“
I’m not blaming anybody. Or lamenting. Or complaining. I think labels can be great. I think industry (which is a word that means work) can be an amazing thing. I don’t really know if the old way was better or worse, I can only see what it leaves behind as it comes tumbling down.
What I do know is that I can start my own system. I can use the tools of communication, networking, and technology to help my fan base be part of my art. I pre-sold my album to fund the recording and now I’m pre-selling shows before I even book them so that I can come and play for my fans wherever they want me to play.

This is such a wonderful idea. In some ways, scary as these times might be, they’re also great times for us creative types because we get to set the rules, and change strategies if we need to. The power of the Internet is the power of community. And as Kim has shown us, it CAN work for musicians.
