The Maestro
The hat you put on when it's the songs and the culture a place tells itself.
A town explains itself to itself through what it makes — its music, its stories, its shared culture. That substrate is worth building and keeping, not just consuming from somewhere else.
Anyone wears this hat
A musician, a storyteller, anyone who thinks a place should sound like itself.
Placeholder faces — real community portraits are still to be sourced. The point they carry: anyone wears this hat.
What it covers

What your Chief of Staff does
