“MVAN is an asset to venues like Drkmttr. Without the support of MVAN we wouldn’t have the same relationships with other local venues, music industry professionals and city leaders. That type of community building is vital to the survival of independent music venues. We need to be collaborating and strengthening our bonds to get our basic needs met. MVAN makes it possible and gives us all a roadmap for longevity. ”
