Lydaco Music & Booking sprang from my life-long passion for music, a desire to support artists, to build community, and make a positive difference through music. Established in Columbia, MO in 2012, Lydaco Music has served as a platform for my diverse music projects.
Early on, I hosted five local songwriting workshops. I also presented 15 listening room shows, featuring touring Folk and Americana artists that included: The Honey DewDrops, Jonathan Byrd & The Pick Up Cowboys, Buddy Mondlock, Owen Temple, Kelley Mickwee, John Batdorf & James Lee Stanley, Natalia Zukerman, Jeff Campbell, Danny Schmidt & Carrie Elkin, Noah Earle, ilyAIMY, Rachael Sage, Neptune's Car, Lyal Strickland and Jack Williams. You can still view videos on YouTube (linked above). Due to the limited listening rooms available in my area, I worked for several years to promote and cultivate the establishment of several house concert series in my community.
Over the years, Lydaco Music evolved into Lydaco Music & Booking, a boutique booking agency focused to serving Folk, Americana and Roots touring artists. My journey began when I met John Batdorf (Batdorf & Rodney/Silver fame) at a house concert. Soon after this meeting, I began assisting John with booking annual tours to Missouri/Midwest. I became an agent representative for some additional artists, while providing occasional fill in booking assistance to still others. My scope in tour booking grew from regional to national. Artists I worked with: Adler & Hearne, Ben Bedford, Carrie Elkin & Danny Schmidt, Jeff Campbell, Korby Lenker, Melissa Greener, Jonathan Byrd & The Pickup Cowboys, Kelley Mickwee, Kira Small, Michelle Lewis, Owen Temple, Neptune's Car, Steff Mahan, Rod Picott, Mark Stuart, The Honey Dewdrops, and These Fine Moments.
Currently, I am working with an amazing roster of artists. Please explore their websites and music links. If you would like to host a house concert, or book any of these artists at your music venue, for your concert series or music festival, I would love to hear from you!
