Eager Music - The Independent Musician's Resource

I had the opportunity to talk to Bri Cauz right after her Mountain West tour! We talked about her tour experience, from planning, to travel and performing as well as talk about her process in writing/recording her album "Trials & Triumphs."

Hot off the release of his sophomore album, "Riverside," I sat down with James Spaite to discuss his musical influences, and his process to write, record and now promote his new album.

My opinion on crowd engagement and why engaging your audience, through your performance on stage, is crucial to your success.

Some people say that to have made it, your band needs a top 100 song, sell out an arena, have over a million spotify plays, double platinum album, hand shake with the queen, etc. But thats not necessarily true.

"For The Record is a Ska band from the central valley of California.
