“Cooking for Ghosts” (on art & self-promotion)
Description
Every musician wants to be heard. But what if you’re the reason no one’s listening?
In today’s podcast episode, “Cooking for Ghosts” I talk about a tour-van convo with my buddy Matt Patrick, who dropped a line that punched me in the gut: Making music but avoiding self-promotion is like cooking all day at home, then whining about why you don’t have a restaurant yet.”
We talk about the myth of “getting discovered,” the real war between art and exposure, and why it’s not about selling out - it’s about putting the damn food on the table.
