Скачать или смотреть Keys to Success in Business- Jim Faherty, Iconic Music Promoter

Few figures are as foundational to Orlando's music scene as Jim Faherty. From 1985 to 2001, he essentially laid the groundwork to make Orlando a destination on the national indie-rock touring circuit with his concert promotion company, Figurehead. By booking the likes of Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Jonathan Richman and countless others, Faherty became the godfather of our indie scene, and Orlando would likely be a cultural backwater without his work, passion and personality.

As a city of tourists and transients, it's been said that Orlando has no sense of history. Any active local can tell you what a shame that is. It's especially unfortunate for Orlando's underground music scene, which has more creativity, depth and edge than most realize, locals included. Spotlighting that, in case you hadn't noticed, is one of the raisons d'être for this column.

Well, in Faherty's very notable case, downtown's Orange County Regional History Center is about to make a momentous step in rectifying that with new exhibition Figurehead: Music & Mayhem in Orlando's Underground.
