Speaker 1: quite a bit before doing the program here. And you're
Speaker 1: a cool dude. You got a lot of fun stuff
Speaker 1: that you're working on. You got I wish I had
Speaker 1: your energy. Man, I'm an old guy. He's a young buck.
Speaker 1: He's out there doing all kinds of stuff. You've got
Speaker 1: a ribbon cutting today we do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are officially joining the Greater Sioux Falls Area
Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce and they have been gracious enough to
Speaker 2: give us a little bit of coverage with a great
Speaker 2: ribbon cutting ceremony and an introduction. Hi, Hello, from the
Speaker 2: Scene and from DBS Entertainment to the Sioux Falls area.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about those two different things. Because the
Speaker 1: Scene is a podcast and it's a program, a whole
Speaker 1: network of things. So let's talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 2: It really is. So we really the Scene Projects is
Speaker 2: meant to be a community more than anything. We're a
Speaker 2: community of content creators, not unlike yourself, John, So we're
Speaker 2: exactly why we get along so well. What we're trying
Speaker 2: to do is just empower other creators to kind of
Speaker 2: enter into the you know, the broadcasting world and using
Speaker 2: the podcast format to do that. So really just trying
Speaker 2: to get as many people into the community, artists, comedians,
Speaker 2: songwriters mostly and that's kind of the seed we say,
Speaker 2: is our songwriter showcase. So we'll be a host right now,
Speaker 2: that's just me, but a host with a songwriter on stage,
Speaker 2: a little get to know you and then play in
Speaker 2: some of your songs, we hit record, we capture the
Speaker 2: whole night, and then we post it on the backside
Speaker 2: on our programming every week and using that to not
Speaker 2: only drive awareness for our songwriters and things, but to
Speaker 2: really just help get the word out there about some
Speaker 2: of these amazing venues that are out across the Midwest
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and again the ribbon cutting is today. What time
Speaker 1: does it start?
Speaker 2: It starts at eleven thirty am. That'll be at Startup
Speaker 2: Sioux Falls right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Speaker 1: That's right down by the Levitt. And you've been involved
Speaker 1: in several things down here this summer.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I have. We actually did a music
Speaker 2: maker mixer series at Startup with the Levitt Sioux Falls,
Speaker 2: and then we opened for Armchair Boogie this year at
Speaker 2: the Levitt on the stage. And yeah, they're right in
Speaker 2: the same parking lot. They're both doing a ton of
Speaker 2: stuff to help not just musicians, but entrepreneurs and people
Speaker 2: that are starting their own businesses and Startupsoux Falls has
Speaker 2: been a great incubator for myself because it gives me
Speaker 2: an office space in downtown Sioux Falls. As you know,
Speaker 2: I live kind of you know, out in farm country
Speaker 2: an hour or more outside of Sioux Falls. But this
Speaker 2: is the area where the people are and where my
Speaker 2: so To have an office space for fifty dollars a
Speaker 2: month that has all of the amenities built into it
Speaker 2: incredibly valuable to me.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now today is the ribbon cutting, but tomorrow, if
Speaker 1: people want to party, tomorrow is a good chance for that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what you have going on Saturday. Night.
Speaker 2: Well, what we have Saturday night is our big introduction
Speaker 2: into the concert promotion world here in Sioux Falls. Our
Speaker 2: friends from Oregon Free Creatures are coming and playing at
Speaker 2: the Den, which is at nine oh nine West Avenue.
Speaker 2: It's out there by the Denny Sandford Premiere Center, which
Speaker 2: I know you're familiar with because you are just there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: watching some rock and roll legends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a chance to see The Sticks and
Speaker 1: Foreigner and John Waite and then you were performing before
Speaker 1: and after that at the Den.
Speaker 2: I did. So that's what the Den is becoming known
Speaker 2: for is kind of your pregame and post game for
Speaker 2: these big shows that are at the Denny. And I
Speaker 2: really enjoy being in that environment because it's just everybody's
Speaker 2: having a good time, right And yeah, there's four hours
Speaker 2: to kill in there where everybody's at the show and
Speaker 2: you're hanging out waiting. But I think it was really
Speaker 2: fun and everybody coming back and coming through and just
Speaker 2: being able to have a real good time with everybody
Speaker 2: for that last ninety minutes of the evening was really
Speaker 2: a blessing. And I think that's going to be a while.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a big part of what the
Speaker 2: Den is I think we're really capable of doing a
Speaker 2: lot more at this venue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got to show there tomorrow night so
Speaker 1: people can see that Saturday night. But then, is this
Speaker 1: something you do every Thursday? The songwriter of it?
Speaker 2: The songwriter showcases every Thursday, it'll also be at the Den.
Speaker 2: So we're really putting in deep roots here at this venue.
Speaker 2: It's an older building, right, It's been there for a
Speaker 2: little while under a couple of different names, but they
Speaker 2: have a great space. They built an amazing stage, a
Speaker 2: killer sound system, and we just want to help get
Speaker 2: the word out about it and get more and more
Speaker 2: people into the building. So that's the Den at nine
Speaker 2: oh nine West Avenue, right here in Sioux Falls, and
Speaker 2: let us be live music headquarters.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's cool and I've been there a
Speaker 1: few times and again excited for tomorrow night. I think
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot of fun. And then every Thursday,
Speaker 1: what time does a songwriter events start? On Thursday?
Speaker 2: We're going to start the songwriter events at seven pm.
Speaker 2: And right now it's just an hour long show, but
Speaker 2: we're entertaining the idea of maybe having more than one
Speaker 2: songwriter a night. And lengthening the show a little bit
Speaker 2: so we can make a whole evening out of it.
Speaker 1: That's very cool. If people would like to hear the
Speaker 1: program that you do, because again you're recording podcasts. If
Speaker 1: they would like to hear that, where do they go
