Insights from the Engine Room is a book written by Tony Michaelides about the music industry. Delivered to the reader from Tony’s insider point of view, IFTER is about real people and real stories. The Engine Room is the singular place where the music meets the fans and where ordinary people are made into rock stars. After 30 years in the industry, Tony shares his view from the “Engine Room” with stories about the bands, the talent, and the lessons learned in life and in business from the crazy and convoluted world of rock and roll.
“It’s a book about the world I grew up in. It’s about the people I have met and worked with, and how they became who they are today. It’s about teaching some and learning from others. It’s about growing as a fan until I was given the chance to make a living from it. It was the the job I never expected to never let go. It was an opportunity and it was one hell of an adventure. It was this pilgrim’s progress.”
