A religious music group formed by musicians from Northfield and Faribault will hold a public concert on the parking lot of St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Northfield on July 5th from 6 to 10 pm.
I met Roberto Ibanez over 9 months ago when he was looking for a place to record a solo disk. My neighbor Craig Wasner, happens to have a state-of-the art recording studio and was willing to donate his time to support this new entrepreneur. What came out of that process is a recorded disk that Roberto (Charlie) will have available at the concert on July 5th.
Roberto is not in this alone, he plays with other musicians from Northfield, and his group joined another group from Faribault recently as a way to put together the outdoor concert and introduce themselves to the wider community. I was invited to visit their rehearsing room at the Catholic church in Faribault last week, I took some pictures and recorded one of the songs that they were rehearsing.
Despite my inexperience with supporting artists, we are doing what we do for every entrepreneur, getting the word out about their work, helping them envision their business within a larger market context and supporting their business planning process to reduce their risks and increase their chances of success, those elements apply to all enterprises so we are happy to be part of this experience with this group.
On the base is B.To Ibanez (Charlie), B for Beto, Beto for Roberto.
Not pictured: Oscar, Camen, Jose Luis and Miguel who play different instruments and will be at the concert on July 5th.
Here is also a short digital video that I took while visiting and that they gave me permision to post.
