ONE-ON-ONE - This month we take a look at band promotion from a Los Angeles-based jam band’s perspective. We interviewed Son Vo from the award-winning Mother Jones Band. He’s a top-notch multi-instrumentalist playing several shows a week with different bands; a bandleader who’s kept his own six-piece unit together for many years, and a concert promoter with a production company and massive network of venues and bands in the Southwest.
