What is the state of the music industry in 2024? I know I can't answer that one, so I invited old friend Tom Schmall to talk about it. Tom's a Promotion, Marketing, and Artist Development Specialist for Red Light Management. In previous roles, he led promotion and marketing for record companies like Interscope and Maverick, and cut his teeth on independent promotion under Jeff McClusky. Some of the things we talk about in this episode: *What mistake do independent musicians most often make? *When should an artist seek management?*What is radio's role in the present day? *Is there a blueprint for new artists to follow?*Why do some shitty bands break, while great ones don't? *Does “the album” matter in the music industry in 2024? I feel like we only skimmed the surface in this episode, which means I need to plan for a follow up! ## Car Con Carne is sponsored by Easy Automation: easy-automation.net Transform your living space with cutting-edge home automation.

There are words written down, and then there are words spoken out loud and arranged into an order that allows someone listening to learn a few things about what's happening in geographical area in which they are interested. For those reading these words now, this is a complicated way of saying this is Charlottesville Community Engagement that has been produced for June 22, 2024. I'm Sean Tubbs, and I can report that there's madness to this method. In this installment: * Charlottesville City Council reaffirms water protection ordinance / stormwater utility fee after two public hearings that were not labeled as such in the agenda (learn more)* Charlottesville Deputy City Manager Marshall briefs Council on her approach to social equity goals (learn more)* The Charlottesville and Albemarle economic development authorities meet to learn more about the regional strategies put together by another level of government (learn more)* The University of Virginia Buildings and Grounds Committee learns how planning and budgeting works for capital projects (learn more)* The Harrison Center of Translational Research at the University of Virginia is preparing to learn more about neurodegenerative diseases (learn more)First shout-out: Friends of JMRL In the first subscriber supported shout-out since the summer solstice: Let's learn a little about a nonprofit group that plays a major role to keep the Jefferson Madison Regional Library going strong. Friends of JMRL plays an important role in the slightly Byzantine structure of library budgets. Proceeds from the popular book sale go to pay for children's, teen and adult programs. The five jurisdictions that make up JMRL pay for facilities, salaries, and operational costs. State aid funds the collection acquisitions for all materials, physical, and digital. The federal e-rate program pays for equipment purchases. And Friends of JMRL raise funds for all sorts of activities. That includes the Library endowment in conjunction with the Charlottesville Albemarle Community Foundation awards money to special efforts such as the NAACP scholarship as well grants to out-of-area patrons to cover the $30 fee for residents of non-member localities. Friends of JMRL also manages the Books Behind Bars program. Volunteers find and ship books to Virginia inmates at no cost to the inmates. Expenses are paid through private benefactors and Red Light Management.Visit jmrlfriends.org to learn more and find out how you can get involved. Second-shout out: Cvillepedia Cvillepedia is a wiki dedicated to sharing and building community knowledge and history about the people, places, and events in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. This site is built with the same software as Wikipedia and is a free, public, collaborative encyclopedia that anyone can edit and improve. Cvillepedia is a volunteer run project. Click HERE to become a volunteer and add to the stories we tell about the past!Thoughts at the end of #693AAnd with publication of this newsletter, one week ends and another begins. I have two more stories to post to Information Charlottesville, but one may end up being more appropriate in tomorrow's edition of the newsletter. For now, I need to turn my attention to putting together the Week Ahead. By my count, there were 17 stories in the newsletter this week, and about half of them became audio versions. I've sort of figured out how to balance all of this in a way that the print newsletter gets out quicker and those who listen get to hear the stories the way they're meant to be experienced.People learn things in different ways, and I'm always looking to learn new methods of getting information to people. In four years, there have been hundreds of stories, and I hope to be able to continue this for some time to come.Many of you subscribe and as its a Sunday and my time is partially covered by the sponsor of the Week Ahead, I'm going to spare you the sales pitch. I will ask you consider sharing this newsletter with someone else who may not know about it. Listeners and readers wanted! Share with people you think may want to be informed about things!

About Laurel: Before partnering with Primary Wave, Laurel Stearns for a year and a half-built a small roster at Prospect Park(The Firm) with Red Fang, Father John Misty, White Denim and Jenny O. Laurel spent 8 years at Capitol Records, 3.5 years at Red Light Management and 6 years as an independent manager. During her tenure at Capitol Records, Laurel ushered in bands such as Interpol, The Decemberists, Shout Out Louds, Fischerspooner, Sparklehorse, and LCD Soundsystem. During her tenure at Capitol Laurel realized there were many bands that she was passionate about that belonged nowhere near a major label. With two partners, launched Cold Sweat Records/Caroline. From that label, No Age(WIVES), Battles, Health, Devendra Banhart, Yahowa 13, and many others were discovered and released. Laurel along with 3 others, opened the LA office of Redlight Mgmt, brought The Decemberists and Alberta Cross, and worked on Chris Cornell's solo effort. As an independent manager, Laurel managed: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (Mammoth), The Descendents, ALL(Epitaph), GWAR(Metal Blade), The Paladins (4AD) Plastilina Mosh (Capitol). Laurel helped develop fan bases for these bands with branded tours & creative marketing ideas (ie: comic book in-stores for GWAR, shows on cruise ships for Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Descendent's “Caffeine Nation Tour” – which did not allow any beer sponsors or corporate posters in the venue, etc.), An orchestra tour with The Decemberists (largest audiences the band had played to). Earlier in her career, Laurel also scouted for The Sony WORK group, where she was involved in the album set up for artists such as Fiona Apple, Jennifer Lopez, Jamiroquai & Eagle Eye Cherry. Currently managing: U.S. Girls (4AD/Beggars), Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (Ghostly Int/Secretly Canadian), Red Fang (Relapse/Orchard), The Album Leaf(Nettwerk), The Session aka Christian James Hand

Hannah Boren - Red Light Management As we enter a new year, I thought we'd refine some aspects and the overall approach to what we're doing here with this podcast. When I first envisioned this, I thought taking a seasonal approach to it would work best, coming up with topics such as “Origin Stories” and “Pivots”, but as it began to unfold, I've come to realize that each artist manager's store is so unique and inspiring in its own right, that it's best to let the discussion dictate the overarching theme. So, moving forward, we'll forgo the seasonal approach and do just that, let the stories take us where they may. To kick us off, I've invited a friend and former colleague of mine to join us today: Hannah Boren. As I mentioned at the top of our chat, I first encountered Hannah when she was a student at Belmont University in Nashville, and she became our first intern at NoiseTrade, a music discovery platform I used to run. Her talents and intuition were evident even at this early stage, so I'm beyond thrilled that she's excelled in becoming an artist manager, working with another dear friend of ours, Aaron Sawyer, at Red Light Management. I'll let Hannah share the rest of her journey, as we dig in.
This week we catch our great white whale. After a bit of kicking and whining, Wes Kidd joins the podcast to talk about Rights Of The Accused, his current gig at Red Light Management, his time served as touring guitarist for Local H, Australia, the legendary battle of the Cheap Trick cover bands, and how much fun it is to dress up in a bunny suit. Did we mention that Wes was the singer-songwriter in Triple Fast Action? We talk about that, too. Don't expect a fuck-ton of insight — but goddamn, it was a fun hang.

