We rapped about networking, creating, "Heartache Regret and Whiskey," and Hunter S. Thompson. I also challenged Eric Thompson to create 5 songs over the next year. Each song was given a creative stipulation.

Quotes by Dane Myers

" Educating musicians is the second half to making art."

"Streaming is stripping away a lot of the rights of songwriters."

" Knowing the people in your life that you have relations with, write a song that is going to relieve somebody in your life of something that they are going through. Something deeply meaningful."

Notes/Tips

To break into the market as a session player you need to be really good, play with a wide variety of players and know the right people. Practice and Networking are the key.

When playing a new venue communicate with the agent and venue owner so you know exactly whats expected of your performance. This simple gesture will clarify up and grey area either party may have.
