Live from The Boardwalk Stage, Derek Clark and Mikey Muscatello sit between two palms and dive deep into what it really takes to run a legendary local venue. Derek opens up about battling COVID, his incredible staff who kept the ship afloat, and how passion—not profit—keeps The Boardwalk alive.

They get brutally honest about ticket fatigue, lazy marketing, and the harsh economics of live music—breaking down how venues actually make money, how artists dilute their demand, and why grassroots hustle still beats social media algorithms.

It’s raw, real, and a must-listen for anyone who loves the Sacramento music scene, runs a venue, or plays in a band that wants to get booked.

🎤 Featuring: Derek Clark (Owner, The Boardwalk) & Mikey Muscatello (Muscatello Media / NOT That Damn Show / Mikey In The Pit)

📍 Recorded Live: The Boardwalk Stage, Orangevale, CA