After a stint at Ministry of Sound in New York where he signed Fischerspooner, Andrew went to law school and then joined the entertainment law firm of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks where he worked on ground breaking deals for Madonna, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Diddy and others. At the end of 2012, he moved to Red Light Management to manage Tiësto while also serving as the GM of Tiesto's record label, Musical Freedom Records. Andrew moved to Deckstar (now YM&U Group) in 2017 with Don Diablo who rose to be the 6th most popular DJ in the world while under his management and currently manages 3LAU, whose NFT drops have generated nearly $20M in sales this year, and Sullivan King.Connect with Lennon: Website: https://www.lennoncihak.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/lennoncihakMailing List: http://eepurl.com/dlYpxTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lennoncihak/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lennoncihakTwitter: https://twitter.com/LennonCihakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennoncihak/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5eX_uxAUIwBC0gyKwCbqtwGuest Request: https://goo.gl/forms/8zs61IYiIXMLjFpX2

In today’s edition:Albemarle Supervisors say goodbye to some key staff members and get an update on how the county will utilize America Recovery Plan fundingThe University of Virginia will soon close their community vaccination center at Seminole Square Shopping CenterA new connector road opens in Albemarle County Tomorrow is Juneteenth, marking the end of two and a half centuries of slavery in British colonies in North America as well as the young United States of America. The day parks the day in 1865 federal troops entered Galveston, Texas two months after the Civil War to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Here’s Vice President Kamala Harris at a bill signing yesterday.“Throughout history, Juneteenth has been known by many names,” Harris said. “Jubilee Day. Freedom Day. Liberation Day. Emancipation Day. And today? A national holiday.”Harris said there is much more work to be done to address racism in the United States, but the creation of a national holiday makes a statement. In this case, it’s to acknowledge history that many continued to be enslaved in Confederate states long after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1, 1863. “For more than two years, the enslaved people of Texas were kept in servitude,” Harris said. “For more than two years, they were intentionally kept from their freedom. For more than two years!” The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will celebrate from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, with food, music, and “a non-sewing sewing event” from Stitch Please. That’s the podcast hosted by Lisa Woolfork. The event is free, but donations are encouraged. (register) For more on what’s happening this weekend to mark Juneteenth, visit this article on C-Ville Weekly. Watch Vice President Harris’ remarks on the WTVR 6 YouTube pageJust under half of Virginians are fully vaccinated according to the Virginia Department of Health. Becker’s Hospital Review ranks the Commonwealth number 16 among the 50 states and D.C. for percent of the population vaccinated, with Vermont at number one and Mississippi last. What do those numbers look like locally? Dr. Costi Sifri is director of hospital epidemiology for the University of Virginia Health System.“Right now 79.9 percent, you know, 80 percent of all adults in Albemarle County have received at least one dose of vaccine,” Dr. Sifri said. “In Charlottesville that number is 68.1 percent.” Dr. Sifri said Nelson is also at 68.1 percent and Louisa is at 56.7 percent. Tonight, UVA Health will hold a vaccine clinic at the first Friday’s After Five event in over 21 months. Justin Vesser is a pharmacy supervisor for UVA Health who said the event is in partnership with Red Light Management. “We know we wanted to go to the Downtown Mall because that’s where people have gathered in Charlottesville from all different walks of life so they offered the perfect space at the Pavilion,” Vesser said. “We’ve had a fair number of vaccinations there but even more important I think we’ve had a great series of conversations with people especially about the topic of vaccine hesitancy. We’ve seen hesitancy head on down on the Downtown Mall.” UVA Health will close their community vaccine center at Seminole Square by the end of July and move it back to the hospital’s west complex at Jefferson Park Avenue and Lee Street. Justin Vesser is a pharmacy supervisor for UVA Health. “The Seminole Square vaccine site has been a huge boon to the community,” Vesser said. “We’ve been able to offer just a massive number of vaccines there with a really good experience for everyone who’s gone there. But the roster there has gone down and down and down. I think that shows signs of progress that we’re reaching most people who at this point want to get the vaccine.” A program to bring vaccines to people in their homes will continue.“Those patients are often the most vulnerable among us who would potentially have the worst outcome if they were to get sick with COVID,” Vesser said, “We will continue to work with the fire departments and with the Blue Ridge Health District to offer those homebound vaccines until there’s nobody left, until there’s no demand for that.”The seven-day average for new cases is 139 a day and the seven-day average for positive results is 1.5 percent. The state of emergency will lapse on June 30. Yesterday, the Commonwealth’s Attorney in both Albemarle and Charlottesville issued a joint statement that anyone who decides after that day to continue wearing a mask for COVID purposes will not be prosecuted. “A state law making it unlawful to wear a mask in public with the intent to conceal one’s identity will go back into full effect on that day,” reads the statement. “The same law permits the wearing of masks to protect the safety of the wearer and other persons.”Source: Virginia Department of HealthA new piece of roadway in Albemarle County has opened this week. The $2.9 million Rio Mills Connector runs for a quarter mile between Berkmar Drive Extension and Rio Mills Road and is now complete. This road allows for a gravel road that had lead to U.S. 29 to be closed to traffic, including trucks that access the Luckstone Quarry in the vicinity. This project is one of six designed and built by Curtis Consulting as part of a single contract. Two other recently completed projects are the new traffic light on U.S. 29 at Interstate 64, and improvements to the Fontaine Avenue interchange with U.S. 29. Coming up next is the diverging diamond at U.S. 250 and I-64 and roundabouts at U.S. 250 and Virginia Route 151 and Route 20 and Proffit Road.

