Ron Stutts interviewed Billy Maupin for “This is Tourism” on Thursday, February 22, 2018. Billy is the General Manager at Yep Roc Records and Chief Marketing Officer at Redeye Worldwide.

“We’re really passionate about finding and working with artists who have something to say creatively. And want to latch ourselves on to what they’re doing and help elevate what their game is. That’s the ‘artist-driven,’ we’re really taking our cues from the artist and what they’re saying with their music.”

Yep Roc Records hosted Yep Roc 20 in October of 2017, a music festival in Hillsborough, North Carolina to celebrate 20 years of Yep Roc music and history. The festival brought hundreds of visitors to Orange County that made a positive economic impact on the community.

“We know that for every dollar spent on arts and entertainment events, that about 2.5 go back to the individual businesses in the community.”
