How can a cooperative model allow musicians to receive 100% of ticket sales for their live performances? How can concerts be a pathway towards community building?

Ebony speaks with Kyle Schmolze from Groupmuse, a worker- and musician-owned cooperative. He shares the evolution of Groupmuse from their inception 11 years ago, how they transitioned from a traditional business model to worker and musician ownership, practices of honoring musician diversity and time through supporting Black artistry and ensuring minimum guaranteed payments, as well as the power of music to cultivate community.