The Rivanna Conservation Alliance is looking for a few good volunteers to help out on Clean Stream Tuesdays, a mile and a half paddle and clean-up to remove trash and debris from popular stretches of the Rivanna River. Trash bags, trash pickers, gloves, and hand sanitizer/wipes will be provided, though volunteers will need to transport themselves to and from the end points. Kayaks for the purpose can be rented from the Rivanna River Company. Visit the Rivanna Conservation Alliance's volunteer page to learn more about upcoming dates.The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors said goodbye Wednesday to three employees, two of whom are retiring and one who is moving on to the School of Data Sciences at the University of Virginia. Michael Frietas has been the Chief of Public Works for Albemarle for the past 15 years, and the resolution in his honor recognized his work to help the conversion of the former Yancey Elementary School into the Yancey School Community Center. Phyllis Savides was honored for 22 years in the county’s social services department as well as the director for the past several years. Here’s Deputy County Executive Doug Walker. “She is forever a champion of the underdog and that is a role that she relishes in all of our conversations by making sure that we don’t forget,” Walker said. The next person recognized hasn’t been with the county as long but has played a significant role in the past few years. Here’s County Executive Jeff Richardson. “I appreciate the Board’s formal resolution of recognition of Michael Freitas’ retirement and Phyllis Savides’ retirement,” Richardson said. “The third person this afternoon, Siri Russell, the situation is a little different. Siri will be leaving our organization at the end of the month and she will be taking a great opportunity to further her career.” Russell has been the director of Equity and Inclusion for Albemarle and will now be the Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the School of Data Science.“”The good news is that Siri Russell will still be part of our community,” Richardson said. “She will still be part of our organization as a key partner agency.”Richardson lauded Russell for her office’s recent annual report. For her part, Russell thanked the Board for taking the work seriously.“It’s been a resolve for equity, a commitment to inclusion, to a diverse community, to justice, to recognizing lesser told histories and stories and to really furthering the work,” Russell said. “To collaboration with our partners like the city, the University of Virginia, and others.” Russell and Supervisor Ann Mallek recently appeared together on a panel discussion run by the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society. Later in the meeting, Supervisors discussed possible ways of using their share of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding. At the public comment period, Roy Van Doorn of Charlottesville spoke on behalf of the area chapter of the Virginia Restaurant, Lodging, and Travel Association and asked for direct funding for recovery funds. “The ARP stipulates that 25 percent of these local funds be devoted to hospitality but the legislative text is not specific on how local governments should meet that goal,” Van Doorn said.Van Doorn pointed to a decline in property assessments for hotel properties, as well as the shuttering of the wedding industry for 15 months, as signs of how the hospitality sector has been hurt. Courtney Cacatian, the executive director of the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau, said tourism provided 3,400 jobs and generated $14 million in tax revenues for Albemarle. In 2020, that changed. “COVID hit the tourism industry especially hard,” Cacatian said. “As our industry begins to climb back, it’s essential that we invest in promoting the county in order to have a strong recovery.”The CACVB is funded in through transient lodging taxes, which means the budget for marketing is down. Cacatian asked the Board to consider using the ARP funds to make up the difference as well as support for the lodging industry. “The lodging industry has not received local COVID relief to date and I humbly ask the Board of Supervisors to consider providing grants to the sector for recovery,” Cacatian said. Chief Financial Officer Nelsie Birch then briefed the Board on what’s happening with the ARP. In all, the county will receive $21.2 million from the legislation, and half has already been distributed to the county. Unlike with the previous federal CARES funding, the U.S. Treasury directly funded localities, bypassing state governments. Birch described the broad category for how $4 million of the first portion will be spent. “We wanted to continue the work that we had started with the CARES CRF funding that we did on human services, economic activity and business support,” Birch said. “The Board also supported the use of about $3 million for broadband, knowing that that’s probably not all that we may want to contribute, but there was significant funding for broadband.” The rest of the funding could go to help Albemarle government as an organization, but staff are still seeking to identify how the funding would comply with federal rules. The Treasury Department is still taking comments, and so Supervisors won’t be asked to take a final vote on how to use the money until July. Birch recommended a flexible approach to using the balance of the funding, given there are multiple sources of funding. “There is continued need right now because people are not out of the woods, businesses and households are not out of it,” Birch said. “The state is going to have a lot of funding available with respect to mortgage offset, rent relief, utility relief. We don’t yet know specifically how that is going to fund down to a local resident, but we know that there is something there.”The Albemarle Broadband Authority could take up how to use the $3 million at their meeting next Wednesday. The Board of Supervisors will appropriate the full amount of ARP funding at their meeting on July 7.

