We recap the 2nd Street Soundcheck and Solstice Festival. Get to know some of the local bands by listening to our preview show).

Chris Bush is the CEO of TipCow, an app that allows you to tip a band directly from your phone. Dan Redman, founder of Mosaic Sound Collective, a one-stop shop of resources and services supporting the music community. They join us to talk about how their ventures fit in Mayor Adler’s Omnibus Resolution to preserve the Austin music scene:

• Their personal connection to Austin music;
• Reactions to the Omnibus Resolution;
• Why Music Tech is part of the solution;
• The importance of collaboration;
• Austin as a creative city;
• Reaching out to the broader audience;

We have music and we have tech. We can build the credibility and my goal is build our own venture capital that is separate from the tech world – Dan Redman

The fans are the ones who are going to spend money. They’re the ones who are going to help support artists. But you have to find value to give them to make them want to spend money. – Chris Bush
