Feel the “Brute Force”
Ricky Witte is a 19 year old running a booking and promotions company called “Brute Force.” The company works with local bands in the scene. Ricky says “. I would like to help further unify the music scene, and that's what I am trying to do.” The company all started when Ricky got the itch to be apart of the scene. He said that “I got involved in 2014. I went to my first local show. It was from that point, that I decided I wanted to become apart of the local music scene. I wanted to book the best shows. I also wanted to play in a band, and that's finally coming around.” But it hasn’t been easy though, he recalls the hardest part was getting things off the ground, as well is anything that involves money. In addition, it still is a bit of a struggle booking shows. But, for Ricky, “Music runs in my blood. I'd like to see the music scene prosper. Until it does, I won't stop.”
