Backstage Chicago

Backstage Chicago spotlights emerging Midwest artists with cinematic 4K sessions, venue tours, festival highlights, and mini-docs. Our goal: help new talent get seen, booked, and paid—while sharing practical guides on load-ins, lighting/AV, and promo so the whole scene levels up. If our work helps you discover artists or promote your show, please share the channel, subscribe, and—only if you can—buy us a coffee: http://buymeacoffee.com/ybarraroy86.

Your support funds: more shoots; lens/mic upgrades and multitrack audio; lighting and staging; travel, permits, and crew meals; edits, color, captions, and translations; storage, cloud, and software; access efforts like fee waivers, honorariums, and community showcases.

Buy Me a Coffee lets you tip once or support monthly with no complicated setup. Every coffee becomes cameras rolling, clean audio, real stories—and a brighter spotlight for Midwestern artists. Thank you for keeping the signal strong.
