Provide a brief <br />description of your <br />pre-pandemic core <br />arts-related <br />programming or <br />offerings. <br />By propelling local artists to international notoriety and helping <br />regional music businesses expand, Five Head plays a key part in the <br />artistic ecosystem of Orange County. <br />We provide business services to our artists, including but not limited <br />to tour support and logistics, label communications and negotiation, <br />press coordination, marketing, and career guidance. <br />Prior to the pandemic, we were assisting Mandolin Orange’s spring <br />tour while working remotely to support our other artists. <br />North Carolina’s <br />“stay at home” order <br />(Executive Order <br />117) had a profound <br />impact on the arts <br />sector. Describe the <br />specific steps your <br />organization took to <br />comply with <br />Executive Order 117. <br />Each of the artists we work with cancelled or postponed all shows <br />March 15th onward. All company work has taken place from home, in- <br />person meetings have been kept to a minimum and travel has <br />stopped unless absolutely essential. We have travelled with Mandolin <br />Orange twice by car to perform two highly organized and outdoor, <br />socially distanced shows, but have otherwise remained at home. <br />Please explain the <br />impact of your <br />organization on the <br />Orange County <br />community in a <br />typical year. <br />Five Head amplifies diverse musical acts across Orange County, as <br />well as two major music businesses, Yep Roc Records and Redeye <br />Distribution. We support two artists, Mandolin Orange and Michaela <br />Anne, on the Yep Roc roster, fueling their business. Last year, <br />Mandolin Orange's record, 'Blindfaller,' became the best selling Yep <br />Roc record of all time. Additionally, all of the band's physical product <br />is distributed through Redeye, a company that supports nearly 50 <br />employees in Orange County. <br />In addition to working heavily with our management clients, Five <br />Head regularly consults and offers gratis advice for local artists of all <br />genres and reach. Jimmy Rhine has been the recipient of lots of <br />advice from local and regional music professionals and returning the <br />favor is a strong priority for him and the company. <br />COVID-19 IMPACT <br />DATA <br />This data is for the OCAC's informational purposes only and may or <br />may not be applicable to your organization depending on your <br />structure. <br />Number of Staff <br />Eliminated March 15 <br />- October 15 <br />0 <br />Number of Staff <br />Positions <br />Furloughed/Hours <br />Reduced March 15 - <br />October 15 <br />Approximately 105 hours were cut between March 15 and April 30. <br />One worker was projected to be working 30-40 hours per week for the <br />duration of the year (not with company as of May 1).
