San Antonio's makers and arts institutions, the band and the record as my own case study, artist management, and the live room where all of it has to work on the night.

A song is a small system, and a season is a large one. Players, presenters, managers and makers talk through the record, the rehearsal, the booking and the room, with the host's own band as the running example.
