A Mini-Austin In Arizona? Chandler Works To Bring More Live Music Downtown

Chandler is looking to make itself into a type of music destination.

The Downtown Chandler Community Partnership has launched a series of monthly Friday night concerts, which it sees as a compliment to a growing number of downtown restaurants and bars which are also featuring live music.

Mary Murphy-Bessler is the executive director of the Downtown Chandler Community Partnership, joined The Show to talk about why downtown businesses are focusing so much now on live music.
