   From Managing Music Legends to Unimaginable Loss I Burt Stein (S3 Finale)

   Burt Stein has over fifty-three years of experience in all facets of the music industry. Just out of college, he began his career in April of 1972 in Chicago, where he was tapped by industry veteran Jac Holzman to work with him at Elektra Records in promotion. In 1975, Elektra Records merged with Asylum Records, and Stein was approached by David Geffen to move to the West Coast and create a rock and roll promotion division at the label’s Los Angeles headquarters. While at Elektra/Asylum, Burt became Vice President of Promotion and helped launch the careers of and worked with music heavyweights including Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, The Doors, Carly Simon, Queen, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, The Cars, Bread, Grover Washington Jr., Eddie Rabbitt, Motley Crue, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, and others. After 11 years on the label side, Stein launched artist management company Gold Mountain Entertainment in 1983 with partners Danny Goldberg and Ron Stone. He also spent time with manager Freddy DeMann at DeMann Entertainment, working with artists including Madonna, Lionel Richie, Divinyls, and The Smithereens. Burt later returned to Gold Mountain, launching a Nashville branch in 1994. Over the years, Gold Mountain has managed a wide range of artists including Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Rickie Lee Jones, Beastie Boys, Bonnie Raitt, Belinda Carlisle, Steve Earle, Lorrie Morgan, Gin Blossoms, and many more. Gold Mountain Entertainment Nashville currently manages Ronnie Milsap, The Band of Heathens, Daniel Rodriguez, Anna Moss, Handmade Moments, West Texas Exiles, Chicago Farmer, The High Hawks, and the estates of Nanci Griffith and The Crickets. This episode goes beyond Burt’s remarkable career. At its core, it’s a deeply personal conversation about grief, faith, and resilience, as both Burt and Brad share the unimaginable experience of losing a son and what it means to keep moving forward.
