Billy Begley and Anton Laplume sat down with the owner and operator of Blue Jay Listening Room, Cara English. This was such a fun episode because it was very informative but also, Cara is a great hang and so effortless to speak with. You can expect to hear about the ins and outs of running an intimate listening room, what she, as a talent buyer is looking for when booking artists, and some great experiences of different artists playing her venue. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did making it!

On this episode we sat down with Niko Costas of Real Time Management to discuss the differences in approach to booking bar bands vs original acts. Also, the importance of understanding marketing, branding, album cycles, and everything else that helps to set your band apart from the local heroes to national touring acts. Big thanks to Brewz in Riverside for partnering with us on this episode!
