Once upon a time… (like, last month)
Two musicians, Lynne Welden and Lon Eldridge, were just at the finish line for their projects.
One album just needed to be pressed into CDs.
The other just needed to be mixed and mastered.
So they applied for a Producer’s Fund Grant.
And after review… we couldn’t choose.
It was a tie!
So naturally… we turned them into paper puppets to make the announcement (sorry, not sorry).
Congratulations to Lynne and Lon 🎉
We’re so proud of you both!.
SoundCorps exists to make music happen in Chattanooga. And, with people like Lynne and Lon, Chattanooga music just keeps getting better!
Next grant round opens May 1
