Behind the Scenes: What Goes Into Promoting a Live Show?

By Evyn Butler

When you go to a concert, you're probably not thinking about everything that went into making that night happen. You're there to hear your favorite songs, see an artist you love, and enjoy the experience. But behind every live show, there's a lot of planning and preparation that most people never see.

One thing I've learned while interning at Olivia Management is just how much work goes into promoting a single show. From creating promotional graphics to sending emails and tracking ticket sales, there's a lot happening behind the scenes before an artist even takes the stage.

Spreading the Word

One of the most important parts of promoting a live show is making sure people know about it!

Social media plays a big role in this process. Posting tour announcements, creating graphics, and sharing reminders leading up to a performance are all ways to keep fans informed and excited about upcoming shows.

Another important part of promotion is email marketing. During my internship, I've had the opportunity to work on emails that go directly to fans in different cities, letting them know when an artist will be performing nearby. Email marketing is a great way to reach people who may have missed a tour announcement on social media and encourage them to purchase tickets.

Keeping Up With Ticket Sales

Something I didn't realize before starting my internship was how closely artist management teams monitor ticket sales.

At Olivia Management, we regularly communicate with venues and promoters to request updated ticket counts for upcoming shows. These numbers help us understand how ticket sales are progressing and whether certain shows could benefit from additional promotion.

For example, if a performance is approaching and ticket sales are lower than expected, we might focus on sending another email reminder or sharing additional promotional content on social media.

It's interesting to see how much information goes into making these marketing decisions and how important it is to adjust promotional efforts based on how a show is performing.

Communication Is Key

Another thing I've learned is how important communication is throughout the entire process.

Between artists, managers, venues, promoters, and marketing teams, there are many people involved in making a live show successful. Keeping everyone informed and organized helps ensure that everything stays on track.

Even smaller tasks, like double-checking ticket links, confirming show dates, or making sure promotional materials have the correct information, can make a big difference.

Bringing It All Together

At the end of the day, all of this behind-the-scenes work leads up to something special: giving artists the opportunity to connect with their fans through live music.

Getting to experience the planning and marketing side of live performances has given me a new appreciation for everything that goes into the concert experience. While the audience sees the finished product, there's an entire team working behind the scenes to help make it happen.

It's been rewarding to learn more about this process firsthand and see how all these different pieces come together. The next time you attend a concert, remember that the work behind the scenes is just as important as what happens onstage!

Aaron Lee Tasjan’s new single: “Good Luck Now!”

Not only that, Aaron Lee Tasjan has released his new single called “Good Luck Now!” This song, released just last week, is a bonus track for the deluxe edition of his album Get Over It, Underdog, only adding to Aaron Lee Tasjan’s well-renowned indie-folk sound. “Good Luck Now!” emphasizes the feeling of failing and overcoming hardships by choosing hope and joy even though life can be unpredictable and difficult, which is a beautiful sentiment and something that everyone should be reminded of.

Listen to "Good Luck Now!"

We are thrilled to see Aaron Lee Tasjan perform this uplifting and powerful new single this week at The Basement East, where we know he will touch many hearts and remind everyone that even though life can be hard, they are not alone.


Ask a Manager: The Day-to-Day and When to Seek Management

by Jonah Zimmermann

Artist management is one of the most talked-about and least understood jobs in music. Artists know they need it, fans rarely see it, and even people building careers in the industry often couldn’t tell you what a manager actually does between the headline-making moments.

To get a peek behind the curtain, I sat down with Erin, the founder of Olivia Management, to film an “Ask a Manager” series about what the work really entails. We talked about what a manager’s day-to-day involves, how to know when it’s time to seek management, and so much more. 

Whether you’re an artist wondering what you need, someone curious about a career on the business side of music, or just someone who wants to know what’s really going on behind the scenes, this series is for you.