In today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out, supporter Lonnie Murray wants you to know about a series of seminars on spring and fall landscaping with native plants. Plant Virginia Natives has held two of these already, but the next one is coming up on March 23 with Trista Imrich, owner of Wild Works of Whimsy. This is a good place to start if you’d like to plant natives but don’t know where to begin! On today’s show:Sounds from last week’s groundbreaking of the first new public housing units in a generation A check in with the update on the Crozet Master PlanVirginia Republicans pick a new method to nominate candidates for statewide officeCity Parks and Rec Board briefed on potential re-openingsVirginia Republicans will choose their candidates for statewide office on May 8 at a convention that will be held at 37 different locations spread out across the Commonwealth. The State Central Committee voted on a motion last night to proceed in this manner, which is known as an “unassembled convention.” Delegates will select the candidate rather than be directly selected by voters. The previous idea was to hold one convention at Liberty University with participants driving through. There are ten Republican candidates for governor, including State Senator Amanda Chase, who filed an injunction in February to stop the party from holding a convention rather than a primary. The suit was later dismissed. Democrats will hold a primary on June 8. The Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at their March 11 virtual meetingThe Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met Thursday night, about ten weeks before outdoor pools would be scheduled to open. However, the continuing pandemic and state of emergency could mean delays for this year. In February, the advisory board indicated support for planning for a normal opening. Ned Michie is the chair.“Staff are in favor of opening those pools on time and safely and are working with City Council who is really going to be the deciding voice, the City Council working with the city manager,” Michie said. Several people spoke in favor of the pools opening so swim teams can have a full season. Parks and Recreation Director Todd Brown said Council may take up the matter on Monday.“The City Council is working with the City Manager on the decision of when and what we will open and what activities we will be holding or they will allow us to hold,” Brown said.The matter is not listed on the Council’s agenda, but Brown said a recommendation might come anyway. (download March 12 letter from parks board to City Council)Brown said staff are preparing to get the facilities ready to open, and transition plans are being crafted based on CDC guidelines. If pools do open, Brown said the city will need to be ready to hire people back as lifeguards. “A couple things that are going on that are planned and some things that we’re hiring for,” Brown said. “The City Market is going to open downtown on April 10 as a drive-through. Throughout the month of April we will be assessing as the guidelines change how and when we can open that up into a walk-up situation as normal. Summer camps at school sites have been approved and we are hiring staff for that. Our summer camps that we hold at rec centers have not been approved.” The parks board also took action on recommendations for names for new parks. A 27 acre property across from Azalea Park is slated to be called Azalea Park WestA property on Moores Creek that includes the foundation of the Hartmans Mill is recommended to be called Mill Park. Davis Field is recommended to be called Unity Field at Northeast Park. The rectangular field is rented out to the Soccer Organization Charlottesville Area.Heyward Community Forest near the Ragged Mountain Natural Area is recommended to retain that name to honor Jane HeywardA stretch of land along the John Warner Parkway is recommended to be called Butterfly GreenwayThe groundbreaking ceremony can be watched on the city’s streaming meeting archiveLast Sunday on March 7, ground was broken on the first new public housing units in a generation. The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority is building 62 new units on an athletic field at South First Street as part of the first phase of that facilities’ redevelopment. Audrey Oliver is a former CRHA Commissioner and resident of South First Street.“For more than 25 years, redevelopment of public housing in the city of Charlottesville has been in conversations and promises to residents for new housing,” Oliver said. “The promises became broken and residents became discouraged because the promised were never delivered.”In 2010, the city developed a master plan for the development of public housing, and in 2013, a small area plan called the Strategic Investment Area was put together and added to the city’s Comprehensive Plan. But redevelopment itself stalled until after August 12, 2017. The Dave Matthews Band committed $5 million toward public housing and Red Light Management has worked to make the project a reality. Ground breaking can’t occur until all the financial and regulatory hurdles have been cleared.“Today we’re here to celebrate the groundbreaking of 62 brand new units to be built on this property,” Oliver said. “There will be one, two and three bedroom units.”Oliver said CRHA aims to build replacement units for all CRHA properties. Charlottesville City Council has committed city funds to assist, including $3 million for South First Street Phase 1 and renovation of Crescent Halls. Council approved a performance agreement for that funding last October, and you can read this long article about what that entails. “It will not happen overnight but with everyone’s support, we can make it happen,” Oliver said. Plans for a second phase at South First Street have been led by residents, but the plans are not ready for the CRHA to apply for low-income housing tax credits this year. Watch the entire event on the city’s streaming video page.*A review of the Crozet Master Plan is slowly making its way through Albemarle County’s planning process and this is a good time to check in. Crozet is one of seven designated growth areas in Albemarle County, and the master plan has been in place since late 2004. On Wednesday, March 10, the Crozet Community Advisory Committee reviewed the draft land use chapter for the plan which sets the vision for the future of the unincorporated area. Planning Manager Rachel Falkenstein said they are in the third phase of the community process, where the actual chapters are written based on broad recommendations that have been discussed with community members in previous phases.“To kind of develop that content we’ve had all virtual engagement,” Falkenstein said. “Because of COVID, we’ve been virtual for this phase of work. Several CAC meetings through the summer and fall of 2020. We’ve had the online engagement opportunities, and then just feedback we’ve received through email, comments, discussions with community members and stakeholders.” There have also been two work sessions with the Planning Commission.(draft land use recommendations from September 2020) (draft land use map) (draft land use chapter) There are five goals in the draft plan:Goal 1: Support the continued revitalization of Downtown as the historic, cultural, and commercial heart of Crozet with distinctively urban design and support a mixture of uses in Crozet’s other designated centers of activity. Goal 2: Provide a variety of housing options that meet the needs of Crozetians at all income levels.Goal 3: Support existing neighborhoods and the historic context of Crozet through ensuring that new and infill development is compatible in design and scale with existing neighborhood fabric and allowing reuse of historic buildings. Goal 4: Maintain a distinct rural edge along Crozet’s boundary to provide a visual connection to its cultural heritage as a town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.Goal 5: Leverage and amplify Crozet’s artisan community, culture, history, and entrepreneurial spirit through creative placemaking projects and partnerships. “I’ll remind you that this is a working draft,” Falkenstein said. “There are some sections that need some work. We have some placeholders in there. We’re still developing graphics and images to support some of the narrative. The land use content itself is still a working draft. We have this meeting. We have public engagement that we’ll put online, and we have a Board meeting coming up. All of that feedback will continue to refine the draft as we go along.”At this meeting, some CAC members wanted to get right into their critiques of the plan. Those five goals are in support of a new guiding principal . “Support and strengthen Crozet’s history as a self-sustaining town, while welcoming new and infill development that is compatible in scale and design and provides housing choice for all community members.”Staff had intended to go through a presentation before taking comments from CAC members, but Doug Bates said he wanted to get his comments out ahead. “And it’s at that very first guiding principle that I have my most fundamental question,” Bates said. “It says ‘Support and strengthen Crozet’s history as a self-sustaining town, while ensuring new and infill development that is compatible in scale and design… ’ with what? is my question. You can’t have a comparison with nothing.” “I think the intent was with the small town identity and the scale would be appropriate there, but we can take that feedback and look at revisions to clarify,” Falkenstein said. “Rachel, that’s great,” Bates rescinded. “I just know that things are in the eye of the beholder and if you don’t make it very specific, then it’s whatever you imagine it’s compatible to is the right answer. I would suggest that you compare it to the neighborhood model.” The Neighborhood Model is a zoning district in Albemarle that is intended to be used in the designated growth areas where developments are required to conform to 12 principles including pedestrian orientation, human-scale buildings, and redevelopment of existing buildings when possible. Image of 12 principles taken from appendix to the Comprehensive Plan, page A.8.3Tom Loach, a CAC member who also served on the Planning Commission from 2008 to 2015 called for the guiding principles to be removed in favor of keeping what is already in place. “There are already a set of guiding principles that were in the first master plan in 2004 and they were repeated in the second master plan in 2010,” Loach said. “There are seven guiding principles and I think we should stay with the guiding principles that have stayed with use for all of these years.” Image of seven guiding principles from the 2010 Crozet Master Plan, page 7Loach also wanted two statements inserted into the plan to retain guidance to limit future growth.“One statement is a restatement of the original intent of the consultants in the master plan that Crozet wouldn’t build out in about 20 years to a population of 11,200 to 12,000 and that we have reached that mark.” Loach said. Loach said his second statement would state that the existing infrastructure cannot support existing traffic. This came before a presentation of recommendations from staff such as “update residential zoning categories to remove barriers to housing affordability where appropriate such as minimum lot size requirements, minimum frontage requirements, and minimum parking standards.”Falkenstein carried on with her presentation on land use changes.“The majority of the land use changes, this is to the map itself now, are kind of clean-up related changes to kind of do two things,” Falkenstein said. “To try to bring greater consistency across all of the county’s master plans in terms of our land-use categories and the second is to bring consistency with existing zoning where appropriate to make sure that expectations, you know, we set expectations for what development can happen when existing zoning is there to allow development.” Falkenstein said growth projections remain similar to the 2010 master plan in part because there are not many vacant parcels of land in Crozet. She said the new land use map doesn’t make too many significant changes. One change, though, is the creation of a “middle density residential” land use category. Other changes relate to downtown Crozet. “Themes of the feedback we’ve heard [include] concern about neighborhoods around downtown experiencing teardowns, and then also experiencing new construction that would be out of scale with some of those existing neighborhoods,” Falkenstein said. “So we’ve heard a desire for more protection for some of these homes, especially the historic homes and those are existing affordable housing in some of these neighborhoods.” Falkenstein said staff also had support for new housing types to add a little more density while not being out of scale, such as bungalow courts, duplexes and accessory units.” Staff suggested a downtown overlay district to allow that additional density, but also heard concerns from many.“Concern about inadequate infrastructure to support new density here and concern there was not enough clarity in it so that there is a cap on the density and the ‘infill’ wasn’t defined,” Falkenstein said. The new draft chapter recommends further architectural and cultural resources study to further inform how development might look in the future with an eye toward neighborhood preservation. Another recommendation is an acknowledgment that there may not be as much demand for commercial uses in some of downtown. Doug Bates said existing neighborhoods could not support that additional density. “Just because there may be more land behind some of these older homes, the roads do not support new growth at the expansion level that’s being described in this document,” Bates said. He said there be no higher density by-right than R-2, or two units per lot. “And if you want to build something more, you’ve got to ask if we can build something more,” Bates said. Loach said the draft reflected the words of the staff and not the words of the community. Before the meeting, he circulated a five page list of changes he wanted to see and said he would ask for a motion on his changes. (download Loach’s suggested changes)“Otherwise what’s going to happen is that we’re going to be here, we’re going to be talking, it’s going back to the staff and it’s going to go forward the way it is,” Loach said. Loach would have to wait to make his motion, as Falkenstein had not yet finished her presentation, which included details on the “middle density residential” category that is new to the updated plan. The idea is to encourage development of townhomes with accessory apartments.“We pulled feedback from the community survey kind of two sides of the coin here,” Falkenstein said. “One is that there’s not enough affordable housing or increasing the availability is very or somewhat important to the community, but also limiting growth is important as well so trying to strike that balance was what we were trying to do with this category.”Falkenstein said the Planning Commission had supported this concept, but Loach objected and said they and staff were overstepping their bounds. “So, let me get this right,” Loach said. “This is no longer the Crozet Master Plan, this is now the Planning Commission and staff master plan. Because we voted against middle density and here we are back with it again.”Votes by the Community Advisory Committees, and the Planning Commisison, are not binding. CAC member Joe Fore said the vote against middle density had been based on an earlier definition that had a higher density. He supported the updates staff had made. “I very much appreciate Rachel and staff’s tweaking of the middle density category,” Fore said. “I really like this definition and I think this gets at…I appreciate the form recommendations, the scale recommendations. I do think, Tom, the point of whose plan this is, I do think a lot of this in terms of the form guidance… tiny houses, accessory units, cottages, bungalow courts, that kept coming up at meetings where people were putting stickers on things and saying what they liked and wanted to see more of.”Fore said he was disappointed that the middle density residential wasn’t shown on many more areas of the map, which would mean those kinds of units won’t be built. Loach interjected.“Joe, we voted on this,” Loach said. “I understand you like it, but we voted on it. If you want to redo the vote, based on the new information maybe that’s something we should think about.”Fore tried to respond, but Loach kept talking until Chair Allie Pesch told him to let Fore finish.“I’m just suggesting Tom that the thing we voted on previously has been changed,” Fore said. “It’s not what it is now. We voted on something that is now different.”The presentation continued. Next were changes to the section of Crozet were the Old Trail Development is to reflect what’s been built and to better align terminology used in other master plans, such as the Pantops Master Plan. Tori Kanellopoulos is another county planner. +“With our public feedback online as well we heard support for designating Old Trail as a village center and heard it needs to continue to be a distinct and secondary center of activity compared to downtown and heard the same feedback about why Crozetians visit Old Trail for those gathering, shopping, and recreational uses,” Kanellopoulos said. The Board of Supervisors will have a work session on the draft land use chapter on April 7. Before then, many Crozet residents want their views heard and they took that opportunity at the CAC meeting.“I’m Matt Helt, born and raised in Crozet, and live off of St. George Avenue. I’m going to drop about fourteen things.”Let’s hear the first two. “One, infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructures. We’ve talked about it. We’ve beat the dead horse. Sidewalks, bike lanes, parks. It doesn’t matter what zoning you do. We need the infrastructure investments, period. No more ifs, and or buts or excuses from the county, period. Number two, whatever zoning allowed the development of the apartments on Jarmans Gap Road, or the intersection of Jarmans Gap Road and Blue Ridge should be banned from Crozet permanently. Quite frankly it should be demolished. If we’re going to say it’s providing low-income housing, I would love for the county to produce a survey that shows any of the residents who moved into those apartments are former residents of Crozet who needed low-income housing.”Helt was referring to the Vue, a 126-unit development under the R-6 zoning built by Pinnacle Construction on land that Piedmont Housing Alliance had previously intended to build at a slightly lower density. A historic home was demolished to make way for new buildings, prompting a lot of concern. Helt also took aim at those who spoke from Old Trail, revealing a divided community.“Really interesting perspective from the Old Trail Community, I greatly appreciate your sentiment but I don’t know that you recognize the irony in your statements,” the speaker said. “For those of us who grew up here, played in those fields and sixth-grade science class in Slabtown Branch Creek, I’m glad you finally are opposed to more dense zoning. I would have preferred Old Trail not be developed either, but we’re 20 years past that conversation.”Loach wanted to keep on with the critique of the plan, but Pesch suggested waiting until the public comment period opens. There’s a lot more time to continue these discussions. What do you think? Leave a comment if you can. This is a public episode.

