This week on the podcast we discuss recording contracts. It used to be you'd write a bunch of songs, do some gigs and keep playing until you were 'discovered' by an A&R guy from a recording company. That was (and for some still is) the major goal. BUT the music industry has changed! How do you get ahead today, and is a record deal still worth it? Join us for the conversation.
