I am writing today to voice my support for SLO BREW'S concerts at the new venue out near the Airport "The
Rock". There are a number of reasons to support live music out there but probably the biggest is job growth.
The Micro Brew industry has seen a dramatic boom over the last 25 years. SLO Brew has been in San Luis
Obispo a very long time.
With them looking to increase brewing capacity it will allow them to offer more jobs to people to keep up with
demand. Having live music out there near the airport where all you hear are jet engines all day will make SLO
Brew a more unique Micro Brewer. Being located half way between SF and LA they will have the ability to
draw in acts while traveling between these two music towns. Look below for bullet points of why music should
be there.
1. Add more jobs to SLO (well paying I may add)
2. Increase tourism at least for a day
3. Draw attention to SLO as a hip and up and coming place (something it is sorely lacking)
4. Add an outdoor music venue withing town limits
5. Allow local artists the ability to perform in front of a larger crowd
6. Give you more money
7. Help SLO Brew expand and become a well known micro brew
