It's been a while since this page has been active. Never really officially announced a 'farewell' show and still debating on closing this chapter in my life and putting this company to rest for good. LHB has met a lot of amazing, talented musicians throughout the years and has had a lot of help by countless people that wanted to make a difference in the music scene. No matter if we ended on good terms or not and chances are we don't speak today, I will always remember all of the people I met throughout this journey who gave a helping hand when they didn't have to, and I will never forget the bands that gave LHB a chance no matter if the show was successful or not.
This company was always supposed to be just for fun and the main goal was to always help those who wanted to share their musical talents to the public. Unfortunately, LHB became bigger then what I could handle and an emotional/mental break was definitely needed which is where I am at now.
Do I miss it? Of course. It took up over 5 years of my life with all of the time spent traveling back and forth, limited hours of sleep, and months after months of planning and networking with venues and people in the scene. I would be lying if I said I didn't have dreams of coming back to this, despite all of the drama and torture LHB was put through. There are positive, fun-filled memories that will always be kept in my heart and those are the thoughts that always bring me back here.
Since my last show back in 2017, a lot has tremendously changed. Venues have closed down, bands that I used to work with broke up, I've lost touch with so many people in the scene and some people have deleted me for it, I'm married now, I no longer live in New York, and now my little sister is getting married; which is why getting fully back into this may be a huge challenge for me.
Regardless on what happens with LHB in the future, it is official that I will be stepping foot back onto my old stomping grounds next year as my sister wants to spend her bachelorette party down in Atlantic City. There has been some thought and discussion of potentially throwing a show together the weekend that I am in the area. Does this mean LHB will be back for good? Not necessarily. But it does mean for one night I'll get a chance to relive some of those positive memories that have been tattoo'd in my mind lately, and perhaps even see some people that I haven't crossed paths with in years, while also giving my sister a weekend that she will never forget.
Please excuse the above rant, but I truly felt an update after 2 years was necessary. My apologies for those I have not responded to whether it was through FB messenger, email, or phone, but life has been hectic and I definitely needed this break.
Feel free to keep checking back for more updates and details on this potential show. Hopefully we can make this happen and add another one (or what might be the last one) to the LHB memories.
Love always,
Your conflicted, MIA promoter - Dawnie Marie ๐
