A Newbie (No Mixing/Audio knowledge) Podcaster local live music promoter...looking for others possibly doing something similar?

Hey everyone — I’m George Marsh from Williamsburg, VA.

For the past 5 years I’ve been promoting local live music across Williamsburg, Yorktown, Gloucester, Toano, Charles City, and New Kent through my free community calendar at 757livemusic.com. It’s a passion project where musicians, bands, and venues can submit events, and I help get the word out.

I created a mediakit.757livemusic.com that explains my story..no worries I am not selling anything just putting it out there so you can understand where I am coming from and what lead me here!

I also run a podcast interviewing local artists and promoters — 16 episodes in so far, all self-taught along the way. Check it out at theredshoespodcast.com

Now I’m diving deeper into audio as I launch a livestream Original Song Showcase series for local singer-songwriters.

My setup is built around a QSC TouchMix 8 with a Shure SM58 for vocals and a Radial ProDI for acoustic guitar. The mix runs into a RØDECaster Pro II and then into a Mac Mini using Ecamm Live to broadcast to Facebook and YouTube.

The goal is simple: deliver a clean, consistent, great-sounding mix for the online listener so each artist is represented at a high level.

I’ve reached out to a few friends who run sound for local bands, but they’re slammed this time of year—so like my podcast, I may be learning this as I go.

Would love to connect with anyone experienced in mixing acoustic/vocal performances for livestreams or working in small studio environments.

George "Red Shoes" Marsh
