One of our recent alums, Gabe Simon, is a member of the Kopecky Family Band.
The key to their business model, which Gabe worked on in our program, is to build a strong, loyal following that has a sense of community with the band. A key aspect of delivering that value is through live performance.
I ran into Gabe yesterday at Bongo Java (my favorite local coffee shop). It seems they are executing on their business model. Paste Magazine named them as 18th on the 25 Best Live Acts of 2011.
Check out “Howlin’ at the Moon” in the clip below (Gabe is singing the lead in this song):
