The wild & woolly bunch (looking chill) at the 2019 COMBO Holiday Dinner!
We had a wonderful time at the COMBO Holiday Party at Bar Louie Centennial! The restaurant was really nice, the staff was super, and the food was really good. Herre’s a photo of some of the attendees who were good sports about getting their picture taken! (Photo by our server Brittney with the courtesy of David Barber’s great camera!)

2019-2020 COMBO Board Members are: Barb Dye, Lee Bagby, David Barber, Annette Cannon, Tracey Chirhart, Clark Hagan, Johnnie Johnson, Jamie Krutz, Sheena Morgan, and Angela Whaley. We sadly say, “We love you and will miss you LOTS — Mark King and Terry Minggia” who left for other music and/or arts-related projects.

COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to teach musicians about the ins & outs of the music industry. We, as such, do not “promote” music but we do! In other words, we are not promoters like Live Nation or AEG but rather the behind-the-scenes people who help musicians to advance their careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere.
