In this episode of Music You're Missing, host Brendan Jeannetti sits down with Peter Boyd, the Talent Buyer for Boston Calling, to explore his unique journey into the music industry and the behind-the-scenes challenges of organizing a major festival. Peter's story takes us from his college radio days to his current role at one of Boston's most iconic events, all while offering invaluable insights for those looking to break into the industry.Peter shared that his career path was anything but linear. Starting as a college radio host, he stumbled into the music scene, eventually finding himself bartending at a live music venue in Boston. It was during this time that he began managing bands and booking shows—skills that would later be instrumental in his role at Boston Calling. He emphasized the importance of taking initiative, noting that he started booking shows simply because he was "bored" and felt stuck in the service industry. This entrepreneurial spirit set the foundation for his eventual leap into festival management.At Boston Calling, Peter and his small team orchestrate the three-day festival, which has grown into one of the city's premier events. Peter highlighted the importance of preparation, explaining that much of the festival's success hinges on detailed planning long before the gates open. "If everything is done correctly ahead of time, all you can do is wait for something to go wrong during the event," he explained, underscoring the unpredictable nature of live events.One of the key takeaways from the conversation was the importance of local talent to Boston Calling's identity. The festival is unique in its commitment to featuring Boston-based artists on its Orange Stage, giving lesser-known acts a platform alongside headliners like Megan Thee Stallion and Hozier. Peter described how booking local talent was a deliberate choice, helping these artists gain exposure while enriching the festival with a homegrown feel. He also stressed that for emerging artists, the key to getting noticed is not just having a strong online presence, but being active in the live music scene—whether that's through consistent gigging or putting yourself out there.This year's Boston Calling showcased Chapell Roan's rapid rise to stardom. Peter recalled how her main stage set at Boston Calling drew an unexpectedly massive crowd. He noted that while the festival's team saw her potential early on, even they were surprised by how quickly she connected with audiences. Her performance, he said, mirrored the kind of breakout moments Boston Calling has become known for, giving artists a chance to make an indelible mark on the festival circuit.For those aspiring to break into the music industry, Peter's advice was straightforward: be persistent and don't be afraid to start small. Whether it's managing a band, taking photos at shows, or volunteering at events, the key is to get involved and make connections. Reflecting on his journey, Peter emphasized that success in the music industry often comes from being in the right place at the right time—but more importantly, from being ready when those opportunities arise.Tune into this episode of Music You're Missing for more insider tips, stories from the festival circuit, and a deep dive into the creative chaos behind Boston's largest music event.

Paul Bacher is a live events industry pro. Growing up in Connecticut, just a stone's throw away from the bustling nightlife of New York City. Paul's mother was a musical theater fanatic and got him involved in piano, drum lessons at an early age which eventually led him to play in jazz ensembles, rock bands, acapella groups and more. After spending countless hours around music and venues, Bacher naturally gravitated towards the live concert business. Tenacity in mind, Bacher started cold-calling concert venues and asking if they needed any help. After landing a position at The Cutting Room, where he booked five shows with legendary comedian Dave Chapelle, he went on to book hundreds of local and national acts at The Knitting Factory Brooklyn and City Winery. Bacher's musical background and years spent booking shows in the independent New York club scene has made him a passionate and proactive promoter.  Special Mentions: Pepsi, Where's My Jet?, The Music Never Stops: What Putting on 10,000 Shows Has Taught Me About Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Magic – Peter Shapiro, Brooklyn Bowl Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia, Relix Magazine, The Capitol Theater, Becky Pell - Yoga Journey: A Contemporary Guide to a Timeless Tradition, Claire Murphy -  Girl on the Road: How to Break into Touring from a Female Perspective, Roadie Free Radio Merch, RFR Podcast Bundle, Follow Your Drishti Yoga Podcast, roadiecare.com, musicares.org, Roswell Pro Audio Mini K87, Soundgirls.org

Nashville-based live entertainment professional Jordan Anderson has over seven years of experience in the music industry. Since developing a passion for discovering and sharing music with friends at a young age, she knew music would always play a big role in her life. As a student in the music business program at University of Georgia, she interned with Brown Cat (management, Widespread Panic) and quickly realized she wanted to pursue the live side of the industry. After moving to Nashville and completing an internship with AEG, Anderson landed her first job at Marathon Music Works & Exit/In. Her continued love of music discovery eventually led to booking her first show – Rainbow Kitten Surprise’s first Nashville show in 2016, opened by LUTHI - a resounding sold-out success at Exit/In. RKS was signed by an agent and manager within the week, and Anderson began managing LUTHI not long after. She rejoined AEG full-time as a Marketing Manager and worked on some of her favorite shows of her career so far, from Brandi Carlile’s six-night sold-out run at the iconic Ryman Auditorium to Elton John’s final tour dates in the Southeast. Anderson's most recent role as a Talent Buyer for legendary promoter AC Entertainment allowed her to continue learning in an industry she is constantly inspired by.

