In its inaugural year, this nonprofit articulated — consistently and with engaging imagery — why Nebraska's culture is worth discovering and supporting. 

 

Through the work of only volunteer contributors, we produced more than 750 original music stories — including videos, audio interviews, photos essays, previews and reviews. We brought Nebraska music to a global TV audience, created an entirely locally produced compilation album, curated more than a dozen concerts and provided on-the-job experience for more than 10 interns.

 

We did all this with very little financial support. But we need your help now to continue doing this work, and to be even more effective in year two in our mission to "document, cultivate and broadcast the state's vibrant, fertile music and arts community, striving to make Nebraska a globally recognized cultural destination."

Thanks so much to Omaha's The Wayward Little Satan Daughters, who add some energy to this message with their song "Prodigal Daughter."
