In this episode of After the Gig, Jesse sits down with Patrick McAloon, an integral member of the Pat McGee Band and an artist relations professional at Sixthman. The discussion delves into Patrick's multifaceted career in music, from his early influences and family support to his current roles. Highlights include Patrick's journey in the music industry, the unique experience of working for Sixthman, and the importance of building a community among artists and fans. Patrick also shares personal anecdotes about his family, particularly his daughter Ruby, and the balance he strikes between his musical passions and professional commitments.
