Hello 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, Joe Pug.

Each episode here we host a distinguished guest,

and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration,

on the process, on the general ups and downs

of making a life in music.

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran,

grateful that the cities you've been touring to

for the last 15 years all have pour over coffee

shops now, or a scrappy upstart wishing the

cities that you're toying for the first time had some actual danger to them still

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 last Friday of October 2019 and I'm so happy that you're

here thanks for joining us.

This month's show is brought to you by Band Zugel.

Built by musicians and four musicians.

Band Zugel is an all in one platform

to build a beautiful website for your music.

and it would always inevitably be some guy named Marco

who wore Jinkos and a stoozy visor

and who would have a baby pacifier
