Ventures
Cultural infrastructure built to keep artists and communities independent — from a cooperative radio station to software for self-managing artists. Each venture started from a practical gap: artists need better tools, communities need independent radio, and the business side of creative work needs radical simplicity. These are the infrastructure Nicholas has built to survive as an independent operator, now serving others.

MCR LiveTouring Tools: Software for Independent Artists
For years, independent artists managed bookings and promoter relationships through email, spreadsheets, and informal networks — no consolidated record of who played where, what they were paid, or which promoters to trust. DJs, musicians, and touring acts reinvented this wheel for every city, every year.
Touring Tools was built to solve this directly: a single operating system for the touring artist — book shows, track finances, manage relationships, build a history. The philosophy: the infrastructure for independence should be owned by independent people, not venture-backed platforms.
Touring Tools is live and in active use by touring artists.
