DAVID VERBUČ Nonmusicians as “Pillars” and “Icons” of US DIY Music Scenes I start this article, which is about the role of nonmusicians in creating and sustaining music do- it-yourself (DIY) scenes in the United States, with a short ethnographic and biographical insight into the article’s main concerns. I introduce in this regard a DIY organizer named Rick Ele and some of his ruminations on the topic. Rick was a longtime live music organizer in the Davis and Sacramento, California, DIY scenes, and in that way, although he is not a musician himself, significantly contributed to the local music DIY culture. He booked a significant proportion of all the DIY shows in the area in the late 1990s and the 2000s, and he also arranged regional and national tours for local DIY musicians. Rick often organized shows in multiple local DIY houses (including DAM Haus in Davis, where he lived for several years), in other local DIY spaces (e.g., the Hub in Sacramento), and in some local bars and community centers. He was also an active organizer of DIY shows in Portland, Oregon, for a brief period of time when he was studying there in the early 1990s. In
