In April we got our first gig playing at a grocery store. It’s an unusual place for live entertainment, but what a brilliant idea; it totally works. Live music makes a trip to the grocery store so much more fun.
We love it; the customers and staff love it. What a welcome surprise for shoppers. They stand considering an onion, a steak, whatever, beautiful music floats over, and BAM we come strolling into view. There is a double take and then a smile. Little babies riding in carts tune in. Bigger kids do silly dances and clap along, laughing. We cruise through the produce section, down the dairy aisle, through the bakery. The camera phones come out. Relatives in other states get messages saying, “Look! We have live music in our grocery stores!”
Buy for Less has it’s heart in the right place. They're supporting the arts on the ground level. Who would think that bringing local culture to their patrons would be a mission for a grocery chain? Remarkable! This sets them apart from most businesses. Thanks Buy for Less / Uptown!
