Bruce Houghton joins the Music Biz Weekly podcast to discuss touring, COVID, and this precarious time for musicians
This is a particularly precarious time for artists, venues, and promoters thanks in large part to the resurgence in COVID cases and a patchwork of rapidly changing safety rules for both artists and fans.
I join Michael Brandvold on the Music Biz Weekly podcast to discuss the challenges of touring in the Fall and Winter of 2021.
Bruce Houghton is Founder and Editor of Hypebot and MusicThinkTank and serves as a Senior Advisor to Bandsintown which acquired both publications in 2019. He is the Founder and President of the Skyline Artists Agency and a professor for the Berklee College Of Music.

Thank you for sharing this information with us. In fact, I was very upset about all these restrictions, although I realized that these are just necessary precautions for the health of citizens. But how awful it is when a certain category of people simply cannot work precisely because there are such restrictions. I really sympathize with everyone who belongs to the musical circles in this situation. I myself have missed the concerts and their atmosphere terribly, so I sincerely empathize with everyone involved in this craft. Therefore, I look forward to the early restoration of all concerts and festivals.
Hello! Thanks for discussing this with me. I am really shocked by everything that occurs while some are dying from the coronavirus, and someone another may think that the vaccine isn’t safe to take, claiming that pharmaceutical companies are profiting from it. The ridiculousness of this situation is very hazardous. The understanding is required since future battles against illness will be nearly exactly like the original battle started by such individuals. I think the critical thought process will prevail in the end, and we will discover a cure for this deadly illness.
