#04 — Cafe Crescendos: Isis Geraldo

This week, we are joined by Isis Geraldo, a co-owner of the popular cafe and live music venue 'Resonance' in Montreal! In this episode, we discuss the intricacies of operating such a unique business model, which transitions from lattes and day-time studying to a space of music experimentation in the evening. Prior to the pandemic, Resonance held up to 60 shows each month (!) but the pandemic has obviously been a massive disruption - Isis explains how Resonance has adapted to this new condition. We also consider the challenges of balancing music accessibility for the public with adequate compensation for artists and the business.
