Schuylkill Musicians: September 2014
To date the Schuylkill County Musicians Group has featured close to 20 bands from the area. Featured bands/artists aren't chosen on a whim or are we paid by bands to be featured (as some people have accused of happening) We contact bands and ask bands that would like to be featured. We then look at the band and see its talent and history. Fortunately, We have not had to turn a band down to be a feature. We've had a few bands drag their feet getting us information but at the end of the day the one common factor is that Schuylkill County musicians are filled with talent, history and much more. Our features aren't just for Facebook, you can also read any of these features on our website (https://sites.google.com/site/schuylkillmusicians).
