​​​Backstage Organics Story
​

​“Backstage Organics”
first known as Isness Productions
was born when Scott met
a Lakehouse Catering chef during
The Allman Brothers performance 
At the Lockn Festival in Virginia
​September 2014

Scott was invited to
come to New Orleans for a week
to work with Lakehouse Catering
​on the set of Trumbo 
to Provide some organic superfoods
for the cast and main crew
October 2014

The same caterers asked Scott
to stay a few extra days
and join them for Artists Catering
at the Voodoo Festival

Go Raw, Big Tree Farms,
Organic India
and local organic
cold pressed juice company
Raw Republic
all seized the opportunity

With the unexpected help
From a Live Nations
Operations Director,
Scott had an all access backstage pass

for the weekend where he
introduced Performers and crew
​to some of their organic products

Scott just visiting New Orleans 
for the week
​decided to stick around awhile
​and register a new business
Isness Productions LLC

After 50+ shows as IsnessPro
up and around the South
​Scott relocated back to San Francisco
​and changed the name/business to
Backstage Organics LLC
2016