Pam Matthews is a proven industry leader with four decades of experience in the entertainment business. She began her career at age fifteen as a runner for Mid South Concerts in Memphis. Today, she serves the live entertainment industry as Executive Director of one of its most influential trade organizations. Matthews toured as an accountant for KISS and Ozzy Osbourne in the early 80s and was part of the Pace Concerts (now Live Nation) team that designed, constructed, and managed Starwood Amphitheatre in Nashville. In 1988, after three seasons at 18,000+ capacity concert venue, Matthews accepted a marketing/accounting position with The Judds’ in-house booking agency and production company Pro Tours, Inc. In 1991 Pro Tours promoted 110 of the 128 sold-out concerts on The Judds Farewell Tour, which was second to the Grateful Dead as the highest grossing North American tour that year. As Wynonna began her solo career and restructured her business, Matthews joined the management side of the organization and eventually became Vice President & Treasurer of Wynonna, Inc. and J2K, Inc. As an officer of J2K, Inc., Matthews headed the multi-company team that produced The Judds’ sold-out New Year’s Eve 1999 concert and the 2000 reunion tour that followed. In 2000, Gaylord Entertainment selected Pam Matthews to be General Manager of Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. During her tenure, the Ryman became one of the top-grossing theaters in North America and received its National Historic Landmark status and numerous awards including its first-ever Pollstar Theatre of the Year, Academy of Country Music Venue of the Year, and IEBA Venue of the Year honors. In 2008, Matthews resigned her position at the Ryman to be with her husband, a decorated Special Operations Team Leader in the U.S. Army, while he was stationed at the Presidio of Monterey, California. Matthews and her husband, who is now a legislative attorney with the Tennessee General Assembly, settled back home in Nashville in 2012. Matthews joined IEBA as its Executive Director in 2013. Since then, the 50-year-old organization has tripled its membership and attendance at its annual conference continues to sell-out year after year. In 2017, IEBA established its Educational Outreach Fund, a 501(c)(3) charity that has endowed over $1M in scholarships at universities across the country and awards $75k annually to students seeking a career in the entertainment industry.Matthews attended Christ Church College, Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. In 1989, she passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination. During her career, Pam Matthews has been featured in numerous publications including Billboard, Pollstar, Better Homes & Gardens, and The Tennessean. In 2006, Billboard magazine ranked Matthews on its first “Women in Music” list. Recent honors include Nashville Business Journal “Women in Music City” and VenuesNow “Women of Influence.” Matthews has served on the Board of Directors of the Opry Trust Fund, Nashville Downtown Partnership, Leadership Music, and Americana Music Association, and currently serves on the Music City Music Council’s Leadership Forum and Leadership Music’s program committee. She is a frequent speaker and moderator at conferences and universities worldwide.https://ieba.org/Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9JCBNUCRNRVKY&source=url)

This is a special series on the people behind the entertainment industry and Covid-19. What is next? How do we come back?

I've known Tony Mason for quite some time. He was one of, if not the first person to put me in a real venue as a college student at CU Denver. A lot of local musicians can say that about Tony. He started off by putting together shows under his promotion company name, Tone Dynamix, and ended up as the senior talent buyer for Larimer Lounge, Lost Lake and Globe Hall. Recently, Tony informed the Denver music community that he'd been offered a new position booking for the Gas Monkey venues in Dallas, TX. His decision to leave what he built in Denver behind quickly became the biggest story in the local Denver music scene. Westword did two articles including a feature. Everyone and their mom asked him to be on their podcast (AND I GOT HIM!!!). Friends, family, co-workers and long lost open mic acts came out of the woodwork to bid Tony farewell and best of luck on his new adventure. In this episode, we talk about the reasons behind his decision to leave, what he has in mind for the future, and his family company that has been passed down from his great grandfather since 1912!
