Tiffanie DeBartolo, CESG &amp; Co-Founder of  Bright Antenna Records, rightfully recognizes being a woman in the music industry as an asset. “I am not afraid to bring vulnerability to my work,” she says. “I have parts that are soft and tender. I also have steadfast parts important for me to bring to the world, whether it’s my work or personal life.” Raised in Youngstown, Ohio, DeBartolo saw mainstream acts, as well as all the metal bands who passed through the area. Then, a “life-changing” U2 concert brought the realization music was a part of her deeper psyche. Cut to 2007, DeBartolo co-founded Bright Antenna Records - before the digital release reigned supreme. But her commitment to the artists and building a steel-solid team led to success in uncharted territory. DeBartolo brings an empathy in her approach to her label clients in a way that is often lacking in the music industry at large. Her ability to listen to and interpret her artists’ needs builds unyielding trust. For DeBartolo, artist support is multi-tiered. She is known for housing bands while on tour, cooking family-style spaghetti and meatballs (nonna’s recipe), taking bands paintballing or on tropical retreats, and even baked homemade cookies for everyone at Bright Antenna and hand delivered them at the outset of COVID. She flew The Wombats on a chartered plane to a Redrocks show that absolutely needed to be played to break them. Then, did it again with Wilderado so they could make their Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance. But there is also that deeper level of support. Kyle Nicolaides of Beware of Darkness cites how one-on-one sessions with DeBartolo literally saved his life twice during dark periods. She has also personally covered therapy costs for some artists.  “This is why we do it,” DeBartolo says. “I want to ensure that all the artists I work with can make a living doing this, which can be very challenging. I want songs I put out to change the world. I want the songs to mean something to people the way it meant to me growing up.”  https://www.brightantenna.com/ © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#276 - Welcome To The Wild West of the Music Industry

Sitting in the guest co-host chair today, the creator, producer, co-host of the “2 Dudes Talk Money and Music Podcast”, and all around nice guy, John Adams joins us as we have a discussion with entrepreneur Vince King, music publisher and hit songwriter Trey Bruce, and logistics industry expert Stacy Hart. The music industry is a constantly evolving thing, whether you live and work in Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin, São Paulo, or Nashville. Each city has their own music scene, along with the corporate infrastructure to help guide it along. In the case of Nashville, the Music Row that so many of us worked back in the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s, is no longer there. Vince King, Trey Bruce, and Stacy Hart share their vision of the new endeavor called “The Hanger”. A facility designed for artists to create, build, program, and rehearse their concert touring systems before their tours begin, this campus will provide the ultimate artist experience, with everything from songwriting rooms, to state of the art meeting spaces, and large rehearsal facilities with full catering and staff as needed. © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#275 - The Hanger... Music Row 2.1

Copenhagen Denmark based Jesper Skibsby was the manager of Danish band “Few Wolves”. Out of the blue he found out that their music was being played on the radio in Poland, but he couldn’t find any truthful or accessible data provider that could validate this information for the band. And so the story begins, Jesper found himself questioning the lack of transparency in the music industry and the way they make it difficult for music creators to access their airplay data.  As a music entrepreneur, Jesper was motivated to find a proper solution to eliminate this barrier. It was only a matter of time until he got himself immersed in research and key conversations which made him realize a major opportunity that could shake up the music industry. And so, the project we know today as WARM (Worldwide Airtime Radio Monitoring) saw an open door to get started. Jesper is the Founder and CEO of WARM. https://www.warmmusic.net/faq © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#274 - European Radio... A Whole Different Ballgame

