Last month I had the pleasure of traveling to Austin, TX and working with the fine folks there – brainstorming on the future of music and in particular, the future of the live music business. Here is an updated version of my Global Music Business presentation that I gave at their incredible new City Hall.
“Live Music” is what Austin is all about. Austin actually has an official Division of the City of Austin dedicated to developing the music industry in town, effectively led by “music officers” Don Pitts and David Murry. They are devoting significant resources to seeing that the city’s future along with the future of all the musicians who live and work there are aligned with successful practices in the overall music business.
Here is my picture of their official music office “squad car”. All they need now is a flashing light like Steve McGarrett. I’m gonna bring them one the next time I visit. “Pull over Ma’am, is that Emo we hear…?”
How cool is that? Does your city have an official Music Division?
Great presentation.
Very informative slideshow. Seems like entrepreneurial skills will be needed to be a successful musician.
I’ve only been there once, but I had the pleasure to play there, and I hope to one day go back. Don’t they have music cops like that in Sweden?
Do you really want the government to be involved in music? Is there any refuge where someone can go to escape government?
Excellent presentation. Not sure about the “official office squad car” – is this the “Music Police”?
thanks

At first look i thought its Police car then found its Music logo… Live music contributing music industry ..feel the smell
Dave,
Thank you so much for making the trio down here. I look forward in seeing you next month at SXSW2012. To answer some of the comments. No we are not the music police. We actually work to ensure the clubs/venues can get through the city process when obtaining permits and licenses. In addition, we are launching some real programs to help promote Austin musicians to the global economy.
