Tupelo Music Hall to Re-open doors under expanded model and joint venture
White River Junction, Vermont - In response to overwhelming public response following the August 4 closing of Tupelo Music Hall in White River Junction, Vt, a new joint venture has formed between Scott Hayward, Owner of Tupelo Music Hall, and Mike Davidson, local White River Junction businessman and owner of The Freight House in White River Junction, where the music hall is located.
“Our goal is and has always been to present live music in the Upper Valley” said Hayward. “I am thrilled to announce that this will continue through a new joint venture between me and Mike Davidson. Mike and I are both seasoned entrepreneurs who are invested in the Upper Valley. Mike is an avid supporter of the arts and will give us some much needed local business acumen. This is going to be great.”
Known for their signature sound system and outstanding acoustics, Tupelo will continue to offer large National acts in a warm, intimate setting. The business, however, will be expanded to attract a bigger audience. “If we are to stay in the Upper Valley, our model needs to be different from our New Hampshire venue in Londonderry. The New Hampshire music hall almost exclusively caters to National touring artists. In Vermont, we have promoted some local and regional live bands with very good success. We have also had some DJ dance nights that were a lot of fun. I hope our expanded calendar will give patrons many different reasons to come to an event at Tupelo.” The new venture also adds some catering to the mix. “Mike and I strongly feel that some sort of food and beverage component needs to be part of our plan. Many people have asked about getting small food items at the venue.”
The doors are scheduled to reopen in September, with a full schedule slated for October, which is coincidentally the two-year anniversary for the music hall. For tickets and information please visit www.tupelohall.com or call 802-698-8341
