This was an awesome episode done with Kyle Tomchesson (Tour Manager) Kyle has a ton of info in this episode on tour managing: how to be one, do you need one?, tips and pet peeves. Alisa Compton (co-host) is also a tour manager, so this one turns into huge discussion on a "how to" on TM'ing. Fantastic discussion. Highly recommended to anyone looking to work in the music industry/touring industry.

Today we sat down with J.R. Carroll. An Oklahoma Native Singer-Songwriter with one hell of a journey on how he got to where he is at now.

We talk about his beginnings, his team, and his thoughts on streaming, TikTok, etc. Such a great episode, check it out and be sure to subscribe to/follow the IMG Podcast for more episodes.  Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/autumnragland    Stream Autumn Ragland - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7oI4b0SmXNTfx4Mx4KwPPq      Autumn Ragland Tour Dates & Tickets (come see us) - https://rogueartistgroup.com/autumn-ragland      IMG Podcast (Facebook) - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067030854040      Become a sponsor: email - Sam@RogueArtistGroup.com   Other Links - https://linktr.ee/samcoxlinks  #IndepenentMusician #musicbusiness #musicpodcast #texasmusicscene #reddirtmusic #musicbusinesspodcast #musicbusiness101 #musicbusinesstips #independentmusic #singersongwriter #SamCox #IMGPodcast #IndependentMusiciansGuide #musicmanager #musicmanagement
