The Concert of the Future: Interaction Between Artists
and Fans Will GrowSubmitted by Scott Goldberg on October 5, 2006 - Digital Media Wire.
From Digital Music Forum West 2006:
Kelli Richards, President and CEO of the All Access Group, hosted the
conference¹s final panel with the topic of live music being the focus.
Ms.Richards, co-author of The Art of Digital Music: 56 Visionary Artists
and Insiders Reveal Their Creative Secrets, says that artists will have
more of a role in the concert experience. It will be a multilevel campaign to
form stronger relationships with fans by alerting them through social
networks, personal blogs and webpages about upcoming shows, then
following up with them afterward and offering discounts on merchandise.
David Marcus, VP of Strategic Marketing and Business Development with
Ticketmaster, pointed to the fact that, "50% of concert tickets go unsold"
as a clear indication that steps need to be taken to close the gap with
the fan. Steve Macfadyen, VP of Operations, Concerts & Amphitheaters with
Houseof Blues, described one of the most recent advancements his company
has taken to bridge that gap: "We introduced a week ago text to your phone
that the on-sale has begun. It¹s going to buzz in your pocket right now,
and you'll say,Oh I forgot, it goes on sale today."
Another development in the concert experience is the interaction of the
fan with the show. In its most recent tour, Green Day, for example, posted
large screens behind the stage projecting text messages amongst
audience members. The goal is to make fans feel like they are more a part
of the show, and this in turn will strengthen the average person's desire to
attend concerts more frequently.
Fans also have the ability to watch concerts they¹ve just attended, or
decide if they want to purchase tickets for a coming show. Joshua James,
Co-Founder & CEO of Basecamp Productions, a company that records
concerts and sells them as downloads, said, "About an hour after the show,
you can download the entire thing."
The discussion turned to future developments in the concert experience.
Mr. Marcus said, "Getting fans the tickets they want, at the price they
want, at the time they want we're headed for that very quickly." One of the
biggest challenges the panelists believe they face is the idea that people find
out about shows after they have happened. No fan interested in attending
an artist's concert should miss the show because they didn¹t know it was
happening in the first place.
"We're headed for the artists¹ web site being a portal for everything,"
said Mr. James. "Especially for the bigger artists, that¹s where I see things
going." The panelists believe the reliance of the artists on their labels
will only decrease. "The artists are breaking off the shackles of the
labels," said Scott Fedewa, SVP and Executive Producer for Live Nation,
a concert search engine.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

USA Today article on Indie Music"Technology has changed things all the way through the chain," says Kelli Richards, a digital music pioneer who co-wrote The Art of Digital Music. "You can, in a garage, create (recorded) music that 10 years ago would've cost $100,000, and you can instantly reach a global audience."

Press Releases
McCartney Tribute CD News
Just got some news to share regarding the Paul McCartney Tribute CDs I
co-produced in 2003.There's a new book out called "Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop
Guide", by John Borack. It covers everything from the mid-sixties to the
present. They have a chapter on tribute albums and my McCartney Tribute CDs
were both tied for the number 7 spot (established artists & indie artists
covering McCartney's deep catalog cuts). So I'm pleased that with 40+ years
of music and tribute albums to consider -- ours finished in the Top 10. You
can find the book online here.

Digital Hollywood (Fall) -- Los Angeles, CA -- October 30, 2007
Panel moderator: "Digital Music & its Transformation: Downloads and
Subscriptions in Mobile, Broadband, iPods & Digital, & Internet Radio"
In this year of the continued rollout of new music services as well as the
arrival of broadband, mobile and wireless. Music is available to the
consumer, all over, all the time. Digital radio and Internet radio are
emerging. Technology and music seem to have taken that relationship to the
next level and the consumer seems to understand and embrace it. In this
session, rather than looking at the file-sharing past, we will look to the
new technology future.
After the lawsuits, after the consolidation, after the first attempts at
music subscription and download, we will in this session, try to evaluate
what the new music industry is going to look like. The era of digital music
delivery is here, but the details of how the industry will be structured are
still confusing. What will digital radio mean? What about all those music
channels on satellite and cable? What are the different ways that the
consumer will access music in the future? And will they be willing to pay
for it at acceptable levels to sustain the industry?
