Summary

How much do musicians actually make streaming and performing live?

The truth is gnarlier than you think!

But we’re working hard to change that.

This is the third episode in our bonus series, where you’re hearing rapid fire interviews with musicians who are reinventing the music industry by using cutting-edge “Value 4 Value” technology.

This is all leading up to the first-ever “Sats By SW” Independent Music Summit on December 15th and our live music performance at Antone’s Nightclub on December 16th.

Today we’re here with my dear friend and longtime bandmate, Stacey McCann. Stacey is a vocalist, songwriter, bassist, and the leadwoman of S.O.B. & The Dangs (S.O.B. = Stace On Bass).

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why you need to add “getting fired” to your to-do list
How much musicians actually make streaming and playing live
What being a musician was like before social media
How to convince yourself to create your dream band
And much more…

Make sure to listen at the end of this interview for a concert recording where Stacey and I perform live as S.O.B. & The Dangs. You’ll be hearing “Surrender” and “Whole Lot of Trouble.” We hope you dig it.