Today we are re-running an episode. This is the first time we've ever done this. It's an episode that initially premiered last July with artist manager Jonathan Azu. This is in honor of Black History Month this month because Jonathan and I had a really illuminating conversation about how to repair racial inequities in the music business. We also discuss how our industry, at the executive level, is so white. Specifically in Billboard Power 100, there's only one black person in the top 50. Jonathan has some ideas as to why and how we can help repair those disparities.Jonathan Azu is also a member of the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC), which I spoke about last week with Dina LaPolt who is one of the founding members. Jonathan also recently launched the Diversity in Music. It is the first ever employment talent directory for underrepresented women and minorities in music.Jonathan Azu is an artist manager for artists like Cory Henry, Luke James, Emily King, and Michelle Williams among others. He used to be the executive vice president and general manager of Red Light Management. He is also a two-time Billboard magazine 40 Under 40 power player. Over a year ago, he launched his own management company called Culture Collective.A Forbes 2017 article outlined that hip-hop and R&B genres are responsible for 25% of all music consumption and over 29% of all on-demand streams across the United States. However, executives of color are still relatively scarce atop major music companies. The top 10 out of 10 on the Billboard Power 100 list are all white, and there's only two people of color in the top 50. Azu breaks this down on why he thinks this is and how to fix it because it's a problem.--Diversity in Music: https://diversityinmusic.org--Quick links:3:14 - How Jonathan Azu and his artists have been doing since touring has been shut down11:44 - What Azu's artists are doing in quarantine - how they are staying busy14:59 - Artists doing live streaming events17:47 - About Culture Collective and Azu's journey to get to where he's at today28:01 - Advice to white colleagues asking for advice on curbing systemic racism in the music industry34:27 - About The Black Music Coalition38:09 - Lack of racial diversification in the Billboard Power 100 list40:29 - Shifting internships to paid internships and going outside typical recruiting tactics - should there be mentorship programs?42:12 - Would reparations be the correct route to approach racial injustices in the music industry?53:02 - Are people losing interest in the black lives matter movement?58:04 - Was having an all black roster for Culture Collective intentional?1:03:59 - Azu's artist Emily King two Grammy nominations--Connect with Ari’s Take:Website: https://aristake.comAcademy: https://aristakeacademy.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aristake_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aris.takeTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArisTakeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aristake1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aristake/Connect with Ari...

