NAMM Tips and Interview with Chesbro CEO Tana Stahn

Behind Their Music

A message from Laura with tips for NAMM: "As a first time attendee of NAMM in Anaheim, I decided to share some tips with you on the event followed up with an interview with Teton Guitars and Chesbro CEO Tana Stahn. First of all, I recommend staying close though actually not on-site. I stayed about a mile and a half away which was a quick ride to and from so it was close and convenient but a bit away from the fray. I highly recommend bringing snacks and food as the food lines were often 45 minutes to an hour and there isn’t a huge selection. Looking at schedule and determine what your goals and then mapping out rough schedule using the app and the website was the way to go for me. Remember it takes a fair amount of time to go from hall to hall as the venue is so huge! Lastly if you’ve never gone, I do recommend it, I met a lot of great people and learned a lot – I will also be sharing more interviews with those I connected with there. Things coming up! Excited that this weekend I will be interviewing Grammy nominees and then following up with going to the Durango Songwriters Expo in Ventura, California so I will have a lot more interviews and tips to share with you. Also I am so happy that my podcasts have gotten over 2 million downloads to date and I am getting about 400 downloads a day on this one and growing quickly!
