There will be other avenues to empower the independent musician

Who plays the instruments?

session musicians and worked with a producer on the last two

Do you tour?

used to do a lot of that.

some gigs, but solo or duo. traveling with a band (and even gigging with a band) is expensive

How do you promote yourself?

networking! Groups (meetup.com is good in the USA)

being an artist is a business (if you are serious)

You have to reach out to people! You can just dump it places!

Doug is ok with it: “You are doing it wrong!”

No one is more passionate about your music than you! (maybe your mom...)
