Few people are as immersed in Philly's diverse music scene as much as
Bill Butler. During the course of any given weekend night he might stop
into three or four different music venues, sometimes on opposite sides
of the city, just to show his support for bands he believes in. By day, Bill manages Caring People Alliance in
West Philadelphia, one of the city's largest nonprofits. Recently he
decided to combine his nonprofit experience and his passion for music
by forming The Philadelphia Sessions, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Philadelphia
through its music. This week, he'll be blogging about the eclectic, burgeoning music scene in Philly and what it means for a city on the rise.
