Episode show notes:

In this episode, Benedikt is joined by Adam Croft from the band The Grand Caravan. A group that makes music for wandering souls and vibe-chasers, rather than sticking to any one genre.

They talk about Adam’s journey as a musician, his time in our coaching program, The Self-Recording Syndicate, how the band has evolved over time, and what it was like working on their latest recordings. 

Adam shares his experience going from home recording setups to professional studios, and the lessons he’s picked up along the way.

This one’s full of honest insights about growth, learning, and staying passionate - whether you’re tracking at home or in a fancy studio. 

Adam and Benedikt also get into the balance between focusing on feel vs. getting caught up in the technical side of things, and how collaboration and spontaneity often lead to the best creative moments.

Some key takeaways from the conversation:

• The Grand Caravan is a band built on vibes, not strict genres.
• Adam is all about learning, growing, and keeping the creative fire alive.
• Home recording is awesome, but sometimes a pro studio can take things to the next level.
• Don’t try to master everything at once. Pick one thing to focus on and really learn it.
• earn to trust your ears. Gear and theory are cool, but what you hear is what really matters.
• The process and having fun along the way matters just as much as the final result.
• And above all, if you love making music, don’t hold back. Just go for it.

Enjoy!
