Eighth Note Sessions

In this episode, we join in conversation with David Cloyd. David is a recording artist and co-founder of Buffalo Music Club, among many other hats. This time around, we talk with David about his musical journey and process as well as what to expect for his plans for our upcoming 716 Music Expo. The Expo will feature 8 different workshops curated by Buffalo Music Club, including a songwriting workshop presented by David himself. The workshop will be a holistic approach to creating music, centered less on perspective applications of music theory, and instead about achieving flow state and personal connection to your expression.
