In this episode, we spoke with Chris Wilson who is a venue booker, music promoter, and cultural programmer and is the Director of Programming + Brand Partnerships for The Drake Hotel Properties. For this conversation, Chris brings a helpful POV and language to help us understand the synergies and disconnect between both cities and how the difference in values influence each city's music ecosystem from the individual to the institution and business. Chris Wilson also offers some practical thoughts to spark collaboration among industry players at all levels. From artists to their agents, and from venues to media outlets, he sees collaboration as a force that can strengthen the music economy, infrastructure, audience, and overall sustainability of music in Canada.
