IT TAKES A DEDICATED COMMITTEE.

BOOKING, DOORS, COFFEE SHOP TEAMS

I am the Deli Manger at the Good Earth Food Coop. I spend my time there making fresh organic soups and foods for the community. Born and raised in central Minnesota, I have been around the local music scene since a teenager. From being an open mic attendee to helping run open mics. I currently book shows and work doors for Project 37. My love and passion for my community is what made me join Project 37. I want to help create a safe and sober inclusive space for local music.

Mark Pawlowski

EDUCATION TEAM & STAGEHAND

Mark is a local musician who has played an active role in the St Cloud music scene for over 10 years. This includes playing shows, booking shows, hosting open mics, and most importantly supporting other local artists. If you attend art related events in the area, chances are you’ve seen him out and about. Mark became involved with Project 37 when he saw the organizations dedication to creating safe spaces for youth to grow and nurture their creativity in our community.

Steph Shaver

GRANT WRITING TEAM

I am a principal at a school for students with behavioral needs. I strongly believe in the healing power of music. The mission of bringing safe and sober shows to all resonates deeply with me. I hope I can further this mission by assisting with grant writing and other “behind the scenes” tasks.

Anna

DOORS & FUNDRAISING TEAM

I’m a bartender at the Red Carpet Nightclub and a Youth Advocate at a local homeless shelter. I make the mocktail menus for shows at the Red Carpet. My daughter Rosie attends shows with me regularly and you can find us working doors and explaining Project 37’s goals.

DOORS & MORAL SUPPORT

I work the doors with my mom and am the “official” Project 37 kid. I mark people to show that they’ve paid cover. I’m a second grader and a Girl Scout this school year. I like to read, draw, sing, and tell everyone that will listen about how much I love going to Project 37 shows.

Julie Jackson

BOOKKEEPING

I’m truly honored to get to help out with the bookkeeping/financials for Project 37! I’m a big fan of metal music (the heavier the better). But local music holds a special place in my heart, I was able to bartend downtown St. Cloud for a few years for a lot of local shows and got to see some really cool bands & artists doing it. I love that Project 37 is creating a community that is inclusive of all ages to experience safe & sober shows. Not only for spectators but creating a platform for all ages and genres to be able perform as well!

Reed Mauriala

STAGEHAND & MORAL SUPPORT

I have been in the St. Cloud community for about 10 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of playing music in the area for about 5 of those years. I enjoy playing guitar, Magic The Gathering, soccer, and CrossFit (I have to talk about it. Rules are rules 😉 Around P37, you’ll find me at shows, running security, and setting up sound equipment.
