and weekly email newsletter that tries to detail all the concerts happening in the city at a range of venues. Launched in August 2021, the account has nearly 6,000 followers, and weekly posts average around 350 likes.in 2017. While living in nearby Nashville, she interned at the Basement and the Basement East, two well-known small venues, where she did a little bit of everything.
I had been collecting local shows for myself for years prior. When I moved to Chicago, I didn’t really know the music scene here at all. I just knew it at the surface level. But I always wanted to stay connected and educated on venues and who was working in them—just networking, like most music-industry people do. There’s actually a version of @ChicagoShowCal in Nashville called. And I loved that page—I used it all the time and thought it was useful, as someone who cares about music.
I also have a newsletter that I add to, in case people want to get it to their emails. I’ve got it to a system now, where it just usually takes me two to three hours max. But it does sound really archaic. A lot of people have been nice and offered to try to make me some sort of macro or automation system. But I have trust issues with those. And I just wanted to make sure myself that it’s right.
I’ve been told that people who work in marketing for venues will look at the calendar and see and compare—what shows happened on the night that their show happened, to see if sales were good or bad or whatever. It’s just been interesting to hear stories of how people have used it. This is not an events calendar. If this was an event calendar, it would be my full-time job. There’s stuff going on everywhere, so I do have to narrow it down. Shows are what I’ve always been passionate about. So that’s what the list is. For example, I don’t include comedy. It’s not because I don’t love comedy—I love going to comedy—but like, again, I’m one person. I have a full-time job outside of this.
