You can go broke attending symposiums, conferences and networking events.The only problem with these events is that they are presenting information that I don’t need right now. Give me a workshop in creating custom shows for specific demographics and I’m there, on touring without financial support,

Supper.

Do they come with fries?

Hey music associations, including managers and agents, what are we doing about this? Do you even care? Why isn’t this your primary cause? -------------- Artists in Canada have consistently earned much lower incomes than other Canadian workers open.substack.com/pub/statsins...

There are a lot of photos in my new book, that have stories behind them. These are images I selected from various exhibitions I’ve had when I was doing that kind of thing. You would honour me greatly by purchasing a copy in print or ebook format. Link in the bio. Thank you!

My father was Antifa. So were all the other Canadians storming the beach in '44.. In a Spartacus moment, when they ask who is Antifa, we should all stand up and say we are.

Elk Lake! Here I come with some Stompin’ Tom and more fun snacks bags to sing along too! I’m looking forward to seeing you all!

Jodi Timgren is one of the hard working DIY musicians I interview on The Lonesome Cowboy Podcast. My guests don’t have managers, agents, booking agents, they are working class musicians. I want to tell our stories; not there’s. Link in the bio.

Do you knew who is making money in the music business today? The folks you never heard of before trying to sell you a get on playlists system, a subliminal narrative that you didn’t know you needed, how to game Instagram and, the holy grail, how to get more bookings.

I keep seeing info that says I need to belong to all these organizations in order to get paid royalties. All right, then, I want my royalties! So I did sign up with them all. It’s been a 3 years at most and no royalties.

Yeah?!

Grants. I’ve never been successful and the thought of them makes me sick to my stomach. In the last year, my goal has been to reduce the stress in my life, and avoiding things that cause me stress, like grants, so I don’t apply for them. I don’t understand the language needed, and they’re confusing.
