Thank you, Bob and Ari, for a candid, informative conversation. As someone who helped plan and run events on a MUCH smaller scale in my former work-life, I am in awe of the systems Bob and his peers have developed over the past decades to help Summerfest run smoothly. I also liked hearing Bob say that he and his team are interested in how each artist/band interacts with the Summerfest staff as well as with the Summerfest audience/fans. And it's great to be reminded that respectful persistence is a crucial - and sometimes welcomed - way to proceed with one's career goals!
Love your content man! You gotta get Simon Kessler from Insomniac on here
Ari, you have consistently shared valuable knowledge with us. I appreciate you.

ari, thank you for putting this out there ! i haven't watched this yet but i still want to say thank you ! you're always finding new ways to help artists and i can't thank you enough !
Ari is the 🐐
great information
I’ve been a sideman forever but am looking to stretch out as a solo artist. As lawyers go you’re one of the tops. Thanks for the great information. I’m also interested in the sync music business.
Very informative interview
Great information. Ari would you recommend any conferences for Festivals?
This is very interesting.. I posted some music on here and I have so much music but I stopped posting because I see that people don’t even see it.. anyway, It is intentional music built to trigger stagnant emotions and transforming them to joy by using certain frequencies.. I would appreciate feedback. This music comes from my soul. Thank you. And thank you for the video.
wow
Largest and most unknown that is
Inexpensive? Is it really inexpensive to be there..?
