The National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) formed during the pandemic to support independent performance venues and promoters. NIVA now encompasses over 3,000 independent venues in 50 states including Washington D.C. They’ve pressured the Small Business Administration to act. By the end of 2020, the Small Business Association (SBA) signed the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, the largest arts funding program in history with $16 billion dollars allocated for independent venues. It took months of lobbying to get the federal government’s attention, and in early June, when only 100 venues had received aid, the lobbying continued. In this audio exclusive, correspondent Janet Hernandez, an intern for The Laura Flanders Show, interviews Stephen Chilton, NIVA’s vice president and owner of the independent venue Rebel Lounge in Phoenix, AZ. What’s at stake when venues can’t reopen, and how will NIVA support the industry post-pandemic?

Episode Notes:

Something that is extremely important when it comes to relationships is really knowing who you are working with. Joey understands that working in the concert business, a lot of what goes on is about the customer, but he also knows that a large part of his job is working with many of Live Nation’s partners and different stakeholders.

3 Takeaways:

• Rejection is something that happens, and it’s okay. It’s very important to know and understand that if you know you are okay with rejection you will have more of a chance to succeed.
• Don’t forget to be happy. Everyone wants to be successful in their job, but in reality, being happy is the definition of success.
• When you talk to a customer or a client like they are a real person, just from that alone you have already got their attention because you’re treating them like they are a real person and they matter.

Key Quotes:

• “There are so many things that go into putting on an event of any sort, not just concerts, whether it's insurance, whether it's liability, whether it's logistics, whether it's the security that no one ever thinks about it, they just come to the event and not that they think it just magically appeared, but at times it seems like it just magically appeared, but make no mistake, there is a ton of work that goes into it”
• “The [customer] asks you the question what's going on because you've said to them, I'm not having a great day. So now you've basically made yourself vulnerable. That’s authentic...Now. All of a sudden, in a matter of 15 seconds, my bond with you was strengthened exponentially."
• "The more you meet people and the more you treat them just like people and the more you cheat, look at them to see who they are, the more real and rewarding that interaction can be."

We the North! Dave and Paul head north of the border to speak with who they dub “the King of Canada,” Adam Armit, the Manager of Live Entertainment and Venue Marketing for Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) in Toronto, where he oversees the concert marketing portfolio for Scotiabank Arena, the digital content portfolio for music partnerships and overall music marketing strategy. Adam dives into how he has pivoted in his role during the pandemic, including his experience with the NHL bubble, their virtual concert series (Budweiser Stage at Home) and drive-in events. One of Scotiabank Arena's biggest successes has been their accolades received for artist welcomes and gifts, largely in part to Adam's creativity and leadership. Adam walks through how his team creates these unique venue opportunities, from a birthday party for Ariana Grande to a custom Gameboy for Bruno Mars.