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Matt Urmy over Zoom video! The East Nashville-based singer/songwriter Matt Urmy muses on the duality of the human experience today with the release of his new concept album ‘South of the Sky.’ Inspired by Willie Nelson’s two-sided narrative album ‘Phases and Stages,’ Urmy’s ‘South of the Sky’ attempts to explore and celebrate the multi-dimensionality of human life. Early praise for ‘South of the Sky’ has come from American Songwriter who said the music “boldly dives headfirst into the multi-dimensionality of human nature” and NPR Music, who featured early album singles “Raging Hearts” and "Blind" in their New Music Friday playlists. Each song on the album has a mirror image of itself on the opposite side. While Side A single “Helpless Fool,” is a moment of self-introspection, “Family,” on the other end, examines outward interactions and how one's actions and relationships with others can help inspire and ignite change.Also an accomplished entrepreneur, father and author, Urmy was recently featured on The First Act podcast where he spoke about his company Artist Growth, a cloud-based software which helps streamline workflow for music industry professionals. In the episode, Urmy dove into his expertise and perspective on how indie artists can use social media to connect with and grow their audience.Urmy also recently released his first-ever children’s book, Go Ask The Moon, which follows its non-binary protagonist Hoo, as they attempt to discover what makes them unique. As Hoo attempts to find the peace of a good night’s sleep, as well as passion, they come across various creatures of the night who help guide them. The book follows Urmy’s two previous collections of poems, Ghosts In A House (2007) and The Rain In The Bell (2015). More about Matt UrmyBorn in New York City and raised in Nashville, TN, Matt Urmy is a singer/songwriter, poet and entrepreneur. He founded Artist Growth, a cloud-based artist management & record label collaboration platform, which services both Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group as well as artist managers at companies like Red Light Management, Vector Management, C3, Maverick, ROAR and many others. Urmy lives and works in Nashville with his partner Jaime - a pastry chef at popular East Nashville restaurant Lockeland Table - and their two boys, Ezra and Ocean. Matt’s debut album, 2017’s Out Of The Ashes, was a Rolling Stone favorite and compelled them to call Urmy, who dueted with the late John Prine on the album, an Artist To Watch.

Today is the 120th episode of a program I’ve been producing since July 13, and builds on the dozens of episodes of the Charlottesville Quarantine Report. It’s all brought to you by the many people who have made a financial contribution this year to support the daily information I put together for the general public. I sincerely appreciate it, and every new Substack subscriber or Patreon supporter helps me feel like I’ve made the right choice this year. I will continue into 2021 and beyond, and you all have my sincere thanks for making that an option. And to those who haven’t paid? That’s okay! Just make sure you send the work along to others so we can grow the audience together. On today’s show:Virginia posts another one-day record for COVID casesThe Blue Ridge Health District builds a big tent for vaccinationsThe Virginia Department of Health gives a briefing on vaccinesAlbemarle County government provides its own year in reviewIn the podcast, a quick sound collage of bloopers and weird sounds*The final day of the year brings the highest case one-day count yet in Virginia with 5,239 new cases reported by the Commonwealth’s Department of Health. There have been another 48 deaths bringing the total now to 5,032 in Virginia since March. The seven-day average for positive PCR tests is now 13.2 percent, the highest that figure has been. In the Blue Ridge Health District, there are another 125 new cases today, the second-highest one-day total. That figure includes 52 from Albemarle, 21 from Charlottesville, 19 from Louisa, 15 from Fluvanna, 13 from Greene, and five from Nelson. *In a moment, we’ll hear from Ryan McKay from the Blue Ridge Health District on plans to expand the number of vaccinations administered locally. But first, members of the press had the opportunity yesterday to ask detailed questions of the person heading up Virginia’s COVID vaccination efforts. Christie Gray is the director of the immunization division at the Virginia Department of Health. “As of this morning, December 30, Virginia had received approximately 285,000 vaccine doses from two manufacturers and has administered 54,295 doses to people in the Commonwealth,” Gray said. However, Gray said Virginia had expected to have 370,000 doses by the end of the year, today, but failed to meet that goal. Still, doses were distributed.“Eighteen Virginia hospitals received the initial shipment of the Pfizer vaccine the week of December 18 and is dispersing those shipments of 72,125 doses to our frontline health care workers,” Gray said. “Virginia also received approximately 140,000 doses of Moderna vaccine the week of December 23 and both the previously approved Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are being distributed to 96 sites geographically dispersed throughout the Commonwealth.” Gray said Operation Warp Speed has estimated Virginia will get about 100,000 doses total from of both vaccines each week for the month of January. So far, the federal public-private partnership has failed to meet expectations.“The actual amount of the vaccine received in Virginia is a moving target and is dependent on when and how quickly vaccination doses are manufactured,” Gray said. Currently we are in Phase 1A, where vaccines are to be reserved by front-line health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities. This week, some employees of the Blue Ridge Health District received the shot. Across Virginia, the first long-term care residents are to have received the vaccine on-site through the partnership with CVS and Walgreens. Gray pointed people in the direction of the new VDH vaccination dashboard, but said the numbers posted would lag behind the actual numbers. The next decision point is to determine who exactly in Phase 1B and 1C will be in line to receive the vaccine. “Virginia is awaiting recommendations by the Virginia Unified Command and the Virginia Disaster Medical Advisory Committee to make final recommendations on priority groups 1B and 1C,” Gray said. That could happen by the end of this week.During the question and answer period, reporters wanted to know why there were delays in getting the vaccine distributed. Gray acknowledged the process has been slow.“Dealing with new systems and operations at this scale it is expected to be slower at the beginning but we are expecting to increase our efficiency over time and I would like to say that 47,000 doses in two weeks is not a small number and we are proud of our Virginia providers for accomplishing that,” Gray said. Dr. Denise Bonds received a Moderna dose this week. Credit: Blue Ridge Health *Locally, vaccinations will be administered in the parking lot of the former KMart at the intersection of U.S. 29 and Hydraulic Road. Ryan McKay is the director of policy for the Blue Ridge Health District. “On Monday, we begin providing access to Phase1A so it’s really non-hospital affiliated health care providers and we’re really working on that access for EMS providers, for individuals who work in dialysis centers and through Region 10 where their staff are working in residential facilities”, McKay said. This will begin the mass vaccination campaign that the Blue Ridge Health District will run. They’re doing so with assistance from Red Light Management and the Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band. Skyline Tent will build a temporary structure under which the vaccines will be administered for several months in a large, roomy space that will allow for physical distancing. “We established this relationship really quickly,” McKay said. “I think we met with them on site a week ago yesterday and we talked out a few different options and based on what they were able to provide this modular structure that we put up over the course of the next few days. And then we’ll open it up next week and that really allows us to maximize our staff capacity and really get people in and out as efficiently, safely, and effectively as possible. One of the rate-limiting factors in all of this is that people have to wait 15 to 20 minutes after they get vaccinated to assure they’re not going to have a severe adverse reaction like anaphylactic shock.”Such incidents have so far been rare. McKay said there will be neighborhood level clinics as well as more and more vaccines doses are provided. *It’s the last day of 2020, and Albemarle County has released a 15 minute video that reflects on what local government has been up to this year. (watch the video)“Hi, I’m Jeff Richardson and I’m the county executive for Albemarle County government,” Richardson said. The video was to have been shown to the Board of Supervisors at their final meeting of the year, but an ice storm that day ended the meeting early.“A lot of the work that has taken place over this very challenging year specifically related to COVID, the pandemic, and the response responsibilities that our government has faced over the past year.” The video also mentions what many consider one of the most important actions taken by the Board of Supervisors this year. Here’s Siri Russell, the county’s director of Equity and Inclusion. “Following a months-long community engagement process, the Board of Supervisors voted to remove the Confederate monument known as At Ready from Court Square,” Russell said. “So many departments came together to pull this off. So many individuals went above and beyond to really create a community moment that was safe, engaging, inclusive, and ultimately effective.” Siri Russell, Albemarle’s Director of Equity and Inclusion, at the location where a Confederate monument stood until this year. There’s also an update from the Office of Housing. Here’s Philip Holbrook, housing program manager.“This year we’ve been busy, we’ve been able to accomplish a lot even in the midst of COVID,” Holbrook said. “The “[Housing Choice Voucher] 90 is probably one of our biggest program pushes that we’ve been doing which is an ongoing program that we’ve had for years, however, we’ve been expanding the number of local families that we’ve been able to provide subdisides to through our housing choice voucher program. Ninety new families are going to receive vouchers by the end of 2020.” Take a look at the full video to learn more about what various departments in Albemarle have been up to. Let’s close it out with Jeff Richardson“In closing it’s been an unbelievable year,” Richardson said. “We have a phenomenal community that is very resilient and we have an organization that continues to be prepared to serve our citizens and residents of this county. I could not be more proud of our organization. I wish you the best and we are all excited about 2021.” This is a public episode.

