Liz Tallent (The Orange Peel + secretary of the Southeast chapter of the National Independent Venue Association [NIVA]) is our guest today to answer the question: What does the future of live music look like?
Nothing is more exhilarating than live music, but as we know, live music faced some hardships over the last two years. Still, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. To guide us, there is no one better than Liz Tallent. Liz is the secretary of the Southeast chapter of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA). She's here to help us get to the bottom of a question every independent creative has been asking: "What does the future of live music look like?"
Tallent stumbled into the live music scene in 2006, planning to work temporarily at Asheville N.C's historic concert venue The Orange Peel between jobs. As the highest ticket-selling indie artist club on the southeast circuit, The Orange Peel has showcased artists like the Beastie Boys, The Avett Brothers, Lauryn Hill, Jack White, and more. What began as covering a management role for six months turned into filling the role of venue manager and marketing/special events director right up to today! Liz’s undying passion and energy have allowed for the local music and entertainment culture to prosper, amplifying this successful setting for quality experiences for both bands and fans.
Liz’s contributions to the indie venue world don't stop there. Her involvement with NIVA has put her at the forefront of the Save the Stage movement, which provides funds to arts and entertainment entities affected by the pandemic. She recognizes that music venues are not the same as any other small businesses, and they need both internal and external support to flourish. While things are starting to look up, the effects of the pandemic continue to linger, and Tallent and others in the venue business keep working hard to save the live music industry. It's an ever-evolving, ongoing undertaking, but with knowledgeable and experienced people like Liz, we know live music is in good hands. Outside of that, Liz is also a proud wife and mother of three children. In her spare time, they love spending time in the indie music hub downtown Asheville has to offer.
