In this episode of the show we steer away from the typical format and sit down with Kathryn Edwards and Olivia Scibelli to discuss the history of their venue DRKMTTR; a DIY-centric, all-ages aware, community focused space.
We cover the seeds of its inception at The Other Basement to the current permanent space now in a soft open at 1111 Dickerson Pike. Beyond just the hardships of opening and maintaining a venue, we talk about struggles with gentrification, the difficulty of being in a band (touring or otherwise) and keeping a sustained focus on being a supportive part of a community.
