  • Educators Summit PROGRAM
    Educators Summit PROGRAM – Chicago – 2017 March 31 - April 1 | Embassy Suites by Hilton – Chicago Downtown 2 MEIEA Welcome to the 2017 Music anD Entertainment InDustry EDucators Association Summit! I’m excited to welcome you to Chicago, the home of Deep Dish Pizza, the Second City Comedy ensemble and great music, especially the Blues. This is my last MEIEA Summit as your President and I know we’ve planned a terrific three days of events, speakers and valuable content you can bring back to your respective campuses. Since we are in a city so well-known for Chicago Blues, I thought it was only fitting to bring the Blues to the Summit. I’m excited to interview a long-time friend and ally, Bruce Iglauer, Founder and President of Alligator Records (although I think his title might just be “Boss”). Bruce started Alligator more than 45 years ago and his passion for the Blues is still evidenced by his unwavering support for his recording artists and their work, and his commitment that artists AND labels are paid fairly by new technology services. We will also hear from Jeff McClusky, a veteran of our industry who has been an incredibly successful radio promotion executive, which is only one of his many talents and services he provides to our industry. In addition to our keynote speakers, we have a superstar legal update panel, several other topical panels and roundtables and many great paper presentations. Last year, MEIEA started a Thursday briefing session and we will continue that innovation with a late afternoon session from our friends and sponsors at SoundExchange.

  • Grand Emporium Audiovisual Collection Finding Aid (PDF)
    Title of Collection: Grand Emporium Audiovisual Collection Reference Code: US-MoKcUMS-MSA38 Repository: Marr Sound Archives UMKC Miller Nichols Library 800 E. 51st Street Kansas City, MO 64110 Creator: Grand Emporium Naber, Roger Palmer, C. Herb Administrative/Biographical History: In 1979, Roger Naber started booking bands on the side while maintaining a day job for the postal service in Kansas City. Attracting marquee performers to local venues such as the Lone Star, the Uptown Theater, the National Guard Armory, Harling's Upstairs and King Henry's Feast (later known as Parody Hall), he built a rapport with the music world and a reputation as a hardworking promoter. In 1980, he co-founded the Kansas City Blues Society, galvanizing the local music scene during twelve years as the organization's president. His tenacity made him one of Kansas City's most respected promoters, but it was his genuine affinity for musicians that brought success to places like the Grand Emporium. Naber and business partner George Myers bought the Grand Emporium in July 1985, transforming the erstwhile restaurant into a premier destination for live music. From show flyers doubling as wallpaper to a jukebox stocked with old 45s to the makeshift kitchen where "Amazing" Grace Harris served barbecue and soul food, the intimate midtown barroom offered common ground for patron and performer. It was here musicians walked the bar during a guitar solo or took the show outside to Main Street for a song; big name stars were known to drop by for a slice of local flavor after playing bigger, more impersonal area venues; and local legends, such as musician and dancer Speedy Huggins, were fixtures on the scene, cutting up the dance floor and sitting in with bands.
