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 the process, on the general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So whether you're a grizzled veteran trying to lose 15 pounds for your upcoming reunion

tour or else a scrappy upstart, getting frosted tips for your upcoming coffee shop residency,

this is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most and ironclad

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the second Friday of June 2021 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Ban Zughal.

Built by musicians and four musicians, Ban Zughal 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 Milo who drove a Mitsubishi Mirage

with a decal of Calvin and Hobbes peeing on a Honda logo.

An old Milo 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 Ban Zughal.

Ban Zughal 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.
