Don't Wait On People To Do It For You | Artist: Austin Gilliam | Songs: "I'm Sorry" and "I'm Fine"

After meeting Austin Gilliam online for the interview, I now call him Awesome Austin.  Standing at 6’5” with his mountain man beard, edgy baritone voice, and beefy guitar lines, I can only imagine that Austin strikes a commanding presence on stage and in person.  

In this episode we talk about the making of his music, share some crazy gigging stories, and Austin  offers some real practical hit-the-ground-running DIY ways for musicians to effectively work in the business. 

Stay tuned to the end of the show to listen to my BULLET POINTED SUMMARY of Awesome Austins DIY music philosophy for working musicians.
