Chicago BlueManGroup drummer/Music Director Jeff Quay escorts us into exactly how he got the gig at BMG in New York and how it seemed so right, why he never had a job besides drumming, why he and Fred Armison are homies, and why Julio Iglasias fired him before the tour even started. Hint: never talk to the back up singers.

Episode 18 - Jeff Quay

Musician/engineer/bartender Allen Epley talks with artists of all walks and at all levels of success about their own unique journeys and jobs they've worked in order to follow their passions. Many successful musicians, actors, filmmakers, composers, and comedians still have side gigs that afford them the ability to create their art for us. Some get to work in their chosen field and some work jobs that are convenient and make that buck. It is this unique hustle that's at the heart of this podcast. How exactly does the sausage get made when there are bills to be paid? And what drives these maniacs to make our desperate lives better with their art when the pay-off often fulfills their hearts but not their bank accounts?
