The Stage

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.

Conversations in This Room

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.

01

The Record

Coffee Conversations by Julie Good and A Dog Named Mike was recorded in 2000 and released on March 13, 2001. How a record gets made once and then carried for 25 years, from the tracking room to more than twenty platforms.

02

Band Practice as a System

The rehearsal player at juliegood.com, with scrolling lyrics, keys, tempos and practice mixes, was built for a band spread across countries. Rehearsing well when the players are far apart.

03

The Live Room

Count ins, set lists, sound checks and what a full band asks of the person at the mic. Players, sound engineers and venue owners on the night itself.

04

The Business Behind the Night

Artist management, booking, settlement and the paperwork that lets a show happen twice. The side of the stage the audience never sees.

05

Makers of San Antonio

Painters, printers, potters and the institutions that present them: how a maker in this city gets seen, collected and paid.

Episodes in This Room

The first conversations in this room are being recorded now. Each one lands here with its player, show notes and transcript on release day.
