In this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, I talk with Brent Friedman of Exponential Booking—one of the most community-minded booking agents in the ska and punk scenes today. Brent shares how he went from being the organized drummer in DIY bands to booking tours and managing artists like Suicide Machines, Against All Authority, Big D and the Kids Table, Kill Lincoln, and more. We get into how he balances compassion with professionalism, what it really takes to put together a tour, and why he still prints flyers and checks ticket counts every morning. It’s a conversation about burnout, boundaries, and doing this work for the love of the scene. If you’ve ever booked a show, played in a band, or just wondered how it all comes together, this one’s for you.
