Hosted by William Paterson University's Dr. Stephen Marcone & Professor David Kirk Philp, the show airs live each Wednesday at 8pm on WPSC-FM, Brave New Radio. In this superb episode, Atomic Music Group agent Michael Kelly comes on for his second Music Biz 101 & More appearance. He specifically wanted to talk about PACS, not the political kind, but Performing Arts Centers. What are they? What do they pay? How does an artist get booked there? Michael goes into detail. Hint: If you're an indie artist, you don't necessarily need an agent to get into these. Listen and learn.
