Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!!  Join us for this episode with this super-human Tour Manager, AJ Faber!  AJ manages tours for some amazing artists such as The National, Grimes, Spoon, Kurt Vile, Sleigh Bells and Courtney Barnett. A self-proclaimed "organizational freak," AJ -- at the relatively young age of 35 -- has steered tours on her own for over 10 years... an incredible feat.  Hers is a true bootstraps story, having worked her way up and networked herself into her first tour management job many years ago using her passion, dedication, innate skills, and sheer determination as a guiding force.  AJ's story is truly inspirational yet sadly, has also been marked by AJ falling victim to sexual assault -- but she has persevered!!  Come hear AJ's inspiring and soul-lifting story as well as the challenges and struggles she has faced. This is a not-to-be-missed episode.  Thanks for coming along for this important ride on the Roadcase bus.

Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Join us for this exciting and super-fun interview with Rick, Peter and Ben of Goose!!  Josh caught up with the band over July 4 weekend for a live, in-person interview before their show at The Pines in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  During the Covid shutdown, Goose found creative ways to keep the music alive, streaming shows and content that encouraged their fans to get involved in a big way, which became a hallmark of Goose's recent success.  Goose's popularity actually sky-rocketed since Covid based not only on the strength and power of their playing (and play they did!), but also by virtue of being a constant and comforting presence in their fans' lives. The band's recently released album, Shenanigans, represents even more powerful sonic evidence that these guys absolutely rock.  Goose shows, on the other hand, are monstrous demonstrations of the power of LIVE!!  Most recently, the band is also producing its own festival, FredFest, at the Lockn Farm site August 20-22 featuring sets by Goose, Dawes, Dr. Dog and Corey Wong.  Come on aboard and learn more about Goose:  super talented musicians and stellar humans who will also rock your socks off!!
