Episode 23 - Kirby Wirchenko
Kirby Wirchenko used to play club shows in Saskatoon's nascent 90's club scene. Flash forward to 2016 and he's the Executive and Artistic Director of the community-owned Broadway Theatre. We chat about what led him to be a venue director and concert promoter, and the dynamic of promoting live performances in an increasingly digital music landscape. You can catch Kirby MC'ing at August's Regina Folk Festival and keep an eye out on the 2nd Annual Winterruption, which the Broadway co-produces with RFF, in January.