Here are some highlights from my questionnaire with Erin:

Q: What does it actually mean to work in artist management? (what does the day-to-day look like)

Erin: The day-to-day of an artist manager is constantly different, and I think that’s part of why I love it and why I’ve been able to do it for fifteen years now. It’s really fun. Whatever the artists are into and whatever they’re doing, we come along for the ride. So, if it’s touring, we’re doing tour planning or tour marketing on the front end, or we’re on the road helping put out fires along the road. If they have a record coming out, we’re brainstorming ideas and getting the label and the distribution and the publicist and everybody on the same page, and kind of managing that process. The way I look at it is that the artist and I are like business partners, and we’re trying to build this business together. Their job is to make the art and be the product and go out and do it, and my job is to find the audience for that and grow it in a way where they like their life, they’re having fun, and we all enjoy doing it. That’s, to me, what being an artist manager is. 

Q: How do I know when it’s time to get a manager?

Erin: I think that a lot of artists think that it’s the first step, and I just completely disagree. Here’s my rule of thumb: You need an artist manager when there is so much going on that you can’t handle it. There are requests coming in for your time, you’re missing gigs because you’re at a gig, emails came in and you missed them, and you’ve kind of raised your profile and you have so much going on, you can’t manage it yourself, and you need someone to come in and help you do that. I think before that, you’re still figuring out as an artist, who is my audience? Who do I want to be? What does my art look like? Who is it for? And there are some managers that will come and find a “diamond in the rough” and come in and help you do that. That’s not who I am; I like working with artists that know who they are and know where they want to go, and have kind of built something, and then I get to come in and work with them on– okay, now there’s something here to manage, let’s grow it together. 

A huge thank you to Erin for sharing her fifteen years of experience with us. We’ll be posting more “Ask a Manager” episodes with Erin on our Instagram, so head to our profile and stay tuned if you want to keep learning alongside us!

The Art of Serving the Song: Mary Gauthier's New Podcast!

By Elizabeth Haynes

Mary Gauthier has a new podcast called Reckoning with Mary Gauthier. The first episode, “Magic and Heartbox Hits,” features Beth Nielsen Chapman, one of the cowriters from her recently released album, Reckoning. In this podcast, they discuss different approaches to cowriting, and the ways in which their songs have come to life. When they cowrite, Beth and Mary both approach it in a non-commercial way. Instead of trying to move through songwriting quickly like more commercial writers would, they find their best work is a product of sitting with it for hours until the song comes to fruition. 

Both of them talk about songs as though they are living beings, with minds of their own. This personification of the songs they write shows just how much of their hearts they pour into the music in each and every songwriting session. They refer to it as “serving the song,” and it is your job as the songwriter to follow the song to wherever it takes you.

At one point in the podcast, Beth makes the comment that, “The song already knows what it wants to be when it grows up.” This is great advice for any songwriter; a song cannot be forced. It takes time and patience to wait and let it develop into what it is supposed to be. They even say that many times when they are writing, they are not even certain as to what the song is supposed to communicate until the end of the process of writing it. This ties to something Mary discusses later in the podcast, which is that it can feel as though the song writes itself and she is just the one writing the words down. 

She uses two of her songs, “Worthy” and “Gone” from her new record, to talk about the ways in which her music is aimed to move people. She says the objective of every song she writes is to “move the needle of someone’s heart.” That is what will make her music stand the test of time. 

I am also a songwriter, and Beth Nielsen Chapman has specifically inspired me for years because of the way she approaches songwriting. In 2020, I got the opportunity to attend a songwriting workshop that she was a part of called Lyrics and Lore at Dolly’s Dreammore Resort. In this workshop, she gave me feedback on one of my songs, and the advice she gave me truly transformed the way I approached songwriting in general. She was so kind to me and her passion for music just poured out of her. Hearing this conversation with Mary left me feeling inspired yet again. Here is the picture of us from 2020!

Mary Gauthier talking about her songwriting in this podcast episode really just shows how much she is writing from the heart, and for the heart.

Until Next Year: Reflecting on AmericanaFest 2026

by Sofi Scicchitano

 

Woo! What a week AmericanaFest 2026 has been! Saturday, September 19, was the last day of this exciting and busy week, ending the festivities with a bang at Gray Matters Studio for the final Olivia Management AmericanaFest 2026 Showcase.

Olivia Management artists Mary Gauthier and Jeremy Lister opened Saturday’s showcase, paving the way for an incredible afternoon that really brought to life the Americana and folk music scene in Nashville, Tennessee. Followed by Madeleine Kelson, Crow and Gazelle and more incredible artists, the final installment in the Olivia Management & Friends AmericanaFest showcase truly brought together the folk music community, as it was also free and open to the public. 

