Triad Acoustic Stage - About Us

We’re a group of friends and music lovers who are working to provide a place for musicians to play!

TAS is based in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is a volunteer organization. Founded in 2007, we held our first shows in early 2008.  We're now in our third year of amazing music.  We feature those artists that you'd never get to see in Greensboro--first-rate acts in close-up performances, great music, and wonderful evenings.  We often follow up the shows with casual gatherings at the Printworks Bistro, and hope that you'll join us there, too!

Our Goals
• Provide comfortable, easy-to-perform-in spaces that sound good
• Bring musicians face to face with their fans for up-close shows
• Return as much money to the musicians as possible, by keeping expenses to a minimum.
• Provide a venue where musicians and fans can meet, play, listen, and share music

Our Staff and Volunteers

Judi Kastner

Judi Kastner has been a lifesaver for TAS.  She's the person who gets the news out, rounds up the press, and lets everyone know what we're up to.  Judi has worked as professional publicist for years, but for the music, it's on the house.  She's a great find!
Bill Payne

One of the home team for Triad Acoustic Stage, Bill's been working on getting good music to Greensboro for years!
Bobby Doolittle

Bobby's always working at the show somewhere--either taking tickets at the front door, working with Jim on the sound system, or selling CD's for the artist.  He's the core of volunteers at TAS, and we couldn't do it without him!
Moni Bates

Moni's been working as a volunteer for TAS since we started; she's always there, getting the room ready, working to cover the artist's needs, helping out whereever she's needed.  A wave of calm preceeds her!
john bates

John Bates is a lynchpin at TAS; you'll find him loading in sound gear, stacking chairs, or entertaining folks between sets--he's always there!
Jo Ann Smith

Jo Ann Smith was in on the ground floor, way back when she and Bill said  "could we?".  Her inspiration keeps us going; her love of live music makes it all worthwhile!
Jim Ritchey

Jim is the reason our shows sound so great.  His years of experience performing, mixing, and recording live music have come home to roost at Triad Acoustic Stage.  His business (RTec.com) is a computer and recording company; for TAS, he's in it for the love of great music!  We couldn't do it without him, and we are blessed to have his company!
Kathy Adams

You've seen Kathy at almost every TAS show--she's the smiling face at the front door, ushering you in for a great evening!
Tim Barkley

 Tim has done graphics work for Triad Acoustic Stage since day one--he's the eye behind those glorious "high art" tickets from season one and season two--now collector's items.  And he took the photos of the instruments on our home page; great work!
