I may be the oldest person outside of the “business” who is monumentally grateful for the efforts you have made to educate songwriters. I wrote poetry & frivolous songs in my youth, but my first real song was when I was raising several of our children, homeschooling them, and going through a terrible time in my church in the year 2000.
I retired from working for our local school district at age 58 a couple of years ago, and recently started searching for songwriter advice (at age 60) to learn mo... more
I am definitely realizing how green I am to this whole business. I am so grateful somebody is unlocking part of what is such a mystery and helping with some of the fear associated with the huge leap this is. Being 41, I know I’m late to the whole game and feel like I don’t have time for all of the mistakes. I know I will make some and learn from them, but not having to make ALL of them is awesome. Thank y’all for this. Amazing advice. I hope this podcast sticks around for a long time.
this podcast has taught me so much. going from knowing absolutely nothing about the music industry and how to get into the field of songwriting, to feeling confident in myself and in my abilities. thank you all so much for making this!
Incredibly practical, insightful, and honest. I recommend you start from the beginning and listen sequentially. Each episode builds on the previous. Thank you Kevin, Laura, and Tracy for all your hard work!!
A must listen not only for Nashville songwriters, not only ALL songwriters, but for any creative that wants to find joy and thoughtfulness in their process, and to make sure they are making informed decisions about the business side of the art. I truly appreciate this.
