Description

Welcome to Roadcase!!  We are incredibly honored to have the one and only Peter Shapiro on the show. Peter is a legendary concert promoter and venue owner and is the author of a new book, "The Music Never Stops: What Putting on 10,000 Shows Has Taught Me About Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Magic." Peter owns and runs the Brooklyn Bowls (NYC, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Nashville) as well as the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, which he acquired and re-opened in 2012. He is also the founder of the Lockn' Music Festival in Arrington, VA and is the publisher of Relix Magazine which also owns the website jambands.com.  He also created Fare Thee Well, the 50th Anniversary Grateful Dead shows in 2015.  Peter is also involved in a variety of non-profit organizations and sits on the Board of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Peter's new book documents his life in Live Music, from Wetlands Preserve in New York City in the 90s to the Brooklyn Bowls and what it means to put on over 10,000 shows throughout his illustrious career. Peter is that special brand of human that sees both the Big Picture as well as the all the little details that make shows special for both fans and performers alike. His vast imagination and enthusiasm coupled with his massive love of live music, performance and The Show is what makes Peter the most unique presence in Rock Music today. So let's all rejoice that live music is back, and let's hop on the Roadcase bus for this special episode with the one and only Peter Shapiro. It's gonna be a great ride!! For more information: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comTheme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