We were able to see a lot of our consulting clients and friends, many of whom came from out of town to perform. Both showcases were well attended with energetic crowds who were happy to participate in sing-alongs and even festive line-dances like the conga line, which was a highlight from my night at the Saturday showcase. 

Sara Beth Go and Nathan K. performing at Saturday’s showcase!

Artists Sara Beth Go and Nathan K. ended the night with relatable and inspiring performances, finishing with a festive conga line dance that every single audience member participated in. It was incredibly entertaining and heartwarming to see so many people having fun with each other.

As AmericanaFest 2026 comes to a close, the OM team is feeling so grateful and happy to be a part of the behind-the-scenes that allows for our artists and consulting friends to perform on stage and change people’s lives one song at a time. It has been a busy but fulfilling and successful week!

Kicking Off AmericanaFest 2026!

By Jonah Zimmermann

It’s that time of year! AmericanaFest brings together the best of the Americana, folk, and roots music community from all over for a week of music and celebration right here in Nashville. It's one of our favorite weeks of the year at Olivia Management — a chance to show up for our clients in a big way. This Tuesday, we were joined by a powerhouse lineup of our artists, consulting clients, and friends for the first of two OM AmericanaFest showcases at Gray Matters Studio!

A look into the space and our performers!

Marian Runk kicked off the show, and immediately drew us in with her warmth and storytelling, setting the tone for a night full of heart.

I was moved by Abbie Gardner's performance, and watching her work the dobro was mesmerizing. It’s not an instrument I’m familiar with and it definitely made me want to hear more! A stand-out moment of her set was when she pulled the audience into a sing-along. It was heartwarming to see her break down walls, and in that moment you could feel how a shared love for music connected everyone in the room. 

Derek Webb closed the show, and it was the perfect note to end the night on. Derek joining us not only to perform, but also to help sponsor the showcase with Dead Ringer meant a lot to us. One of the things that inspired me most is seeing how nights like this can weave together creativity in all its forms, whether it's playing music, engineering sound and lighting, or building the kind of entrepreneurial vision it takes to make a show like this happen.

Derek Webb closing Tuesday night’s showcase

Watching this showcase was a reminder of what the work we do here at Olivia Management is all about –– bringing people together with art. It was abundantly clear that every artist that took the stage had a story worth telling. Knowing we get to play a part in bringing those stories to life is what makes the work we do behind the scenes so rewarding and fulfilling. 

And the best part is, we’re not done yet! We’ll be back at Gray Matters Studio this weekend with another round of amazing artists. This Saturday starting at 2pm, you can catch performances by Mary Gauthier, Jeremy Lister, and many more! 

This show is free and open to the public— no AmericanaFest passes are required to attend! Check out the graphic below for the full lineup and showcase details. We’d love to see you there! 


Our Playlist for AMERICANAFEST 2026!

by Elizabeth Haynes

The most exciting part of the year is coming up for all of us here at Olivia Management: AMERICANAFEST is next week!

Americanafest is a great opportunity to see many live performances of folk and Americana music. This year, Olivia Management will be celebrating our 6th annual Americanafest showcase(s).

In honor of that, we created a playlist featuring some of the talented artists performing next week! 

I listened through the playlist myself, and I am particularly looking forward to hearing Alcohol and Adderall, Queer Kid, and Won’t Go Back next week. 

Alcohol and Adderall by Mary Gauthier delves into the harsh reality of loving someone who is stuck in a cycle of self-destruction. The emotion in her delivery of the song speaks to me so much, and I am excited to hear that be recreated in a live setting. 

Queer Kid by Derek Webb is another song that I think will be a standout performance. Derek’s writing puts a heavy focus on real-world issues, and this song in particular talks about the feeling of unsafety that queer youth faces. That topic is not only very relevant to the current political climate, but also calls attention to some of the less recognized voices in Americana music. 

Lastly, I think I will particularly enjoy seeing Won’t Go Back by Katie Callahan. This song is all about moving forward and choosing to be hopeful, even through major life shifts. This is a sentiment I really resonate with, as I think so many people can. 

