📻  Hi, thanks for tuning in.

The focus of Arpeggio is to provide fresh, curated music as well as data & analysis of the music biz. Curated music is important because, in a world increasingly dominated by streaming companies, there are artists who deserve the spotlight.

In this curated series, Friday Roundup, I’m sharing one single, one album, and one behind the scenes look into a recording artist's creative process to listen to at your leisure over the weekend. The behind the scenes of an artist’s creative process is storytelling with both artists and music enthusiasts in mind.

A surprising 78% of announced concerts are happening in the next 6 months

“During May, we saw between 250,000 and 550,000 fans per day clicking to buy tickets. We can now predict that the number of fans purchasing tickets is on track to surpass pre-pandemic levels by the end of June,” said Bandsintown Managing Partner Fabrice Sergent.

Australia, New Zealand, and the US are leading the global live music recovery.
