After nearly two decades in the Triad, a live music venue beloved by audiences and musicians alike will shutter its doors in January.
The Garage
Tucker Tharpe of the Garage: Self-Proclaimed Winston-Salem Enthusiast
Tucker Tharpe is the owner of the Garage, one of Winston-Salem's oldest music venues. Before owning the Garage, he worked at Spevco Inc., a company that specializes in mobile marketing. He has also worked at the Downtown Winston-Salem Partnership, where he created a number of free events in the downtown area. WFDD Radio Camper Siona Kshirsager recently had the chance to interview him.
The first time I saw Tucker, I was struck by his casual appearance. His relaxed demeanor was apparent as he walked up the steps of the WFDD radio station, dressed in a t-shirt and khakis with a big cup of coffee in his hand. I asked about the vibe in the Garage and Tucker shared his favorite part about his business.
