It’s Episode 59! I've been keeping myself busy this week, putting the finishing touches on my social media workshop here in town and checking out the GALA arts and music festival at my favorite farm. I also spent time at a long and wild town meeting where funding for our Library, Senior Center, and Parks and Recreation were thankfully secured.

On this show this week I’ve got your music news and we’re talking Copyright issues and Art funding cuts in California of all places, Moby’s music library, and a treasure hunt from Thom York. And we continue the marketing tips on what you need to do before announcing a show. Plus music- some awesome music from awesome indie bands! It’s… awesome!

It’s Episode 58! This week I’ve been keeping busy with some fun community projects and had a really cool experience helping out a young musician with his senior project. I’m also thinking ahead to some local music ideas that might be in the works. Of course, I’ve got some fresh indie tracks for you, plus we’ll talk about a few interesting things happening in the music world—from new ventures by familiar faces to the government backtracking on regulating AI. Stick around for a little music history and a cool bit of good news on the tech and sustainability side too. Thanks for hanging out with me!

It’s Episode 55! This week I’m doing something a little different. Since I’m out of town this week the show is just an interview, no music or regular segments. I interviewed my longtime friend Jack Mangan. I've known Jack for over 20 years, and he just launched an incredible new nonprofit called SLAM—Support Life and Music.

In our conversation, Jack shared his journey from musician and podcaster to industry advocate, and how he realized there was a real need for support in the music community. We talked about everything from how tough it is to make a living in music, to how SLAM is building programs like online support groups and informative panels to help musicians feel less alone. It was such an inspiring chat, please follow SLAM on all the socials and help spread the word!
