Eric Fuller has spent years on the other side of the barricade, moving backstage at nearly every major music festival and concert the touring circuit has to offer. When Eric Fuller joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, he pulled back the curtain on what that access really looks like and what it has shown him about the live music world.
The conversation shifts from festival stories into a more serious concern Fuller has been sitting with — the drug crisis in America and what he has observed about it in the spaces where it plays out most visibly.
