You only need one. Guitar, amp, snare drum, crash cymbal, whatever... You can use the same one for every song for the whole of your career and it's fine.

https://t.co/Jwz3SYZppl Still a handful of tickets left for my show with @joehicksmusic @StNicksBev! (Maybe I’ve got a very precise number of fans in the Beverley area 😂)

It’s been said before but music managers, A&Rs and booking agents don’t just pull opportunities out of thin air. They pitch YOU to potential opportunities. So if YOU aren’t at the top of your game those opportunities aren’t gonna appear…

Why aren’t more indie artists making playlists of their favorite songs categorized by mood and putting their homies on there. Then sharing and tagging all the artists included on the list, then all the homies and artists on there all sharing and promoting it? 🫣

Top tip: consult as as many industry friends as possible before releasing your new album! So many great records get released, go ‘poof’ into the world, get lost, and just disappear. Talk to people about your plans. Hey, talk to us!

If you don't want refugees living in hotels, tell our govt to process their claims so they can work. If you love our country treat those less fortunate with dignity and respect. It’s not hard.

First, Carsie Blanton is great. But the music business? Not so much. Her story.

There were about 50 people in the 5000+ capacity second stage tent
