I'm going to Hi and welcome to the working songwriter. The show are 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 who still has a pair of

vintage Doc Martins in the closet, or else a scrappy up start showing up to the

gig in Bootleg Yeezies. 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 third Friday of 2024 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Banzougal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzougal 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 Paolo who drove a Dodge Charger with an illegal exhaust and who was always trying to sell

you hallucinogens that he bought from Burning Man in 2003 but forgot to sell.

And old Powell 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 Banzougal. For over 20 years, Banzougal

has made it easy to build a stunning website and 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. It has everything you

need, music players, images, text bio, video embeds, a gig calendar, press quotes, and access to

Banzougal's award-winning support team seven days a week. The new EPK plan starts at just 695 per month
