The family continues to grow, and in the newest TFAM episode featuring Drew Doepke (Rebel Soul Revival), it's more evident than ever. We continue to meet professionals in the music industry that genuinely want to see other projects succeed as much as their own. Drew is no exception. He has a big heart, and you can tell by the way he talks about other bands that for him it's not a competition, he just loves music. Brock Galauner (White Buffalo Music Fest, Dreamers & Doers) also joins us in this episode as we talk about projects we're involved in, how Rebel Soul Revival put together their 6-week tour, recording at IV Lab in Chicago, and much MUCH so MUCH oh so mucho more! Wait, I didn't even mention how ROCK that one-minute tune is. Well ... it's ROCK. Make sure to use headphones!

This marks the first episode where Jason isn't on the kit as our first guest Chris Sanchez (who's only 17 though you wouldn't notice judging by his work ethic) an up and coming drummer out of Chicago IL throws it down dirty with our second guest Angrous (in his late 20s) a calm, cool, and collected MC out of Elgin IL who's demeanor would have you believe he's been doing this his whole life not just the last 5 years. In this episode we talk Top 5 artists, what the Hip Hop culture actually is, Family / Crew vs Friends, and how relationships can affect pursuing music. Not to mention The Roots, Black Thought, Ric Wilson, and more as we hear some stories from shows Chris has been blessed enough to play.

Season 2 Ep. 2 is LIVE with THE RYANS (@ryancaldwellmusic and Ryan Worthy @shadyplayband) - link is in our BIO. Let me start off by saying the one minute tune we made for this episode is by far one of my favorites, we like to call it Disco Funk and word on the street is @jeffchi_music is looking to add some bars to it! We talk about band couples, learning skills we never thought we would due to being full time musicians, and how not to be a jerk-musicians. Use headphones.

In this episode we sat down with Jake Mack (‘Lesser Stags’ not included). Jake is an extremely hard working, honest, and passionate guitar player / songwriter; he’s been working as a full time musician for the 4 past years (in 2017 he played 192 shows) and this episode is packed with practical advice on how he stays above water in an ever changing music industry. We talk about influences and mentors such as Gregory Hyde, venues and venue owners that are doing it right like The Law Office Pub and Boyd Ingemunson, artists Bob Weir, Cory Chisel, and more.

This here episode was a blast! Jeff Chi is the very first TunesForAMinute guest that found us online just from browsing instagram. His goal this year was to start playing with a band but he wasn't sure how to go about it until he found us. It's been about 3 weeks since we sat down with Jeff and we have put together a lot more than just a minute of music at this point. Keep an eye out for upcoming show dates! All songs featured in this episode are Jeff Chi.

Podcast episode #2 and video session #16 are here. This time it's Gary, aka Sleepless out of Elgin IL. We had a great time with Sleepless; this guy is genuine, passionate, and believes in what he's doing. We cover the beginning, i.e. why he started playing, to present day happenings all in under 21 minutes. Let us know what you guys think and be honest! Much love. TFAM
