LAUREN NAPIER: CLUB IMPACT DITCHES 1.0 FOR 2.0 >>>

All good things must come to an end. So they say. It shouldn’t have to be true. Club Impact has been primarily managed, especially the booking, by Derek Smith and his wife for the last 10-plus years. As Smith leaves Club Impact to focus on “the home front and family and job …” Club Impact Version 1.0 comes to a close and Club Impact Version 2.0 emerges â€" a change I’ll explain later. To bid farewell to the Smith couple and send them out with a bang, there will be a Torch Passing Music Festival today, bringing the Club Impact we know and love to an end and beginning a new chapter in the South Sound all-ages scene.
