About this listen

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to travel from town to town to put on a concert? Our show today focuses on the stories of travelling musicians and the artists who help them put on concerts in towns across the country. Our guest in this episode, Ashley Kahn, is best known as a music journalist and author of many books about jazz and rock. Before he earned recognition as a writer, he worked behind the scenes to help touring musicians bring their concerts to cities across America and abroad. His perspective on the music industry, and the tales Ashley shares about his own experiences, help give a sense for what it’s like to be an artist on tour. Musical memories from Tom McElhanney, Jason Carder, and Christian Giroux guide our conversation.
