Bill Burrs - SVP Artist Development, The Syndicate
Bill Burrs is SVP of Artist Development and Global Commerce at entertainment marketing agency The Syndicate, and a friend of Nite Owl's host Eric Gottlieb. Bill's a true music industry character, a bon vivant, and witness to several epochs of rock and roll.
Eric chats with Bill on what the hell bands can do during COVID-19, what the future of the music business is and advice for new bands, what growing up around Minneapolis and trying his hand at comedy was like, plus his time at RCA as head of Rock and Alternative Promotions and 300 Entertainment and a few great stories from a veteran of the business.
Eric also makes a weak apology for dissing a well-known band who's career Bill was responsible for and waxes poetic on seeing The Strokes in their infancy.
