You Should Expect To See A Lot More Live Music In Parramatta Soon

In case you needed any more convincing that Parramatta is evolving into one of Sydney's biggest cultural destinations, it has been announced that the suburb's live music scene is about to get a massive boost thanks to a new partnership. 

The Live Music Office has teamed up with the City Of Parramatta Council to foster the growth of live music in Parramatta.

"A vibrant live music scene will perfectly complement Parramatta’s thriving restaurant precinct and will support the development of small bars," City of Parramatta Administrator Amanda Chadwick said. 

"It is expected to provide an economic boost to the city through increased patronage and visitor spend, particularly as part of the night time economy.

"Live music has a way of invigorating a space, creating atmosphere and drawing people in. We expect the local community, visitors, workers and businesses will greatly enjoy and benefit from the creation of a live music scene in the city."

The City Of Parramatta is currently on the hunt for a Live Music Programming Coordinator who will work closely with the Council and Live Music Office to boost Parramatta's live music scene. 

"Integrating sector development initiatives and policy planning is essential to growing live music from the grass roots up," Live Music Office Audience and Sector Development Director Damian Cunningham said.

"The appointment of a Live Music Programming Coordinator will benefit artists, audiences and businesses in Parramatta."

The news comes just week after it was announced beloved short-summit Tropfest will move from it's long-time home in Sydney to Parramatta Park in early 2017.
