The Hochatown Saloon Situation

Thursday Jun 29, 2023

This was an interesting episode... Incase you hadn’t heard, Hochatown Saloon in Oklahoma took over the Internet in the Summer of 2023 with their “Short List” update to their website.. for the low price of $100, you can buy onto a show as an opening act. What a bargain.. We dissect that whole situation and give our thoughts. This episode I was joined by Autumn Ragland and Alisa Compton. Check out our links below!

Ashleigh Thompson (Tour Manager for Bart Crow)

Wednesday Apr 19, 2023

Got the pleasure to sit down with Ashleigh Thompson recently. Probably one of the kindest people that I have ever met. Ashleigh is the Tour Manager for Bart Crow. We chat about her job: a lot of the ins and outs of Tour Managing, how to run a successful merch business, behind the scenes of production, merch splits and some of her pet peeves on the road. It was a really great chat! Go catch her smiling face at Bart's merch table at a show near you.

Kyle Tomchesson - Tour Manager (Bri Bagwell/Clay Melton)

Monday Mar 20, 2023

This was an awesome episode done with Kyle Tomchesson (Tour Manager)
Kyle has a ton of info in this episode on tour managing: how to be one, do you need one?, tips and pet peeves. Alisa Compton (co-host) is also a tour manager, so this one turns into huge discussion on a "how to" on TM'ing. Fantastic discussion. Highly recommended to anyone looking to work in the music industry/touring industry. Make sure to subscribe to the IMG Podcast for more episodes.

J.R. Carroll

Thursday Mar 09, 2023

Today we sat down with J.R. Carroll. An Oklahoma Native Singer-Songwriter with one hell of a journey on how he got to where he is at now. J.R. is not only one of the most humble people in the music industry, but is completely left-of-center on how he grew his fanbase, according to the background of most artists. We talk about his beginnings, his team, and his thoughts on streaming, TikTok, etc. Such a great episode, check it out and be sure to subscribe to/follow the IMG Podcast for more episodes.

Dalton Domino (Singer-Songwriter/Honcho Music Group)

Monday Feb 27, 2023

This was a phenomenal podcast. Dalton is a Texas Singer-Songwriter/Manager. Strap the f*ck in, because this one gets REAL. We chat about his beginnings, his path to becoming a staple in the Texas Music Scene, starting Honcho Music Group and everything in between. A very good podcast for up and coming artists to listen to, Dalton, Alisa and I give some VERY harsh but helpful knowledge about moving forward with your career in the music industry.

Friday Jan 27, 2023

Sat down with Alisa Compton and Autumn Ragland (of Ragland) and we had a long overdue chat about the art of booking. Why it's important to know how to sell yourself as an act, knowing what stage you are in regarding your career, knowing your potential target venues, and we even do a few role play phone calls as Agent and Talent Buyer. This was a fun one.