The Nu Deco Ensemble does something quite different. They were formed in 2015 and are an eclectic orchestra with members from all over the country. They're known for doing collaborations with pretty big artists like Ben Folds, Jacob Collier, Wyclef Jean, and Emily King to name a few. Their upcoming season starts October 29th, 2020, and this year is going to be quite different due to COVID-19. They're going to be livestreaming all of their performances.Nu Deco Ensemble's manager is Andrew Leib from Red Light Management.

Today’s Patreon-powered shout-out:The Local Energy Alliance Program wants you to consider a Home Energy Check-Up as the first step toward lowering your energy bills. For a $45 consultation, Albemarle and Charlottesville residents can have their homes audited to see what can be done to reduce energy consumption. Sign up today!”*There are another 1,183 new cases of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth today as reported by the Virginia Department of Health. The seven-day average for positive tests has increased to 4.8 percent, up from 4.7 percent on Thursday. The Blue Ridge Health District added another 40 cases with 14 new cases in Albemarle and 18 in Charlottesville. Another death was reported from Charlottesville bringing the total to date to 32 in the city and 75 in the entire Blue Ridge Health District. The seven-day average for positive PCR tests remains at 3.2 percent today. However, that increases to 3.5 percent when you factor in all the kinds of tests. The University of Virginia reports 105 active cases as of Thursday, with 78 of those students. There have been 1,019 cases among UVA personnel since August 17. Ten percent of quarantine rooms are in use as are six percent of isolation rooms. The Blue Ridge Health District is within the Virginia Department of Health’s Northwest Region. According to the agency’s pandemic metrics page, the region has seen an increase in the number of cases over the past 16 days though percent positivity has been decreasing for 37 days, as are the number of outbreaks and the number of affected health care workers. The VDH deems the region as being “at moderate community transmission.” Virginia’s Central Region is at “substantial community transmission” according to the metrics page. *The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s Board of Directors was briefed last night on the status of long-planned public housing redevelopment projects. “We want to add to our community’s inventory of affordable housing,” said Dave Norris, the CRHA’s redevelopment director. “We haven’t finalized what that number is going to be yet but we are confident in saying over the course of this redevelopment effort we’re going to add hundreds and hundred of new units of affordable housing to the city’s stock.” Norris said the CRHA gets one annual subsidy from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development but he said it does not cover the annual cost. “It’s never sufficient and it hasn’t provided and it doesn’t provide the funding we need to maintain our housing stock and operate the agency it really should be operated,” Norris said. “Through redevelopment we are incorporating new streams of financing that will put us in more of a sustainable position.” Norris said ground is soon to break on the $19 million renovation of Crescent Halls, which will see 105 rebuilt units. The work will see two floors under construction at any given time. “The skeleton of the building is in decent shape so we’re not having to knock down the building,” Norris said. The other imminent project is a two-phase redevelopment of South First Street with the first step being 62 new units and a community center constructed on a current ball field. When that is completed in 2022, existing residents of South First Street can be relocated into the new building, and 113 units will be built where the existing structure. A third phase at South First Street might also happen, as well as a renaming. “I think that’s going to be part of the upcoming resident planner conversations as we flesh out the plans for phase 2,” Norris said. Financing for the projects comes through the federal and state Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, $5 million from the Dave Matthews Band, $10 million from Red Light Management, and $15 million in capital improvement program funds from the city of Charlottesville. “All told we’ve now secured commitments if not actual funding for over $70 million in the last year and a half for our redevelopment efforts,” Norris said. Norris said construction will begin a month after the financing deals are completely close. City Council will consider a funding agreement at their meeting on Monday. *Albemarle County has unveiled the latest update of its development dashboards, which track the number of residential units and other buildings that are working their way from proposal to occupancy. The website states there are currently 53 active construction projects in Albemarle and that another 11 projects are under review. Visitors to the site can filter results based on where they live. (dashboard)*The Virginia Department of Health has lifted a harmful algae advisory that had been in place in parts of Lake Anna. The Middle Pamunkey Branch of Lake Anna had been under an advisory for some time but samples taken in mid-September and earlier this month indicate safe levels. Some species of algae contain hazardous toxins that are harmful if accidentally swallowed. (press release)*Time is running out to apply for the second round of Albemarle County’s Community Lift Grants, which is intended for nonprofits. Groups can apply for up to $50,000 toward lost revenues and would-be applicants are asked to fill out an inquiry form by Monday. On Monday, Charlottesville will open up the second round of grants to city businesses. This round will offer up to $825,000. Grants of up to $10,000 are available. Both programs are funded through the federal CARES Act. *Tonight, Live Arts will debut another program as part of its Forge Ahead season. However, the theater company is moving away from Facebook Live in favor of the YouTube platform. Live Arts will hold another Coffeehouse performance tonight this time with Four County Players. Musical performances by Shannon Montague, Doug Schneider, and Kristen Bell. Dance performance by Mariko Schaper Doktor and Perry Medlin. The Coffeehouse will be hosted by Edward Warwick White and Linda Zuby. In addition, Live Arts is also selling tickets to virtual performances this weekend of the play Lost Home, Win Home by playwright Shelby Marie Edwards. The show “follows the individual perspective of a Black Charlottesville native as she recounts the events leading up to the Unite the Right/Neo-Nazi rally that occurred on August 12, 2017.” This is a public episode.

