Hi and welcome to the working songwriter.

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

to have nice things now. One of those nice things is Banzugal. For over 20 years, Banzugal has

made it easy to build a stunning website, an 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.

Everything you need is already built in.
