Measurable Outcome(s)

Centerstage MN began the year as a 1-hour daily show and became a 2-hour show produced weekly, with 2 additional modules produced each week about MN music and musicians. In addition to the show, we held one very successful CSMN concert with MN bands Sonny Knight and the Lakers and Fattenin’ Frogs.

Of the stories posted to Facebook from CSMN, the most impressions were for Charlie Parr, at 977 (Charlie also had the most impressions in last year’s report!) Also notable were Useful Jenkins (918), Barbara Jean (768), Corey Medina (558) and Bemidji musician Shannon Murray (427).