Today's episode was recorded live in Los Angeles in my guest's, Jonathan Azu, backyard. This was the first in-person interview I've done since the coronavirus shutdown and we've all been locked in quarantine. But Jonathan has a beautiful backyard where we could safely social distance, so we set up there. It was nice to be in the physical presence of somebody for once. I've missed that so dearly.Jonathan Azu is an artist manager for artists like Cory Henry, Luke James, Emily King, and Michelle Williams among others. He used to be the executive vice president and general manager of Red Light Management. He is also a two-time Billboard magazine 40 Under 40 power player. Over a year ago, he launched his own management company called Culture Collective.We talk about how he shifted his business model now that live touring is shut down. We also talk about how the music industry can be more racially diverse and equitable, specifically how music companies can address the racial inequalities that exist at an executive level but really all levels.A Forbes 2017 article outlined that hip-hop and R&B genres are responsible for 25% of all music consumption and over 29% of all on-demand streams across the United States.

Check out the DEEP DIVE for this episode! Seth shares about creating a "Vivid Vision" and how you can use it as a framework to set goals for your music career and pursue them as fast as possible.Access the Deep Dive here: https://members.fullcirclemusic.com/made-it-in-music-deep-divesA&R, Creative Director at AltadenaFrom an early age, Noreen knew she wanted to be in music. From listening to her mom play piano to writing her own songs, music has been a huge part of her life.How do I listen to songs all day? That’s what I want to doStarting as an intern at BMG Publishing in Nashville and New York, Noreen realized her favorite thing to do and what she was good at was listening to other people songs.After finishing her internship, BMG offered her a position as a receptionist her last semester of school.I think you should be a publisher…The turning point for Noreen’s career was when her boss recommended a different career path to her. Up until that point, Noreen was struggling if she should become a songwriter, or stick to the business side of the music industry.Do the job, before you get the jobNoreen’s advice to people who want to grow in their career as a publisher, even as an intern, is to create a job for yourself before people ask you to. As a receptionist at BMG, Noreen researched how to get writers in a room together, how to get emails of people to pitch songs to, and all other aspects of getting a song heard. She decided Pop was her ticket in and started focusing her attention to getting pop into Music City before anyone thought it was even a possibility.Now, she looks for this quality in assistants and coordinators. What are you doing now to advance yourself? Who are you working with already? What are you doing because you love it, even if you don’t get paid for it.AltadenaAs a Creative Director, Noreen’s role is to get artist’s in a room to set up cowrites or sessions that will hopefully turn into a song placement for the writers. She also listens to songs submitted by her writers and provides feedback to help improve the songs and hopefully get them placement.What does Altadena do? They serve as a hub for writers, artists, and producers where Altadena serves as the intermediary between an artist’s label, publishing company, or management company. Their partnerships are Warner Chapel on the Publishing side, Warner Records for label and print, and the management partnership with Red Light Management. Altadena keeps artists from feeling forgotten and falling through the cracks. Some of their talent includes Carley Peirce, Ryan Griffin, Conor Matthews, and more.Listen as Noreen expands on how she brought Pop to Nashville and how they are trying to keep Nashville pop competitive with the rest of the country.Follow Seth on Instagram: ➜https://instagram.com/thesethmosleyThis episode is part of a podcast SERIES called "Made It In Music."

Nathan Barley Phillips in the TuneCore London office speaks with Jamie Osman, a manager with Red Light Management and the founder of Easy Life records, about when artists should look for a manager and what exactly a manager can offer to new and established musicians. Starting as a local promoter in Buckinghamshire in 2005, Jamie Osman was a 16-year-old who just wanted to put on gigs for his mates. By 2008, he was running shows in six venues across the county putting on bands such as You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon, and Enter Shikari creating a bubbling community for rock music in an otherwise sleepy area. At age 19, Jamie ventured into management signing a small UK rock act called Deaf Havana. Within four years, they had signed to BMG, sold 100,000 albums, and sold out the prolific Shepherds Bush Empire and London Round House. This led onto similar success with UK rock act Lower Than Atlantis who went on to sell out Brixton Academy and sell 150,000 albums globally. With a growing roster of acts, Jamie partnered with the global management giant Red Light in 2013. Helping to set up the U.K office. In 2014 he opened Easy Life records in conjunction with Sony, an independent rock label which has gone on to sell over 150,000 albums in three years. With seven top 40's and numerous radio 1 playlists, it's been an exceedingly successful venture going independent in 2017 to offer artists more flexible global deals. Coupling management with the label has enabled Jamie to be forward facing in an ever changing business leading him to win Music Week's 30 under 30 at age 25. With a continually growing business within Red Light that now includes Marshmello, Bastille, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Everything Everything, Oh Wonder, Interpol, Lower Than Atlantis, and more, Red Light management goes from strength to strength with seven offices across the globe. With a career spanning nearly 14 years, despite just yet being 30, Jamie has also lectured Music Management and Marketing at Bucks Uni as well as being a panelist on numerous music industry events across Europe.

Welcome to my life...Imagine learning about country music directly from Emmylou Harris and her pedal steel guitarist, Steve Fishell. That was Tracy Gershon’s introduction to the genre.

Tracy talks about discovering Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves, and what is the “It” factor that A&R looks for. What is even A&R today? Tracy is an artist manager with Red Light Management and a co-founder of Change the Conversation. What’s the Conversation? Why do female artists face a significantly more difficult struggle than male artists in country music.
