about

Jenn Misko has a deeply rooted love of college/non-commercial radio. After spending time as dj then music director of her college’s radio station (WAKE Radio, Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC) and a radio promoter at Fanatic Promotion in NYC, as well as experience in several other aspects of the music industry (record label, concert promotion, artist/tour management, venue booking, venue box office/stage/house/production/social media management, festival credentials/box office/stage management, freelance writing), in early 2009 she decided to strike out on her own. Based in Brooklyn through 2013 and now from Seattle, and working with a very selective roster to ensure maximum personal attention to and success with each artist, The Band Mom is your new favorite boutique radio promotion company.

Over her 10+ year career as a radio promoter, Jenn/The Band Mom has been nominated for two awards at annual CMJ Music Marathons: “Biggest Ray of Sunshine” (2009) and “Specialty Promoter of the Year” (2010), which in part also refers to the RPM promotion work she did as a freelancer for the company LIFT. She also served as a panelist (during “Music Industry One-On-Ones” breakout sessions) for the CMJ “College Day On Tour” event in Portland OR in November 2015, then on a panel titled “Career Intensive 101: Exploring the Industry” during the Mondo.NYC conference in NYC in October 2017, and then on a panel titled “How Your Station Can Get More From The Music Industry” during the CBI annual conference in Seattle in October 2018. She was also profiled in an Industry Interview on the Community page of NACC (the charting authority/defacto central hub of the college/community-radio music biz after the collapse of CMJ) in January 2018.
