Artists from every discipline and every walk of life appreciate the chance to have a space where their craft can be experienced and hopefully appreciated.
Hi, I'm JD Eicher, and as an artist I get great satisfaction knowing that I have a space to showcase what I feel called to do, which is to create music.
And it's why you, the members, listeners, and viewers, are so important to artists like me.
Your contribution and your interest in being part of non-commercial public broadcasters like PBS Western Reserve and The Summit FM means that you support the arts, and that's incredible.
It also means that you want local artists and local musicians to continue to have a space to unveil what they do musically and artistically.
And I'm so grateful for you and for your support, thank you.
Alright, now let's get back to some more of this episode of "Studio C Sessions" on PBS Western Reserve.
