Riverbend 2012 tileFans will have the opportunity to meet some of the musical acts booked for this year’s Riverbend Festival thanks to the Community Outreach Series.
In recent years the festival has enlisted the services of some of its scheduled artists to make extra appearances and, in some cases, perform mini or unplugged shows at various sites away from the festival site.
The three programs — Bend Unplugged, Artist of the Day and Bend on the Run — are free meet-and-greet opportunities that allow fans to get up close and personal with the artists in a relaxed setting.
These shows bring attention to the artists, the festival and the venues, according to Jeff Styles, festival assistant talent and production coordinator.
