Enter the world of musicians on the cusp – of stardom, of reaching the next level, of bottoming out, of personal disaster. This improvised narrative journey follows characters as they realize how high the stakes are when they strive for fame – or infamy – in the music industry.
About the show:
Buzz Band takes place in the pre-internet era -- a time when the recording industry was at its peak. Stakes are high, agents are on the prowl, deals are being made, and everything is on the line. We will explore how these stakes affect relationships among band members, industry people (i.e. critics, booking agents, venue owners, record executives), romantic partners, family members, fans, and more.
