How Did Pskyo Steve Get Here?
from Spinning Platters presents: How Did I Get Here? Hosted by Spinning Platters
This week's guest is legendary Phoenix-based concert promoter Stephen Chilton, aka Psyko Steve. We talked about how he got his start putting on shows in high school, and how he turned that into a full time job. Or several full time jobs. We also talked about what it's like to open The Rebel Lounge. He is also the Board Vice President of NIVA - National Independent Venues Association, a coalition of over 3,000 venues, promoters, and festivals, working together to help keep each other afloat during this time when you can't run your business. Recently NIVA hosted the SOS Fest: 35 artists performed short sets in empty venues across America over a weekend, all streamed on NIVA's YouTube page. This fest was to raise money for a fund to help keep our independent venues afloat until they can reopen. You can still watch every set here, donate to this worthy cause here, buy merch here, and, most importantly, press Congress to pass the Restart Act here!
