WOTS Version 144 with Ilen Halogram and Audrey Lane

I am changing up the podcast. I did a bit of a longer intro and caught you up on why I am doing this podcast.  I am also starting to give tips on what I believe are key aspects of progressing your music career.  Today I talk about the importance of having a great recording and why it's the most important part of being a musician. Do you agree or disagree? Post in the comments on this post in facebook. I look forward to having a conversation with you.

Today on the podcast I talk to Ilen Halogram and Audrey Lane.  I took a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island to meet up with Ilen and Audrey to talk about I Am Halo.  We talked about what it's like living on Bainbridge, where did I Am Halo come from, how to create a multi media experience including virtual reality with music.  We also talked about Ilen's head trauma and how it effected her music and what it's been like since. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

WOTS Version 142 with Dirty Dirty

This week on the pod we talk to Dirty Dirty.  I sat down with Ian Forrester and Drew Shreve in their rehearsal space as they were loading out for a gig.  This week is a shorter one but we had enough time to talk about the new recording, how it spans three drummers, and how Drew is fitting in to the band.  We also talked about some goals of the band and their killer promo videos produced by Drew's brother Chris Shreve. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
