DAVENPORT, IA – Visit Quad Cities, the official destination management and marketing organization for the QC, has partnered with The Echo, a brand-new online music publication, to expand its digital platform experience and to continue to serve as an important community resource.
By implementing a shared calendar, the two organizations are making it easier for Quad Citizens and visitors to find live music experiences in the region.
“Partnering with The Echo is another way to add depth and create value for the Quad Cities regional destination,” said Dave Herrell, President and CEO, Visit Quad Cities. “Our vision is aligned with River Music Experience’s (RME) to community build, drive activation, and increase brand identity to develop a stronger QC product experience and place. Visit Quad Cities is the keeper of the community’s most comprehensive event calendar so collaborating and integrating The Echo makes great sense.”
The Echo is a new, digital music publication showcasing how music is an integral part of the cultural identity of the Quad Cities. Using contributing writers from the QC, the content featured throughout this new publication will highlight events, artists, promoters, sound engineers, and more happening as part of the music scene in our community.
“We are very excited about the possibilities surrounding The Echo, especially the shared community calendar,” said Tyson Danner, Executive Director, River Music Experience (RME). “Having an all-encompassing publication like this is going to be huge for our music scene and our community overall.”
The RME serves and supports the entire Quad Cities music scene through its music camps for youth, lessons, events aimed to engage the community with music, and the well-known Redstone Room, which hosts live music.
The Echo project is largely funded by the Regional Development Authority and the River Music Experience in an effort to make the Quad Cities a more inclusive, vibrant region.
