On this episode of the podcast Cody sits down for a chat with YYC blues rocker Mitch Belot. The two of them chat about the versatility of being a solo musician that also has the ability to rock out with a band, in this case the Mitch Belot Band. They also cover a wide variety of other interesting subject matter including: using music as a conduit to make people happy, how there’s something truly special about singing while also playing an instrument, realizing that there is no right way to write a song, the voice being just another instrumental component of a song, the weirdness of playing virtual shows that lack the feedback that you get from a crowd, finding unique ways to deliver live music to your audience in a pandemic world, developing new skills out of necessity, developing a new found appreciation for live music events, the ins and outs of working with a significant other, being honest with the people you collaborate with and not taking criticism personally, seeking honest feedback as a creative person (Your moms always going to tell you you’re the best), leaving room for interpretation in your art, the importance of time management for the full time musician, trusting in your local venues to provide you with good live music, and how sometimes its even hard to find the energy to do the things you love most in the world. You can listen to the song Sky Blue off of the bands most recent album All For Nothing at the end of the episode.
