I had the incredible opportunity to recently interview two very talented sound engineers, Beckie Campbell and Willa Snow. We discussed their careers and how the live music industry has been affected by the pandemic. Please note: While SoundGirls is no...

“We've been shut down both businesswise and also with freelance work,” says Campbell. “Nothing really has been going on. I've been able to help a few churches with streaming and getting that online.

Touring is shut down as well, so even my backup for my backup is gone at this point."

"I kept almost every ticket stub, and I had the original ticket stub from the Mansfield show. I was living by myself, and I thought, ‘How am I going to decorate my tree?’ So I thought about hanging all of my ticket stubs on the tree. Then I thought about bringing a copy of that ticket stub of that show to her grave that year as a remembrance of her."

Allen George, known as LBC72 — or “LoveBoatCaptain72” — to many fans on the Pearl Jam Message Board Pit, has truly shown others how to lead by example. George was not cursed the day he let that lightning bolt go. He was blessed. And since then, he has taken the reins and has steered many lives towards the clear.

"The ocean is always moving, so you can have something similar, but it’s always something different. I think that’s what makes it so exciting."

"In the film, Mike talks about the fact that he had given up music when he was younger. But after going to a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert at the Gorge, he said to himself, 'I'm playing the guitar again.'"
