I've been around music and film my whole life, and love watching and reading about all of the action backstage and behind the scenes.

From the independent film producer who has to make his or her day despite inclement weather, to the guitar tech changing the umpteenth set of strings on the bus at 2 AM, I'm fascinated by these people and their stories.

If you've ever wondered who some of those people are in the long list of credits at the end of a movie and how they got there, or who those sweaty folks in black T-shirts are doing on-stage before a concert or what the hell a record producer actually does, then this podcast is for you.
Thanks for listening.

Hanford Pittman is a Brooklyn-based FOH Engineer and Production Manager currently on tour with Sweden’s very own Tove Lo.

Originally from Southern California, Hanford grew up as a musician playing with several local bands, before getting a gig as security at the world famous Troubadour. It was there that he caught the bug to be an engineer and he started working under the house staff learning the ropes. From there, he’s worked at The Echo, The music center in downtown LA, and at Roughtrade in Brooklyn, NY. His extensive festival experience includes Outside lands, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glasdtonbury with bands such as Siilversun Pickups, Warpiant, Purity Ring, Borns, and now Tove Lo.
