“This is what you guys look like” as he pulled out his own digital from a bag on stage. All the photographers in the pit laughed and continued to shoot
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75That’s hilarious.

sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75Morgan Wallen’s also been publicly caught on video using explicit racial slurs (a few years ago) and still seems to have a pretty steady career. This raises the question — Do Country music stars face the same consequences that other celebrities do? Or does their fan base excuse behavior more than other fan bases?

High Water has approved: Myself, Kate Bryan, Sarah Grace Sherbondy, and Mikayla DiDonato for media passes (photo for SG and Mikayla). I believe Gardner will be there too. And Clif probably.
I would like to divide and conquer and come up with a plan to hit this festival from all angles for some dope collaborative coverage.
Kate, we discussed how you would write the main review this year, which can still happen if you’re still down, but we can also split up duties to come up with unique ideas since there are so many of us.
I’m planning to do some personal commentary, definitely going to focus on my opinion of Noah Kahan’s set as a skeptic/hater/non tik-tocker. Also want to write about Babe Club extensively.
Anyways, the fest is in 11 days so I wanted to get this going. Please do chime in with thoughts or ideas. Mikayla is not in here but I will relay to her.
Oh common Kahan’s not that bad… But I can get in contact with Mikayla and figure out how we can divide and conquer.
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75When I first started managing, I reached out to the artist directly with a proposal of helping them book a few shows/ rather than coming on strong to an artist you barely know about managing them — also in your best interest to wait because it might not be a good fit in terms of compatibility (personally and professionally because communal reputation is important). I’ve also discovered another band at a house show. Going up to the band and introducing yourself and finding a way to weave in interest of managing the band is more than reasonable. You will eventually start getting approached by bands to manage them, once you’ve made enough of a name for yourself for people to come to you.
I now run my management through more of a freelance booking forum- that way income is a more definitive factor. I also just feel like on a DIY level booking is the main aspect of managing along with giving the band advice to better following, music, social media, etc. but it’s hard to just get paid for “advice” until the band is on a larger level. I find this way of running my business is more effective for me and my clarity in working with people. Have a clear mission- no one wants to hire empty ideas. Come in with a plan of how you bring something different to the table. And why your advice is valuable.
when I first started I didn’t charge, mostly because I had an insecurity that I didn’t deserve it/ the band needed it more.
GET PAID. Even if it’s minimal (which it will be a majority of the time, on a smaller level). I’ve learned how important it is to make a percentage – making sure you aren’t taken advantage of- especially as a woman.Your time and efforts are valuable and should be valued.
last thing- LOVE THE ARTIST’S MUSIC. If you’re passionate it propels your work ethic and encourages the band.
Just my two cents!!!
best of luck
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75You pay for your drinks- you should pay for the music too! Cheers to getting musicians paid!!!
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75of Montreal dropped “Yung Hearts Bleed Free” earlier this month. A track that utilizes the full capacity of synth and eclectic effects. Heavily draped in an 80s French pop blanket even next to their edgy discography. A casual yet psychedelic” call and response” tune.
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75Like not interfere with other bands playing at other venues? That and it’d be a great way to help touring /local bands build bills. I know I certainly could use that when booking.

@sgmgmt yeah they will be fine with it. But we are actually considering partnering with Mosquito Beach for this instead now.
I will keep everybody posted. I am about to be out of the local loop for a week but i plan to be posting in the forum the whole time.
Cool, Mosquito Beach is sick.

What an awesome tour writeup! Love to see how you not only booked the tour for this band, but joined them on the road and documented the experience. This is the kind of stuff that immortalizes the music for generations to come.
I for one (the ghost of Jerry Garcia) would like to see more of this kind of content from Extra Chill!
Also notice how when I reply to this article, it gets pushed back to the top of the list! How cool is that for a way to continuously promote articles?
Thanks so much, love to see this type of article connecting with people!
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75I push for people to create a community account and they’ve reached out to me with a lot of cool feedback. Maybe to incentivize more accounts to be created, we could make a contest for free EC Fest tickets and/or the Music Farm 90s show. Do a draw of all community members and pick a few winners.
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75We all have a love for the 13 Reasons Why actor, Dylan Minnette.
AKA lead singer of Wallows.
Saw these guys at Music Farm in February of 2020!
Give a listen to “Your Apartment” – Their first release in over two years!
sgmgmtParticipantRank: Crisp AirPoints: 83.75Would love to be involved in lineups! Do you know if poho is cool with artists being under 21? I know Royal is strict about it. Asking some cofc kids to play would be a cool way to get a different demographic of EC peeps. That is if the show is for all ages.
