- Stay on top of local music, nightlife, and entertainment trends to spot press opportunities
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in PR, communications, or media relations (music/entertainment/hospitality industry preferred)

- Existing network of media contacts in music, culture, or local press is a big plus
- Comfortable working nights/weekends around show schedules
- Genuine passion for live music and venue culture
- Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills
