Cliff and Susan Podcast

We quiz each other on music triva during this episode.

In this episode, we discuss what we know about the latest CARES act, stimulus checks, PUA, PPP 1 & 2, EIDL, Save or Stages, and all of the great resources you can find help with on www.musiccovidrelief.com. 

We launched a new Cliff & Susan Bundle offer for $97. We talk through why and what we put in this bundle valued at $250! We've already sold a couple this evening! For other artists, sometimes it's best to tell your fans and followers how to support you, then bundle it or present it in a way they can easily consume it. That's what we are trying here. Also, tune in to hear a sneak peek of that latest song Cliff demoed and is sending to pitch.

We went to the club tonight here in Arkansas, then came home and recorded this episode. We were inspired to talk about the energy we feel from the crowds now as compared to the way it was before covid. In this episode, we make predictions about how crowds will react to no restrictions. 

We discuss everything from our favorite instruments to live and recording equipment in this episode. 

We're so excited to share our plans and goals for the new studio!

In this episode, we interviewed colleague, friend, talent, and talent buyer, Travis Smith. We've admired Travis's work and contribution to the music community in Arkansas for many years. Listen to Travis's story of how he started as a drummer growing up, and how he evolved into one of the go-to guys for all things music in Northwest Arkansas and beyond. Check out his music projects, podcasts, and new videography and media company.

What is that one thing you wish you could get done, you guilt yourself over, and you just need a fire lit under your a$$ to do? In this episode, we discuss accountability partners and ways to stay accountable. Susan ran/walked 4 miles this morning! Cliff is finally staying on track to produce his demos to Nashville. What is holding you up? Let's do this! Oh, and don't forget done is better than perfect! 

Ok, we kind of know a few things about this. Ha! We attended the Platinum Sync Bootcamp on Saturday, January 23, 2021. After working with a publishing company out of Nashville since early 2020, visiting with our colleagues, and now digging into sync placement opportunities and educational resources, we discuss what we've learned and what we will be implementing into our business strategy.

In this episode, Cliff & Susan discuss what makes a good session musician and how to market yourself in person to local studios and online.
