Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative outcome will be provided by Boom Island Brewing Co in the form of a percentage increase or decrease of drink sales data from a year earlier when they didn't have the MNHBC performing. We will also evaluate quantitative reaults from our expanding email lists and the number of feedback remarks from our guest book and website. Qualitative will be provided by audience members' feedback, both in person and online (for ex this message was recieved on 12/30/17: "Jesse, Thanks so much for tour wonderful music!!! It soothes my soul, and relieves my stress better than any other 'therapy' I can imagine, particularly when paired with Boom Islands wonderful ambience and delicious beers!!!!" ). Audience participation will be evaluated by participants signing a guest book. The participants can give post-performance feedback as well as praise or suggestions. We will also evaluate physical data from drink sales in comparison to ytd data. ; Audience participation will be evaluated by participants signing a guest book.
