One fun aspect of this series is that you can literally get your head in the game\u2014so to speak. All Season Pass holders send in their headshots, and they will be placed in seats. Blue Rock will also provide a private forum, a hangout\u2014all summer long, for people to talk with artists and talk with others who are part of their community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We talked with Blue Rock\u2019s Billy Crockett to find out more about this unique concert series:<\/strong> \u201cThings have changed in the culture of artists and performing venues. It seemed like we were tailor-made for a concert series. A lot of artists are broadcasting from their kitchen, but not many are doing it from venues. We have experience doing the broadcasts, and our audience feels we are good at it. We can do a broadcast and leave it setup for the next performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have tried to come up with ways that our community will also feel like they are really a part of it. The artists\u2019 fans can be engaged and charmed by our approach. The artist is going to perform on stage for over an hour, every Thursday night this summer, and it\u2019s going to be spiked with a couple of things. One of the ways we are going to do something fun and have our audience look forward to this is that everybody who buys a Season Pass\u2014they send us their headshot, and we print it and put it in a chair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19622\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Blue-Rock-aLive-2-Faces.jpg\" alt=\"Faces\" width=\"660\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Blue-Rock-aLive-2-Faces.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Blue-Rock-aLive-2-Faces-300x97.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With these headshots, all the Season Pass holders will literally be sitting in the room.
