Show notes
What is the future of live music venues? How are the few venues that are open creating a safe space for attendees to see their favorite artists? What really goes on behind the scenes of keeping their doors open and what can we do to save our stages?On today’s show, I talk about the current state of shows and how 3 specific venues in Austin, Far Out Lounge, Empire Control Room & Garage and Antone’s, have shifted their traditional event models to adapt to the current times. You’ll hear 3 VERY different perspectives on each of these venues and how you can help to save our stages so we can bring back live music safely and responsibly.To talk about this or anything on the podcast, find me on instagram at @atxconcertqueen or shoot me an email at [email protected] and please rate, review and subscribe to Please enjoy this very informative and eye-opening show about our Austin music venues and if you could please rate, review and share this episode with others! 4:37 The Beginning of the Pandemic in Austin6:30The Economics of Booking Concerts at Music Venues8:52Closing of Barracuda, One-2-One, Plush, Scratchouse11:05Three Different Austin Venue Perspectives 11:16 Venue #1 - Far Out Lounge - Lawrence12:26 Texas 51% Food Rule 14:03 The Far Out Lounge Compliance Standards16:23How to Support Far Out16:48NIVA vs. Austin Music Venue Donations Directly17:13Venue #2 - Empire Control Room & Garage - Aaron Owens17:23Update on Parish Venue - Podcast/Recording Studio18:15Empire Safety Protocols20:40Attending Shows Solo21:30Beginning Livestreaming/Live Show Hybrid22:12Why Tickets in general are more expensive for Shows23:52How to Support Empire24:30Venue #3 - Antone’s - Mallory Ferro25:29Operating as an Indoor Music Venue 26:04Comedy Night at Antone’s - Kill Tony podcast27:28The “Cliffie” Dog28:39How Antone’s Is Giving Back To The Community30:34 Ways to Support Antone’s31:25Bonus Venue: How to Support ACL LiveHost: Clarissa Cardenas - IG: https://www.instagram.com/atxconcertqueen/Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconcertqueenVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenMake sure to tune in every Wednesday for a new episode of the “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ to our channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Listen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com) IG : https://www.instagram.com/the.souz/
