Matt ... Whether you're slugging it out in small clubs, or selling millions of albums, there are consistent themes that run through every artist's experience. Matt Malley, former bass player for the band the Counting Crows, has done both and he shares his experiences as an indie artist and as a member of a major label touring act. Matt joined up with the Counting Crows in 1990, when they were just a California indie band struggling to find a name for themselves in the Bay Area. Little did Matt know that the Counting Crows would soon become a household name. After years of success, platinum albums, and hit songs, Matt left the band in late 2004. Once again he found himself back in the world of indie music, though a bit older and wiser. In 2008, he released his first solo album on CD Baby. Matt's journey as a musician has become a familiar story as major label artists decide that DIY is sometimes a happy alternative to the rigors of a major label relationship. In this episode: Some keys to the Counting Crows success and even a couple mistakes!

The cell phone has rapidly evolved. Itrsquo;s hard to even think of another technology that has changed as quickly as mobile phone technology. The way we use our phones has changed drastically as well. What started as just a portable phone, has turned into what is now basically pocket computer. In many cases, the actual phone is the least used feature of the device. In this episode, we talk to Bill Thompson, from Full Sail University, who teaches a course on Mobile Marketing Commerce. For the indie artist, the mobile phone offers a world of possibility.

That's what we're here for! Increasingly, TV shows, films and advertising agencies are looking to indie musicians to find the perfect song for their project. Likewise, indie artists are looking to make their music available to services that can often times turn their tunes into income. Sync licensing is the process that makes this all happen. In this episode, Kevin interviews CD Baby artist Gavin Heaney (Latch Key Kid), whose music ended up in a recent Super-Bowl commercial, as well as Joey Prather, who owns Blue Scout Music, a music licensing company in Portland, OR. The music in the show is from CD Baby Artist Latch Key Kid The Coke commercial mentioned, can be found on the Latch Key Kid website. Blue Scout Music can be found here.

Artist management may not be the first thing on your mind when you've got your amp cranked up and your creativity flowing. But management is just as essential to cultivating and maintaining a successful music career as is producing killer new material. It also takes a lot of time, business skills, and connections in the music world. So, how do you manage the business side of your career and leave room for making music? This conundrum is why we sometimes turn to bookers, promoters, or artist managers to help us along the way. But is it really prudent to hand over certain responsibilities to a manager in exchange for 15-20% of your hard-earned profits? What if this manager could double or triple your music related income and get you really sweet gigs and publicity? These concerns and more are addressed as Kevin interviews savvy artist manager and consultant, Tom Simonson. Tom shares his knowlege from both a corporate and indie perspective, helping us decide whether it's better to look for a manager or to manage ourselves.

What does Duff McKagan, bass player for Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver, know about indie music? More than you might think. All musicians--famous, infamous, or unknown--begin from the same basic place. A place where desire, vision, and ambition move their hands to fret, hit, pluck, or punish an instrument to a perhaps obsessive degree. Duff is no exception. Just like the rest of us, he has struggled to find success in his musical journey. In today's episode we get two stories: the story of how Kevin, our host, comes to interview one of his musical heroes, and also how that hero has built a successful career based on some of the same DIY and indie values that we speak so much about on the show. Join us for this special interview as Duff reveals how one of the greatest rock records (ever) came together, but even more importantly, how a successful musician was made along the way.

It's easy to promote in the real world right? All you need is a killer demo, a staple gun and a winning personality. But what if you're not the outspoken type? What if you're more the seclusive mad-scientist sort who locks him or herself in his/her room tweeking soundloops or rerecording that xylaphone melody 100 times without a thought to weather it could be performed live. Playing live and touring is still the best way to make yourself known, but more and more artists are making their careers online. With billions of music fans scouring the net everyday for new and exciting music, how come you're not selling millions of albums--if not millions, why not thousands? You've got your own website. You're on CD Baby, MySpace, iTUNES, Napster, Facebook, Friendster and more. So what's the secret? Maybe it's time to think outside of the box when it comes to this whole music promotion thing. Maybe you're just one good idea away from selling thousands of CDs without ever leaving your bedroom. Now, As we continue with the topic of using video to promote your music, we'll be talking to Jen Scaturro (aka I AM JEN). Her project, The Broken EP, had been available online for almost two years, but it wasn't until she released a homemade music video that her sales really gained online momentum.

Moving Rushmore started out a little different than most bands. When the band was just taking shape, they decided that video would be such a crucial part of what they do, that Tim (Their video guy) had to be a full fledge band member. Before they even had a bass player, they had Tim. So what does a band do with a videographer? Film everything of course! From the beginning, Patrick, Jason, Brent, Dave, Tim and later Kirk, have documented their journey on video and released it to the world in the the form of a video podcast(vidcast for short). Throw in a front page feature on iTunes, and you have the making of some serious musical momentum! Their story is a great example of how you can turn a good idea and a little DIY ingenuity, into thousands of new fans. To download the MR vidcast from iTunes, click HERE!

The former member of the 80rsquo;s group, The Del Fuegos, stumbled into his biggest musical accomplishment to date, creating a brand of kidrsquo;s music that is enjoyable for the whole family. His albums and performances are more than just music, but a unique experience that encourages community as well as participation. After a packed show at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR, Dan took time with us to recount his story. It begins with him hitting the streets, selling CDs out of the trunk of his car.

Is it possible that these methods and programs have been trying to attack the music promotion question from the wrong angle? Thatrsquo;s where Lisa Lepine comes in.
