    Theresa Teague’s music career journey is all about grit and hard work finding luck and opportunity. Theresa has always had a passion for music, from dance lessons to following the local live music scene in Atlanta, all the way to the historic Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, where Theresa would use her day job vacation time to volunteer at the festival each summer. She eventually got a paid position at Montreux, which exposed her to music artists from around the world and led her to further work in world artist concert tour promotion and more. During this music careers episode, Theresa discusses how her IT programming degree and corporate day jobs allowed her to support herself financially while following her passion on nights and weekends, paying off debt and giving herself a solid financial base, keeping her eye on the prize with a lot of hard work and determination until she was finally able to make the leap to a full-time career in independent tour management. Now Theresa has a roster of internationally-renowned music artists, as well as collaborating with Center Stage, the US State Department’s Cultural Exchange program for world music.
