I started my first band in 1995. It was called Skander. My friend Jimmy “Johannes” Rimmer and I played music that was sort of like a cross between Duran Duran and They Might Be Giants with a punk edge. I’ll be honest. It wasn’t great. My songwriting in particular left a LOT to be desired. […]
There’s a lot going on. Let me quickly lay it all out. NEW PODCAST Star of the County Down and how a great melody found its way into an obscure hymn. Troosers vs trousers and a double meaning in a great mashup of songs. I feel like I’m getting better at producing these podcasts. But […]

Three recent shows helped me understand how important Patreon is for musicians. They helped me realize that I need to grow the Gunn Runners Club on Patreon. For most of my career, I relied on CD sales. I could go to any convention, even unpaid, and walk away with a few hundred dollars. It was […]
Greetings I was reading my email this morning. I saw a message from the Dragon Con Filk Music Track. They sent me the logon info for my concert this Thursday. Say what?!?!? Gah! Yes. I forgot I have a show on Thursday at 8:00 PM ET. It streams in the Dragon Con Filk Music Track […]

I started working in the music business about 30 years ago. I’ve done a lot of things in the business. I’ve been a musician, a band manager, music marketer, and a promoter. Probably my least favorite part of the business is booking agent. Booking never came easy to me. It’s all about organization, contacting people, […]
I can’t express how happy I am with the new Bandcamp Livestreaming. I had a show last Thursday. It was amazing. I usually spend 1-2 hours making sure that those who bought their tickets got the URL to watch the show. It was a lot of extra stress for me. I did have some minor […]
I never thought it would happen. Musicians can now livestream shows on Bandcamp. This is a game changer. I started live-streaming shows on Concert Window maybe 8 years ago. It was not a great experience. Tips were tough. Video quality varied. Plus my gear sucked and I didn’t know as much about how to live […]
