Ep 21: Laneway Talks with Vince & Rob

Vince and Rob discuss the soft launch of Laneway Red, a music platform similar to Spotify and Apple Music, with no upfront fees and three membership tiers. Laneway Red aims to enhance artist-fan engagement through metrics and direct communication. They highlight the challenges of marketing on platforms like Spotify and Apple, contrasting them with Laneway Red's transparency. Robert shares his experience organizing a gig for young musicians, emphasizing the importance of stagecraft, tuning, and sound reinforcement. They discuss the benefits of real-world performance experiences and the potential for future collaborations to support emerging musicians. Vincent and Rob decided to chat away one day about the music business in their territory and from that discussion came the idea to create a podcast about our knowledge base. Vincent from the business side of things and Rob from the education side. Vincent has a 35 year history in entertainment, and Rob has just completed his Phd in Music at the University of Adelaide. Those backgrounds will bring about some real differences in what they interpret the music business is and how it operates. Join the guys for an hour of insights into the business.
