We get to some new stereo sounds in the pedalboard and even a short lesson on outlining dominant chords in today’s episode…

But first, in a music industry dominated by the internet, streaming, social media, and ten-second clips, I’m trying something a little different.

I’ve always had the red light on when I’m playing live. I’ve recorded hundreds of shows over the past two decades, many of them as a bandleader performing my own music.

Now, I’m sharing them in a new project I’m calling The Record Store. I get so many emails asking why I’m not on Bandcamp or where people can buy my music because they don’t use streaming services—and this is my answer.

All the live shows from the past, every studio album, and as many new live recordings as I can add in the future will be available for download in one place: The Record Store.

As I mention in today’s episode, if just 1% of this channel’s subscribers bought one album, it would fund one—possibly even two—new studio albums within the next 12 months.

So, as I continue my quest to write, record, and release as much music as possible while I’m still here, I hope this project will help fuel the creative side of my career and make it possible to bring you new music on a regular basis.

More soon,

Janek
