  As I close out my NorCal adventure, I want to reflect on the great people I have met and worked with along the way.   I have been extremely lucky and blessed to have spent the past six years supporting the arts of northern California in a different capacity than I have in the past. Not a different role, but rather different dialects of entertainment I have been lucky to experience. Although all of them fall under my role as production or project manager, however it was a departure from touring or production company support.                                                                             ...

Live Event Crew and LinkedIn. Resource or waste of time?

How many artist managers, road managers, event planners or people tasked with finding road or event personnel used LinkedIn? Many of us understand the dynamic of first call, second call, third call, hey do you know anyone call. I am curious how LinkedIn has or has not worked as a tool to attract the attention of decision makers in the specialized or "outside the norm" world of entertainment. There are tons of profiles on LinkedIn of people quite fluent in touring, event execution, and other entertainment-centric positions with specialty jobs like Ableton tech, Video Content Creator, Lighting Designer, Tour Manager, Production Manager, Stage Manager, Performer, FOH or Monitor Engineer, Project Manager, Coordinator or any of the other special skill set that falls under the umbrella of touring or event personnel.

From the early 80’s I was blessed to work sound in a large club in Milwaukee WI that was hosting acts such as Dire Straits, the Police, The Plasmatics, Alvin Lee, U2, Tim Curry, The Pretenders, The Cars, Todd Rundgren, U2, AC/DC so many supergroups of today in their infancies. Also a few talent searches that produced a few regional upstarts such as Yipes .  Milwaukee while not being the hub of the music industry did produce the BoDeans and the Violent Femmes. It was a great learning environment patching analog gear to construct mixes from consoles that were not designed for monitor mixing. BGW amps, Phase Linear amps, with Neptune 31 band equalizers. I can remember having to pan subgroups on a twenty-four channel Kelsey board to get eight un-dis...
