The members of our Magic Bean coffeehouse. Most are musicians, artists, models, students, & writers who want to promote what we do. We give everyone a chance to play here or be part of the coffeehouse. Some of our staff have gone on to be signed by major labels, independent labels, small indy, and Nashville labels as well.
We work to serve our customers in a laid-back friendly atmosphere. The Bean is a band venue and we work together with the bands to promote each event. We have teams to assist in flyering the Springfield area. We appreciate those who volunteer here always.

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
