Hey musician buddy friends, need advice and info. Looking to get input on services and scams you have seen, used, heard about, thrown money into burning pile of trash with, felt ashamed over, attended 12 step meeting because of, or that worked good for promoting music.

Looking for indie level marketing, playlisting, social media services, licensing, distro, as well as radio promo work. Whatchu got? If you are embarrassed to publish, DM me the cost and results. I will protect names but goal is to share info, help our community sift through the BS.

Had a great talk with my buddy Chris J Norwood on his podcast THE STRANGEST GIG. We discussed my most memorable awful gig playing on dirty 6th st in to the ass end of a puppet show ( and Toby Pipes) at a pirate bar.