You won’t want to miss these amazing performances, so make sure you join us at AMERICANAFEST 2026!

Summer 2026 Intern Wrap Up

And just like that, we’re at the end of our time with our Summer 2026 interns! We’ve had a wonderful semester with these three gals, and we’re so excited to see what they do next. Thank you to Mikayla, Marissa, and Kayla for giving us your time this semester! Read on to hear about their experience interning at OM.

My time at Olivia Management is something I will always be grateful for. From my very first day, Erin, Grace, and Maddy created a welcoming environment that encouraged hard work, curiosity, and growth. They were always willing to answer questions and turn everyday tasks into valuable teaching moments. Because of their mentorship, I gained confidence in my abilities and developed a much deeper understanding of what goes into managing artists and supporting a successful management company.

Throughout my internship, I became familiar with industry-standard platforms such as Mailchimp, Bandsintown, Later, and Squarespace while also strengthening my organizational, communication, and time management skills. One of the most rewarding parts of my internship was helping manage Olivia Management's social media presence. This experience taught me how to create content and communicate from a brand's perspective rather than my own, ensuring every post reflected the company's voice and values. Looking back, I am leaving Olivia Management with not only new technical skills but also a stronger understanding of the music industry, greater confidence in my ability to contribute to a professional team, and meaningful friendships with my fellow interns that grew through our collaborative office environment. This experience has reinforced my passion for artist management and digital marketing, and I know the lessons, relationships, and confidence I gained here will continue to shape my future career.

Interning at Olivia Management has been one of the best experiences! I have learned how to navigate and use multiple social media tools, keep up to date on ticket and inventory counts, and understand the importance of professional communication both in and out of the office. The skills I have developed and expanded on are going to be so helpful as I continue to move toward my own career goals in this industry.

Erin, Grace, and Maddy have all been so wonderful and welcoming from the very beginning. Together, they have created a work environment that is loving and super supportive, and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to be a part of it. I have also made new friendships while interning alongside Mikayla and Kayla. They are such hard workers, and I admire their dedication to the same passion we all share for music! I had an amazing summer with everyone at Olivia Management!

Being at Olivia Management has truly been a pivotal part of me transitioning from a student into a young professional. I have learned so much about the music industry and am so thankful for all of the wisdom Erin shared. So thankful for Grace and Maddy and their eagerness to help and encourage us. And, of course, thankful for Lucy for existing. I've learned how quickly things change in this industry and how important it is to double and triple check information. I learned that mistakes happen, and they're all part of the learning process. I honed my editing skills and became even more familiar with CapCut and Canva. As a songwriting major, I also learned how to register performances with ASCAP—a skill I'll always carry with me :) !

This experience has been such a safe environment to learn and grow, and I'm so thankful they took a chance on me. I will always look back at OM as the launching pad toward my future career in the music industry! Thank you, Erin, Maddy, Grace, Mikayla, Marisa (and Lucy of course), for making this the best summer ever!

What do Olivia Management Interns do?

By: Mikayla Hauger

A Glimpse Into My Day as an Intern

Hi! This is me, Mikayla, a current intern this summer at Olivia Management!

When people ask what a typical day at Olivia Management looks like as an intern, the honest answer is: it depends!

No two days are exactly the same. Each day brings new tasks based on the needs of our artists and the company, mixed with semester-long projects assigned to each intern based on our individual interests. This variety keeps every day interesting and has given me the opportunity to gain experience in many different areas of artist management. For example, my semester-long projects include running the social media for the official OM pages, sending a weekly industry news report to the team in the office, and doing a weekly check of Artist Growth, which is where we store all events related to our artists and any information for those events that they might need.

So, what does the actual day look like?

My dashboard on Asana

My day at Olivia Management starts at 9:00 a.m. Once I log in, I hop on Slack, say hello in the general channel, and let the team know I'm online. From there, my first stop is the Intern Tasks channel, where the day-to-day assignments are posted. These tasks are often time-sensitive, so they take priority over my semester-long projects. These tasks usually include things like drafting show reminder emails, adding shows to our wall calendar, or researching things in relation to our artists/company operations.

After checking all Slack channels and not seeing any intern-specific tasks, I head over to Asana to review my assigned projects for the day. This is where I keep track of my semester-long tasks, deadlines, and any ongoing projects I'm working on.

