ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join host Melea Hames as she sits down with Matt Mandrella, Huntsville's Music Officer — the first full-time job of its kind in the country — who landed in the Rocket City by way of a decade in Austin and a run at Elvis Presley's Graceland. Matt shares what a city music audit actually is and why Huntsville commissioned one, how the scene grew into a $278 million music economy with more than 2,200 live music events a year, and why a city needs 50-capacity listening rooms just as badly as it needs an 8,000-seat amphitheater.
