Its hard to imagine a world without music. For over 35,000 years music has contributed to culture and enhanced our life on Earth. I’m Robin Applewood - Producer, Musician, DJ, Sound Engineer and Promoter with over 20 years of experience in the business. I interview other professionals from the Bay Area music scene and beyond. Meet the extraordinary humans that make up this intricate and robust industry. The talented and creative humans that hustle day-in and day-out to bring sounds to our earbuds and produce the live music experiences that become some of the best moments of our lives.
