Band Managers

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Many of rock's greatest acts owe a part of their success to a band manager. Others just end up owing a fortune. We talk with Steve Overbury, author of Guns, Cash and Rock n Roll: The Managers, about the best (and most notorious) band managers in history. And, band manager Alex Kadvan, who works with New York-based groups like Antibalas, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and the Budos Band, shares his experience working in today's music industry.
