What does it take to build a thriving local music scene? What happens when people decide to create the community they want to be part of?In the first Common Ground bonus episode, I meet the people bringing live music and new energy to Geneva, New York.I talked with Lindsay and Ella of Seneca Sounds about organizing a grassroots music festival, creating spaces for connection, and making things happen in a small city. Then, John Manion of Ponte Collective reflects on Geneva's musical history, the legacy of Whale Watch, and his vision for keeping local music culture alive.Together, their stories explore what it means to build something from the ground up and why a thriving community doesn't just happen. People make it happen.
