Summary

What do real musicians think of AI-Generated music?

In this 4-part bonus series, you’ll hear rapid fire interviews with musicians who are using cutting-edge podcasting 2.0 tech to reinvent the music industry.

This is all leading up to the first-ever “Sats By SW” Independent Music Summit and our live music performance at Antone’s hosted by the inventor of modern podcasting and legendary MTV VJ, Adam Curry.

We’re here today with Johnny Elrod, fellow Texan, musician, and drummer for FM Rodeo. In this episode, you’ll hear:

What real musicians think about AI-Generated music
How to approach learning a musical instrument in an age of distraction
Why having your own music library is better than Spotify
Why labor-intensive hobbies that don’t have a financial pay off are worth it
And more…

Hang on until the end of this interview to hear a track from FM Rodeo, “Rit Jons.”
