Avery Florence stopped by the studio on the cusp of her first tour. She was excited! “Road trip!” Her songs were a treasure trove of musical delight, and her tips about managing her own career were helpful to anyone trying to make a living as a singer/songwriter.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

* the music business

* The Harris Institute

* touring, booking your own gigs

* “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron

* writing when inspired

* collaboration

* recording “live off the floor”

* guitar or piano?

* breaking up with a band
