The Return Of Live Music Discussed At Virtal#HAPPENS For The Alternative Community
It was exciting to moderate a panel on “The Return Of Live Music” with Warren Christensen from Q Prime, Troy Hanson from Cumulus/WKQX/Chicago, and Eva Alexiou-Reo from FATA Booking Agency at the latest installment of Virtual#HAPPENS, a ZOOM Happy Hour for the Alternative community on April 1st. Here are some takeaways from the discussion: Everybody wants to tour in the fall and there is a venue shortage. There could even be a tour bus company shortage since some went out of business. Several tours will be announced over the next few weeks. Wrigley Field announced concerts for August but if they can only be 50% capacity nobody will make money and the events probably won't happen. Weathers was in the spotlight with their new single "C'est La Vie" and Nerf from KTCL/Denver did a Q&A with the band. Huge props to the #HAPPENS team Todd Sievers, Beatrix Danko, Ken Pittman, and Steve Walker for making it happen!

Kevan Kenney Goes Off The Deep End With Fousheé
Entercom National Alternative Night Jock Kevan Kenney (l) chatted with Fousheé (r) about how she began her music career, shared stories about her drastic rise to popularity and how it changed her life, plus she touched upon her highly musical upbringing. The New Jersey native, who now lives in L.A., admits to being a shy introverted kid, first stepped into the spotlight as a cast member on season 15 of The Voice. Fousheé said, “Deep End” was originally born from “a sample pack that I put together of different vocal clips. That was back when ‘Deep End’ was just the hook section of it, and someone picked that up and made a full song with it. Once TikTok got ahold of it, it just grew into another monster.” Check out the interview: https://www.radio.com/music/alternative/foushee-went-from-driving-lyft-to-the-deep-end-of-radio
