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.

Chip Auchincloss is a Monitor Engineer and Backline Tech based in Brooklyn, N.Y., who’s spent the last 20 years living his dream of working in the live sound industry.

I met with Chip at his Brooklyn studio where we dove deep into his upbringing in Philadelphia, his obsession with concerts, and the crazy coincidence of our family connection.

Over the years he has toured with artists ranging from Dirty Projectors, Silversun Pickups, The New Pornographers, Regina Spektor, and many more. He’s also worked as a house engineer at several venues including Sony Hall, World Stage, Webster Hall, and B.B. King’s Blues Club, where he got his start.
