Ep. 41 : Myths and Misunderstandings in the Music Business with Kevin Bowe


Listen Later

The music business is a realm filled with anecdotes and half-remembered stories that often get mistaken for gospel truths. We've all encountered strong opinions and tales about "the way things should be done." But what do these notions really mean? How can we separate fact from fiction?

In this episode, I'm joined by the renowned Kevin Bowe to debunk some of the most pervasive myths, misunderstandings, and outright lies that circulate in the industry.

Kevin Bowe is a multifaceted writer, producer, mixer, and musician, boasting credits on multi-platinum, Grammy-winning albums. His impressive roster includes collaborations with legends like Johnny Lang, The Replacements, Etta James, Joe Cocker, Paul Westerberg, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, 3 Dog Night, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Steven Van Zandt, Communist Daughter, and many more. His songs have even been performed by icons such as Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen!


Tune in to hear our take on common myths like:

  • "The music industry is dead."
  • "You can't make any money in music!" 
  • "I just need..."
  • "Cover songs are selling out."
  • and more
  • Kevin is an incredibly talented, kind, and funny guy, and I can't think of a better industry veteran to learn from. Enjoy!
