The Band’s Co-Founder Will Sit Down With Ray Waddell President of OVG Media & Conferences on Thursday, May 14 at 1pm PT / 4pm ET
Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood will appear in a live streamed conversation this Thursday, May 14 via Pollstar’s Facebook Live page (www.facebook.com/pollstar) with Ray Waddell, president of Oak View Group‘s Media & Conferences division, as part of Pollstar Live! One-on-One Sessions. This ongoing series of livestreamed video features in-depth conversations with artists as well as top live industry executives from across the business.
The livestream comes just as the Drive-By Truckers are celebrating their twentieth anniversary. Topics to be discussed include the band’s latest studio album The Unraveling, “Quarantine Together,” the group’s new song written and recorded during this period of social isolation, the impact the current crisis is having on Drive-By Truckers’ beloved live shows and more. The coronavirus crisis forced Drive-By Truckers, like many others, to reschedule its spring tour, which included stops at San Francisco’s Fillmore, Chicago’s Vic Theatre, Dallas’ Granada Theatre and several others. Most dates have been rescheduled for August and September. Last week, Hood performed his first-ever quarantined livestreamed solo performance.
