Hi. 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

who still has stories of getting into a bar fight

while you're in Bill Monroe's band in 1952,

or else a scrappy upstart,

who only has a story about their MySpace

account being hacked in 2007 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 first Friday of August 2024 and I thank you for being here. This week's show is brought to you by Banzugel.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzugel 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.

It would always be some guy named Larry who drove a Mitsubishi Galant with one of those nitrous things from Fast and Furious

and who was always trying to sell you ditchweed from Arkansas that he got from his cousin.

And old Larry 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.
