If something is broken, fix it. That's what my dad told me when I was a kid.

The simple fact is things break all the time. We don't fix always fix them. We get stuck in a rut.

But it's the way things have always been. The way things are. It's a tradition. So we choose not to change.

2018 was a good year for me. I rebelled. I broke down traditional music business barriers. Now I'm forging a new path for a new year for my music...and for this podcast.

The Pub Songs Podcast is reborn this year. It's a little bit more like a pub. I'm not gonna plan every detail of what I say. Instead, I'm gonna kick back. We're gonna chat about music... and stuff.

Pub Songs Podcast is music and community. If you like, tell a friend or interact. Support me on Patreon. Subscribe to the podcast and my mailing list. PubSong.net.