Around noon, I usually take a lunch break with my fellow interns, which is a fun time for us to catch up. This time, as well as the collaborative office space, has allowed us to craft meaningful friendships.




In the afternoon, if my semester tasks are completed, it’s time to go back to the Intern Tasks channel and let the team know that I am open to tasks. They will usually write something up for us to get done in our remaining time in the office for the day.

Once it hits 4 pm, I am done with my day at Oliva Management, and I message the main Slack channel that I am out for the day!

As one of my social media posts, I made a day in the life video to post to the Olivia Management reels page. It showcases the collaborative office space and the members of the incredible full-time team. You can view this video linked to the left!

If this at all seems interesting to you, you can click here to apply! This internship is a unique experience where the interns have been able to directly observe and contribute to the operations of an artist management company. While the application window for Fall of 2026 has closed, you can still apply and be considered for future semesters.


Praise for Aaron Lee Tasjan’s Get Over It, Underdog

By Kayla Pinckney

We are beyond excited for this new record released this past Friday by Aaron Lee Tasjan!

Get Over It, Underdog is Tasjan’s way of exploring what happens when an artist stops believing in themselves. He drew inspiration from his late mentor, Todd Snider, whose encouragement helped shape the album's message.

The singles “Science Friction,” “Lost and Alone,” and “Lydia’s Boots” were just the beginning! This album features 11 songs and was produced by Tasjan and Mark Miller. Be sure to give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed!

Listen here!

Read on for more praise for Get Over It, Underdog.

  • “…a set of 11 songs that meld Tasjan’s knack for off-kilter but truly humanistic storytelling with vibrant melodies that shift and shine: a little glam rock, a little sing-talk folk, a lot of empathizing for the kind of underdog that may not get a lot of attention but still has a whole lot to say.” - Rolling Stone

  • "His most upbeat songs — like “Lost & Alone” on his new release, 'Get Over It, Underdog' — hit with the soaring sheen of a smarter, more jaded 'Full Moon Fever'-era Tom Petty." - No Depression Review

  • "Tasjan’s a gifted writer, singer and guitar player, but, like Allison Russell, he’s no longer an outsider – he’s a leader in Nashville, and Music City is better for it.” - Americana Highways review

  • “It’s an introspective, often moody collection that rewards repeat listens, with sharp songwriting and memorable melodies proving that Tasjan remains one of Americana’s most thoughtful and consistently compelling voices – even if he occasionally doubts himself.” - Glide Magazine review

  • Paste Magazine - Daytrotter Session

  • On Joy, Songwriting, and Leaning to Let Go - Wheels Off with Rhett Miller

  • Words & Music performance and interview - WMOT (NPR Music)

  • Album Of The Week - Tinnitist

  • Album feature - WNCW

  • "Lydia's Boots" featured on Top 25 Playlist - Saving Country

Social Media Tools That Keep Us Organized

By: Mikayla Hauger

Social Media Essentials

At Olivia Management, we work with social media every day. To stay organized, strong communication is essential, and so is our large library of platforms that help us compile information in one place, like Asana. When it comes to social media, we utilize a few key platforms out of the many we use daily to keep our content consistent and structured. Read about a few of them listed below!

 

Later

Later is a social media scheduling app. We utilize this app daily to keep every single post we make consistent across all platforms. It allows us to draft and schedule posts and see it all in one place! It also allows us to log into our artists' pages to help keep their pages relevant. Later is the guiding factor in our social media organization, as it helps us strategize when to post.

Click here to learn more about later!

Canva

Canva allows our team to design single covers, album covers, and update our graphics all using our designated brand kit. It simplifies the process by already having a set color scheme and images to pull from instead of having to go find it in our files. The whole team can be logged in under the same account, which allows us to be collaborative in every step of the creative process.

Click here to learn more about Canva

CapCut

CapCut allows our team to easily edit videos that we post to Reels on the Olivia Management pages or on our artist pages. It has become a great factor in team collaboration and learning.

Just a peek behind the curtain is always interesting to see. While we utilize these mostly for the benefit of our artists, this could be applied to any Social Media pages that need to see growth!
