You're going to be. 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 showing your nephew the Les Paul guitar that Dwayne

Alman once borrowed from you at a gig or else a scrappy upstart.

Showing your uncle the MIDI controller that Skrilix once borrowed from you at a DJ set, 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 fourth 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 Gabriel, who drove an Acura Integra with an aftermarket spoiler and a

a Von Dutch bumper sticker and who was always trying to sell you pirated copies of the movie Gattica and old Gabriel would charge you

Gabriel would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be

obsolete in six months but it's the future now you, that's not how it works anymore.

We're allowed to have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Banzugel.

Banzugel powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend warriors to

Grammy winners. Everything you need for a professional website is already built in, hosting

and a custom domain name, dozens of fully customizable design templates, tools to sell your

merch free.
