The REAL “secret” to success most musicians don’t want to hear about   As musicians we spend countless hours creating music, only to cross our fingers and hope our latest-greatest songs will magically meet the ears of new listeners.

In this episode, Kevin and Chris do some soul searching, and a little industry analysis, to ask questions about where DIY artists stand right now. Plus, a bunch of great listener calls and emails.          This independent pianist saw 11 million Pandora spins in the week leading up to Christmas   You may remember Michele McLaughlin from our interview with her in 2017.

Learn why (and how) she had a great holiday season.
