Who We Are

The fall Workshop is a free annual event founded by Chris Lisle and Erik Parker to support and educate professionals in the touring music industry. Since its inaugural event in 2011, the Workshop has grown to serve over 350 attendees annually. As an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ECCHO Live offers resources like expert-led sessions on health insurance, retirement planning, and business management tailored for freelance technicians who are, in essence, running their own businesses. Beyond the workshop, ECCHO Live provides networking events for industry connections and the "All Access" program, which offers free counseling sessions to support mental health and well-being.
