You're not going to be a 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 remember the password to

your 2005 ReverbNation account, or else a scrappy upstart.

Trying to remember the password to your Four Loco Influencer account.

This is your show, because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most, an iron-clad

excuse to put off actually writing. Hey everybody it's the third Friday of January 2021 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. And it would always be some

guy named Daniel who drove a Nissan Exetera with mortal combat decals on the back

window and who would always try to sell you clonopin pills that he crushed up and sold in big league chew bags.

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

in like 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 Bandzougal. Bandzougal powers the websites of

tens of thousands of musicians around the world

from weekend warriors to Grammy winners. Everything that you need for a

professional website is already built in, hosting in a custom domain name, dozens of fully

customizable design templates, you could sell your merch, commission free there.
