In case you’re wondering, COMBO’s Board Members are Barb Dye (President), Dr. Annette Cannon (Vice-President), David Barber (Treasurer), Angela Whaley & Tracey Chirhart (acting secretaries), Lee Bagby (Featured Songs Editor), Sheena Morgan (Membership), Jamie Krutz (Barcode Admin.) and Members-at-Large Alex Teitz, Clark Hagan, and Johnnie Johnson. The board meets once a month, mostly via teleconference for convenience and due to the coronavirus. They plan our monthly programs, workshops, and other activities. During the summer months, we usually do fun things like events (Guitar Show), festivals (Juneteenth), and tours, so we’ve put our thinking caps on to keep everyone safe and healthy. Be sure to check out this month’s meeting on June 22nd at Events below! See YOU there!

COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to teach musicians about the ins & outs of the music industry. We offer guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto: Elevate Your Musical State!
