It Takes an Audience to Raise a Musician
"It takes an audience to raise a musician," notes Portland, OR songwriter Ellen Whyte. And creating the opportunity to reach out to new fans takes a fresh approach. A "second season" may be the answer.
Portland, OR, November 11, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Second Season Productions is the brainchild of Ellen Whyte and John Mullin. It all started about 8 years ago at an outdoor concert on a warm summer evening for about 150 people in West Linn, Oregon. Ellen and her band at that time were performing all original music. The audience was loving it--hanging on every lyric sung and every note played. There was a special magical connection that Ellen had with this audience. While this had happened before and since, something clicked that night.
John and Ellen talked after the show and continued the discussion over the years about the idea of Portland having a concert series called, "Second Season Concerts." The idea is to capture the attention of a demographic that enjoys a variety of styles of music, some of whom don’t get out to hear live music very often.

How then to connect the love of music with a passion for performing? Organizing this kind of a concert series with the artists who have paid their dues and want to share what they have learned with new fans is what's in the works.
Here's the thing though: We can't do it without you. We need your help to make it happen. We have a plethora of wonderful perks available, so please join us in bringing Second Season Second Sunday's to life.
