This week on Scene Support, Scott sits down with Max Kozol, a Massachusetts-based promoter, sound tech, and junior talent buyer at The Middle East in Cambridge. Max talks about going from booking shows for her own band to helping build bills across Boston and Cambridge, including her work with Broken String, O’Brien’s Pub, Warehouse 11, and the wider DIY scene.

The conversation digs into the realities of booking shows, supporting touring bands, building community, keeping scenes safe, learning through mistakes, and why hospitality, flexibility, and genuine care matter so much in underground music.

Scott and Max also swap stories about tour chaos, backline disasters, band names, burnout, and the people who keep showing up to make DIY music happen.
