Episode 108 - Hyacinth Belcher

Hyacinth Belcher, president/owner of production company Onstage Systems, talks to host Jaimie Siegle about how she’s been staying sane during quarantine and how her business — which survives off of tours, festivals, and live music events — has had to pivot during the pandemic. From staff furloughs to drive-in shows, Hyacinth shares her take on the industry. I also loved hearing about her Burning Man experiences, and how her Burning Man camp is helping to bring a virtual Black Rock City experience to viewers next month! **A HUGE THANK YOU to the National Independent Venue Association (@nivassoc) and the Houston Arts Alliance for sharing their messages in hopes that together, we can #SaveOurStages and keep the creative industry thriving.** If you’ve been enjoying our podcast, please support us by rating, subscribing, and sharing with your friends and family!