If you’re a Country music or Bluegrass music fan, you’ve most likely heard his voice on WSM Radio, along with Sirius XM’s “Bluegrass Junction. You might have even heard him as the voice of the “Grand Ole Opry” on occasion. Kyle Cantrell is now launching a new radio program titled “Banjo Radio”. He started in radio going back to 1980. Kyle is the true epitome of what we used to call a “Disc Jockey”. He was a natural for the radio format. Kyle Cantrell can hardly remember a time when he didn't want to be in radio. As a young boy, he became fascinated with the sound of the voices and music coming out of his grandmother's tube filled radio. The sounds of Noontime Neighbors and the Grand Ole Opry from WSM in Nashville, and Paul Harvey's distinctive voice over WSIX were some of his earliest radio memories. Studying broadcasting and the recording industry first at the University of Tennessee and later at Middle Tennessee State, Kyle landed his first radio job in the summer of 1980 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee's WMTS. Then, in 1982, WSM called him to join the staff, and in 1985, at the age of 23, he took his place on stage as an announcer on the station's Grand Ole Opry. In 2003, he left WSM and began a syndication company to syndicate his own classic country music show to more than 160 radio stations across the country. Then, in 2005, he was tapped by Sirius' satellite rival, XM, to take over the programming of their bluegrass channel. Spreading his love for radio, as well as country and bluegrass music, is a continuing passion for Kyle. Now today, through Banjo Radio, a venture he launched in 2023, he continues to interact with fans all over the world. www.banjoradio.com © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#273 - Is This The New Future of Radio?

Meet Mo3AD, TJ Dub, MOOk13, and JCreexh.These four musical brothers who hail from Ohio, make up the group “HBK”. Their musical influences stem from Bruno Mars to Ed Sheeran to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lil’ Wayne Bon Jovi, and Nirvana, to unlikely musical legends such as Frankie Valli, Frank Sinatra and Etta James. HBK joins us in the studio (along with a few members of their entourage) to talk about how the band came to be, what influences when creating their music, the building process involved with four creative minds, and expanding beyond the boundaries of genres. We also talk about their new video, and exactly what “HBK” means (you have to listen to the episode to find out). https://theheartbreakkings.com/ © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

We also talk about their new video, and exactly what “HBK” means (you have to listen to the episode to find out). <a href="https://theheartbreakkings.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://theheartbreakkings.com/</a> © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC <ul> <li> Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella </li> <li> Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender </li> <li> Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC </li> <li> Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella </li> <li> Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle </li> <li> Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment </li> <li> All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas </li> <li> Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse) </li> <li> Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN </li> <li> Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY </li> <li> Production Sound Design: Keith Stark </li> <li> Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson </li> </ul> Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy. <a href="http://www.businesssideofmusic.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Website:</a> If you would like to be a guest on the show, please submit a request to: <a href="mailto:musicpodcast@mail.com">musicpodcast@mail.com</a> If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor for the show, let us know and we’ll send you a media / sponsorship kit to you.

#272 - 1 Percent Better a Day is a 1000 Percent Better Next Year

Following the dreams of her best friend who moved to New York City to play guitar for John Lennon, Sandra Furton Gabriel, she discovered that she loved having that All Access pass that got you backstage, but she didn’t want to be an entertainer. Starting out doing odd jobs, she soon found herself interning at Rogers &amp; Cowan, the internationally recognized public relations firm. Although that job didn’t pan out, she wound up transcribing tapes for Sam Merrill, who was doing interviews for Playboy Magazine. That in turn led to a gig with D.I.R. Broadcasting, where she was hired to book talent for comedian Robert Klein’s radio show, and the rest is history. Sandra soon found herself becoming the producer for a newly developed TV show with a young comedian by the name of David Letterman. Now it was only a matter of booking guests for the show. It sounds easier than it was, but needless to say that the role was full of challenges including guests who didn’t know who David was (actor Peter O’Toole had no idea who Letterman was), those that didn’t show up at all (drummer Levon Helm of “The Band” fame), and actor Bill Murray (the very first guest on “Late Night With David Letterman”) who wandered off the set before taping, who finally arrived in the studio just as he was being announced. After leaving Letterman, she went on to produce “The Joan Rivers Show” up until Joan started her home shopping show. Sandra went on to create a daytime talk show pilot tentatively titled “Girlfriends”, featuring women of different views, cultures, and ethnicities, and pitched it to ABC Television. Unfortunately the show didn’t get picked up, but in Sandra’s words, “The View” came out of her proposal, although she was left out of the production. She went on to file a lawsuit against ABC and Barbara Walters, but lost in the end. Picking herself up, and dusting herself off, she went on to work with actress, producer, and syndicated daytime talk show Rolanda Watts. Sandra Furton Gabriel has worked with such legends as Robin Williams, Stevie Winwood, Ringo Starr, William Shatner, Kenny Loggins, Rodney Dangerfield, Michael J. Fox, along with Stevie Nicks and Art Garfunkel. © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#271 - We Have To Not Be Afraid of Change

