## Resource

We welcome Chuck Troutman, one of our area’s finest local music scene promoters. He shares the myriad of acts he has the fortune to advocate for in our local scene. Born in DC, Chuck found himself in Harrisonburg because this is where his mother ran out of bus fare. He found his way from being a passionate champion for the music community to being a trail maintainer for the Appalachian Trail. Chuck has some stories!
