Hi. Hi and welcome to the working songwriter.

The show where today's best songwriters come to talk shop.

I'm your host, Joe Pug.

Each episode here we host a distinguished guest and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration, on their process, on the general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran trying to convince Diadario

to give you your string sponsorship back,

or else a scrappy upstart trying to convince teenage

engineering to give you half-off an OP-1 this is your show because ultimately it is

what every writer seeks most an ironclad excuse to put off actually

writing. Hey everybody it's the third Friday of March 2024 and I thank you for joining us. This week's show is brought to you by

Bandzougal. Built by musicians and for musicians, Bandzougal is an all in one

platform to build a beautiful website for your music.

I'm old enough to remember when you had to pay somebody called a web developer

to get a website made.

It would always be some guy named Andre who drove a Subaru sidekick with vanity plates that said

Mr. Xanax.

An old Andre would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete

in six months. But it's the future now. You guys,

that's not how it works anymore. We're allowed to have nice things now. One of those nice things

is Banzugel. For over 20 years, Banzougal has made it easy to build a stunning

website and online store for your music. Now, they've added a brand new EPK plan so that musicians can create a professional single page electronic

press kit in minutes.
