Spokesman Brian Armitage says they’re getting lots of great feedback already.

“We’e had some top people in the industry visit the site, look at what we’re doing, and they’ve all given us the thumbs us, saying you’re doing it right, you’re not getting too big, you’re bringing in Juno Award winning bands, you have everything in place.”