After a comprehensive year-long search, The NAMM Executive Committee and CEO Search Committee is pleased to announce industry veteran and music education advocate John Mlynczak is the new President and CEO of The National Association of Music Merchants. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) has been around for the past 122 years). Simply put, if NAMM wasn’t doing it, you would notice, but at the same time, you don’t see NAMM helping the music manufacturing industry evolve and grow. With that, comes new membership opportunities, that not only include manufactures and retailers, but now provides an aspect that fits within the individual that works within the music business. John Mlynczak is now only the 4th CEO of the organization in the past 77 years. With that, he’s had his hands full in addition to running the organization, but also rebooting the annual trade shows since Covid hit in 2020. The Global Pandemic simply shut down the Winter NAMM Show in January 2021 in Anaheim CA, along with the annual Summer show in Nashville TN. Since the reopening of public gatherings, the folks at NAMM have now worked to host three Winter NAMM Shows over an 18 month period. The most recent show had 50,000+ attendees visit the convention, and with 120 Countries being represented (and with 30% of attendees being international), it’s still the largest global gathering of the music industry. John and his team are working to continue to build the brand that NAMM is known for, creating exciting trade shows, along with helping the music industry evolve into the 21st Century.

#269  Good Vibes Presents Music Festivals

Hailing from a tiny rural village called Collon, in Co. Louth, Ireland, Clare Cunningham is an independent, award-winning singer-songwriter (including 12 nominations at the upcoming Josie Music Awards, which will be held at the Grand Ole Opry on Oct 22nd 2023), performing, touring, and recording artist. Her raspy, Celtic, soulful voice, with the ability to span across a multitude of genres, is what leads her to be an extremely unique artist. Her 'GRAND OLE OPRY’ debut (March 18th, 2023) was a sold-out show and an accomplishment that’s extremely rare as a completely independent artist. A surprise add-on to the bill on the night was her childhood idol, GARTH BROOKS, and TRISHA YEARWOOD. Clare also performed with STEVE EARLE, singing his infamous ‘Galway Girl’ as a duet.  As if the stars had aligned, Clare had only just starred in the new GARTH BROOKS documentary ''GARTH BROOKS: COMING HOME'' - An exploration of the life of the country music star, looking at his biggest songs. These relationships have influenced his career and his love affair with Ireland. Clare shares her journey, her faith, and how her music trascends oceans, culture, and her goal to help those who suffer from mental illness. Also joining us on the show is Nashville music consultant, Jana Jones Uttz who helps co-host this episode. www.clarecunninghammusic.com © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

#268 - What's On The Outside Does Not Match The Inside

Did you know that in the United States, 29% of teenagers cite being a YouTuber as their chosen profession, or intended profession. The youth of today are discovering a way to create content, and become influencers. But along the way, there’s been a few stumbling blocks, and one of those is the music they use of other artists on the videos they’ve created being cleared (approved) for playing. Four or five years ago, we didn’t know what Tik Tok was. Now it's the largest social platform in the world. In place of the traditional licensing that doesn’t fit this dynamic, there needs to be a micro licensing solution that makes sense for the DIY content creator. YouTube in its own right has 60 million active channels. If you’re an individual content creator, and you’re a fan of a particular artist whose music you want to incorporate into your project, finding out who their label is, is probably the easiest part. But searching and locating the copyright holder and publisher(s) can be mind numbing, let alone attempting to get the proper clearances and approval. This is where LICKD comes into play. On this episode of The Business Side of Music, Paul Sampson who is the co-founder, and CEO of Lickd explains how his company can help expedite the process of clearing music for your project, and minimize the hurdles that otherwise an inexperienced content creator would have to jump thru in order to let their project be approved for social media platforms. Lickd is the world’s leading commercial music licensing platform for social video creators. Their goal is to find solutions when it comes to micro licensing. www.lickd.co © 2023 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC   Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella   Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender   Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC   Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella   Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle   Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment   All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas   Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse)   Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN   Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY   Production Sound Design: Keith Stark   Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson   Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.
