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, selling Korean-made parker flies at the local guitar

center or else a scrappy upstart, purchasing your first rat distortion pedal off of Craigslist,

this is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most and iron-clad

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's Good Friday, 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Banzougal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzougal 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 Arlo who drove a Ford Explorer with

a lift kit and who was always trying to sell you joints that only had CBD in them, that

he claimed could cure major clinical illnesses and old Arlo 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 Banzougal.

Banzougal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend

warriors to Grammy winners.

All the features you need for a professional website are already built in.
