Are you looking for ways to engage your digital audience? Are you seeking out ways to know your fan base better? What about finding ways to market to those fans (and turning them into consumers)? Sometimes, it just feels overwhelming, as though you're trying to boil water in the entire ocean.

Joining us in the studio today is Darshan Kaler, who is the founder and CEO of fan engagement for the technology company Tradable Bits, based in Vancouver, Canada. Also joining Darshan is Shaun Verreault, who heads up Tradable Bits’ business development (and is lead vocalist and guitarist for the blues-based rock band “Wide Mouth Mason”). Darshan and Shaun discuss such topics as the new data revolution in live music, who’s using data tech and how, and where the growth opportunities are in this ever evolving music business.
