Let It Not Be Just a Footnote in History
The Troubadour is a venue that’s made history in music. And sadly, it might be closing its doors, forcing its owner Christine Karayan to lay off most of her staff, except for two workers, and start a GoFundMe page. The question Karayan asked is: “Are we going to be a footnote in history?”
She explained that they have no shareholders, no funding, and no income whatsoever. And the bills still keep pouring in. It’s a threat many, many businesses are facing as of late. But the Troubadour is something special – a place that (like others) deserves to continue its legacy. So, as we cross our fingers and wish for the best for this almost mythical place, let’s take a look at what the Troubadour offered the world of music during its heyday.
