BIGSOUND: Tom Windish

Business: The Windish Agency

Position/Title: Owner

How did you first become involved in the music business? I had a radio show in college and fell into producing concerts for the radio station.  That led to running all of the concerts for the college and eventually an internship at a booking agency.  From there I started my own agency and booking tours for small bands.

What do you perceive to be your area of expertise, and how did you gain experience in this field? Booking tours and developing touring careers.  I've been doing this for 20 years, first on my own, then at a great agency called Billions, and then again at my own agency but with a great group of agents.

Is this your first BIGSOUND? No, second. I think the first one was in 2010.

What will you be primarily discussing during your appearance at the BIGSOUND conference? Ideas for developing a touring career.

What are you expecting to take away yourself from your visit to BIGSOUND? I’m looking forward to meeting new people, seeing old friends and seeing great bands.
