 Rich
Sales Associate
Expertise: Rock, Alternative, Country, Jazz
I’ve been playing music all my adult life and writing about it nearly as long. While freelancing for a few magazines, I picked up a part-time job at the (now deceased) Manifest in Clemson, SC. One move to Charlotte later and here I am. In this digital age where everyone buys in isolation, I think Manifest serves a vital role in bringing music lovers of all backgrounds together.
