Hi and welcome to the Working Song Letter.

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, finally giving up and agreeing to have your voice auto-tuned,

or else a scrappy upstart.

Spending more time learning to use auto-tuned software than learning to play guitar, this is your show.

Because ultimately, it is what every writer seeks most.

An iron-clad excuse to put off, actually writing.

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

This week's show is brought to you by Band's Google.

Built by musicians and four musicians, Band's Google 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 Marcus spelled with a K who drove a RAV4 with spinning rims

and who were a leather trench coat, but who would get mad when you compared him to Neo from the Matrix.

An old Marcus with a K 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 Band's Google.

Band's Google powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world

from weekend warriors to Grammy winners.
