Ken Weinstein – Big Hassle Media
Ken Weinstein - Big Hassle Media For today’s episode, we’re once again going off script and chatting with someone who, while not a manager, is someone who is an ally to artists and their quest to find an audience and make meaningful connections. I was lucky enough to be connected with today’s guest, Ken Weinstein, right as he was starting Big Hassle Media with fellow publicist Jim Merlis. I’ve always admired Ken’s ability to advocate for artists from an authentic and natural place. His passion for the artists he works with shows through, and it’s an impressive list that includes many long-standing relationships, such as with Jack White and Third Man Records, as well as My Morning Jacket, and so many more. We get into a variety of topics, circling back around to the need for storytelling for artists, and how a publicist can support that narrative.
