“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind posting the Facebook post that Madam’s Organ just put up. I’m a musician who plays at the club a couple of days a week and they just discovered a racket where the doorman were stealing the cover charges that go to musicians by having customers pay the cover charge to their personal venmo.
It’s actually a pretty big scandal and a lot of us musicians who rely on gigs to make a living were affected.
I have attached a screenshot of the post that explains it. I think that putting it on your blog would get a lot of exposure and we can find out an idea of how much money the musicians lost.”
“TO CATCH A THIEF
MADAMS NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
This past week we had to fire two doormen after we found that they had been collecting door cover charges that are meant for the performing musicians by having customers use payment apps that directed the money to their personal accounts
We will be reimbursing the bands for the money these men stole
IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW PAID COVER CHARGES USING AN APP(venmo,cashapp, etc)
PLEASE, if possible, SEND A SCREENSHOT of the PAYMENT to [email protected]
We promise to pay the bands every dollar that they were cheated out of by these men and vow to put in place policies that will make sure this never happens again
Thank you in advance for your help”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
