117 – Heather West of Western Publicity & Riot Fest talks about the art & life of a music publicist!

HEATHER WEST, owner of Western Publicity and publicist for RIOT FEST is on this week’s Mostly Harmless Podcast.

Heather West has the best stories. She’s done a little bit of everything in the world of entertainment, but first and foremost she is a storyteller. Meet her backstage at Riot Fest or at a concert and she’ll regale you with the best stories of her time in the entertainment world. I decided I wanted to meet and I wanted  her to tell her own story in this week’s podcast!

We talk about how she became a publicist,  her time at Victory Records, breaking bands such as Taking Back Sunday and starting her own publicity company! We also talk to her about what a publicist does, what to do to take your band there and what a publicist is looking for! All of this and more from Roscoe Village Pub in Chicago!
