Hello friends! Sonic Guild co-founder Matt Ott returns to the show for episode 1461! The 11th Annual Sonic Guild Ball is taking place this Saturday, January 18th at The Long Center here in Austin where they will be giving away $150K in grants to local musicians with performances by 11 of the 20 grant winners. Get tickets for the Sonic Guild Ball HERE. Go to sonicguild.org for more info on Sonic Guild. Matt and I have a great conversation about the evolution of Sonic Guild over the last 12 years, getting funding in a post-pandemic economy, giving away $6 million over the last 12 years, expanding to Seattle and Colorado, the role of music and live music in today's society, how Sonic Guild works, how they find artists, what's in it for the patron and much more. I had a blast catching up with Matt. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
