountain Winery invited students from several South Bay schools to events. On Oct. 18, students from De Anza College in Cupertino, Santa Clara University and University of Silicon Valley in San Jose gathered in the winery's lounge to hear from professionals in the live entertainment and movie industry, including representatives from AEG Presents and Goldenvoice and actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton."
"All of us have come from completely different backgrounds, but the thing that we all share is that at some point along the way, we found a love for music and we wanted to channel that into a career and a path, and this can be an incredibly competitive industry that's hard to just access, Daly told the students. It's something that matters to me, so if we can provide an outlet and an opportunity for you guys, that matters a lot."
