  • For artists who want to work smarter, be healthier, make more $

    After working with musicians for a long time and hearing their struggles, I’m so happy that FMO is creating dialogue around their most pressing issues (burn out, mental health, making more $). This is so needed and truly helpful!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Art of Booking with Nicole Rochefort of AIM
Q: Do you encourage artists to take times of rest or build in slow touring?
Yes. We plan strap plans in the off-season, allow for rest periods, and structure touring to align with rest and growth. This helps prevent burnout and ensures sustainable progress toward long-term goals, rather than forcing nonstop activity.
Artistry, Climate & the Human Condition with Ellorie McKnight
Q: What action do you feel like your music is evoking?
She describes both inviting reflection and actively inviting climate action, such as prompting fans to write letters to the Yukon River watershed coordinator, and emphasizes that music can be a conduit for emotion that motivates action.
Artistry, Climate & the Human Condition with Ellorie McKnight
Q: Where can folks find you in the future?
Ellorie shares that she will be performing at several festivals this summer, continuing with a trio format, and that her online presence (especially Instagram) plus her website will list tour and show dates.
Artistry, Climate & the Human Condition with Ellorie McKnight
Q: So first question, why aren't you on Spotify, Ellorie?
Ellorie explains she released music exclusively on Bandcamp since 2020, a deliberate choice aligned with her values, and she believes streaming platforms can be damaging to the music ecosystem; she's not opposed to streaming entirely but prefers intentional, limited use.
On Life, Love & Music with Natalie MacMaster
Q: How did the recipes become a part of the book?
It was a natural progression from childhood memories of her mother's meals and a way to share intimate cultural touchpoints that readers would enjoy, not just musical anecdotes.
