Q Prime's Erica Collins

What was the first concert you ever attended?

A Grand Ole Opry radio-show taping in 1988. I remember sitting in the church pew and being totally enamored of how it all happened, from the performances to the radio broadcast. I wanted to know how it all came together.

Describe your all-time-favorite photo, memento or tchotchke from your job.

A backstage pass from Oasis in 1996. My first backstage pass.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Be nice. It’s simple, but people forget.
