You're not going to be a 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, asking your publicist to book you on Jay Leno's garage,

or else a scrappy upstart asking your

publicist to book you on an influencers Instagram live. This is your show because

ultimately it is what every writer seeks most an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing. Hey guys it's the first Friday of October and I thank you for joining us. This

week's show is brought to you by Bandzugal. Built by

musicians and for musicians. Bandzugal 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

Lorenz who drove a Volkswagen Cabriolet with a prodigy bumper sticker who was always

trying to sell you hard drives filled with pirated movies from BitTorrent.

And old Lorenz would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete in like six months.

It's the future now.

You guys, we don't have to deal with web developers anymore. We have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Bandzugel.

Bandzugel powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the

world from weekend warriors to Grammy winners.

Everything you need is there hosting in a custom domain name, dozens of fully

customizable design templates, tools to sell your music and merch commission free, the ability to crowd fund for free, the ability

to do fan subscription features.
