Nevada, and Vernon County music scene
Well we are back! After the Holiday gap, we are back! By we.... we, I, you,.... whomever..... The Local Ear is back! What does that mean? We I think you know what that means. Stuff starts happening. BIG NEWS IN 2016, the YEAR of the MONKEY!!!!! 10 year anniversary of the re-lease of the "Monkey Song" and more important the "Local Ear" compilation album "Bands from the Back 40". So much to celebrate this year, get READY! READY! READY! READY!
Where it began and where it will end are left to the unknown. Lunch With Doug has been on an official viral internet outbreak since March 23, 2017, but the roots are planted much deeper. Doug Harper began making videos of his band and their adventures in 1996 and later building on that by promoting a then non-existent local music scene in his hometown of Nevada, Missouri. The Local Ear Underground Entertainment Guide began simply because no mainstream coverage of local music was happening. The live music boom of the 60s, 70's and early 80's had since crashed regionally and something new was on the horizon. A printed fan-zine was created but with the power of the internet it became obvious that to get to the masses it was going to take more technology and less paper. Much later.... Lunch With Doug was officially born on March 23, 2017 as a re-entry into the hearts of the community after internet trends changed and the music industry crashed. This time it was about more than just music but with a heart for the arts.
