James Eppler, Adjunct Journalism Professor, Editor/Anchor of “Good Day Lubbock”

Lubbock’s arts and entertainment scene spans influential music, award-winning museums, visual arts, and live theater. So, why do so many people think there’s nothing to do here? James Eppler will highlight how local entertainment enriches quality of life and helps drive the Hub City’s economy.

He has reported on the Lubbock entertainment scene in local media since 2001 and served on the  Civic Lubbock, Inc. board and helped launch “Lubbock Music Now” which highlights local artists with new releases each year.
