Ep. 21 with I, The Mountain
On Episode 21 I chat with Matt Lamers, Allison Dyjach, and Rory McLachlin, who are 3 of the 4 members (not including Matt Rappolt) making up Ontario based folk-pop band, I the Mountain. The band is known for their joyous harmonies, interactive live performances, and passion for building community through music, and they’ve built a fanbase of loyal “Mountaineers” across Canada. You can find them performing at this year’s Mariposa Folk Festival, and keep an eye on their socials for more show announcements this summer.
Check out their new single, Fade away on all streaming platforms!
On this episode we discuss…
- The inspiration behind their new single, Fade Away.
- The writing and recording process of their new single.
- How they write together as a 4-piece band.
- Their upcoming performance at the Mariposa Folk Festival.
- Working with engineer/producer, John Dinsmore of the Lincoln County Social Club on their latest releases.
- Working at Port William Sound, which is a studio near Kingston, ON that offers an opportunity for creatives to work with zero distraction, a warm inviting space, and an inspiring landscape.
- Tools you can use to pinpoint your release’s genre and target playlists more efficiently.
- How you can manage the costs and budgets for your releases as an independent artist through grants like FACTOR, Ontario Arts Council, Waterloo Arts Council, etc.
- Opportunities like FACTOR’s Artist Development Grant to help fund your releases, music videos, artwork, and more
- Ask your band and musician friends for advice!
- Promoting music using social media strategies and/or marketing/PR agencies like Auteur Research and From the Strait.
- Using platforms like Daily Playlists, Musosoup, SubmitHub, and SoundPlate to pitch your music to playlists, blogs, magazines, and more.
