Jefferson Center has someone new to book its shows. The Spot on Kirk is looking for a new venue manager.
The common denominator is Jamie Cheatwood, who is taking over as programming manager at Jefferson Center. Cheatwood, who for the past couple of years has been venue manager at The Spot on Kirk, also runs the nonprofit Bazaar of Roanoke and has promoted multiple independent rock shows in the region over the past dozen years.
âIâm very excited to expand on the work Iâve been doing by joining Jefferson Centerâs team, but The Spot is and always has been very important to me, even predating my employment there,â said Cheatwood, who booked shows and volunteered at the Kirk Avenue venue before the nonprofit hired her in 2019.
