"During its concert season from May to October, the Mountain Winery invited students from several South Bay schools to events. On Oct. 18, students from De Anza College in Cupertino, Santa Clara University and University of Silicon Valley in San Jose gathered in the winery's lounge to hear from professionals in the live entertainment and movie industry, including representatives from AEG Presents and Goldenvoice and actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton."
"Mountain Winery general manager Ronan Daly said the event came together in around two weeks, adding that he felt he had an obligation to use the opportunity he was given to "create outlets" for the students to learn and grow. He acknowledged that all of his collaborators' careers were driven by a shared love of music, but that the industry itself can be hard to enter."
