Hello friends! Austin based, singer-songwriter Scott Strickland returns to the show for episode 1418! Scott has a big show coming up here in Austin next Friday, August 23rd at the legendary Antone's Nightclub with special guest Jo James. You can get tickets for the show HERE. You can also go to scottstricklandband.com for show info, music, videos, and more. Scott and I have a great conversation about his work with the Austin Music Commission, the Austin music industry infrastructure and how it works, the Live Music Fund Grant, his recent trips to the U.K. and the Pacific Northwest, songwriting, faith, playing ticketed shows vs. hired background music shows, finding happiness, and much more. I had a great time catching up with Scott. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
