Howdy there music fans!

Running this show all by myself proved a gargantuan task. Thankfully now I have some help. I’m extremely excited to announce that I have partnered with Atlanta Institute of Music to produce WorkingInMusic.

Recording students at AIM will record the audio portion of the show, edit and then mix. It’s a win for everyone involved. The students will get experience with location recording and I’ll get professional quality audio, something I know the show has lacked thus far.

I have a friend, Bill Stoll, helping me out with filming episode five. Bill has lots of experience filming and has done a number of his own projects. I am looking for a regular cinematographer to help film the show as Bill is on the road frequently. If you read this and are up for the task let me know at james@workinginmusic.com.

Another reason to be excited for episode five is our subject! Juliana Finch and I used to work together. She’s a very intelligent, gifted and talented singer/songwriter. Juliana uses social media to truly engage with her fans. We will talk about how she does it as well as her creative coaching and her “Songs For Fans,” project on Facebook. It will be a great and informative conversation. We’re also going to get a performance from Juliana.

I’m very excited for all of these reasons, to get the show going again, this new partnership with AIM and Bill Stoll and to hang out with Juliana. Follow me on Twitter, sign up for the e-mail list, subscribe to the RSS feed or like the fan page on Facebook for updates. I’ll let you know when the show is available.

Episode 4 of WorkingInMusic is an in-depth conversation with seasoned session drummer and recording engineer Brian Stephens. Brian shares valuable insight and experience on succeeding in the music business. We talk about his practice routine, how he built his studio, Bonzo Tunes, and how he uses social media to promote his business.

Please share the video. Please give some feedback on the content.

Do you know a success story I could share?

I’m excited about this episode, because it’s finally done, and the information Ben Allen shares is very valuable. With over 15 years of experience making records Ben has lots of wisdom to share. Ben has worked with Beastie Boys, Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, Matt & Kim and Deerhunter to name a few.

Episode 4 is shot and will be up soon. Also I’d like to interview a woman for an episode. If you know of a woman who has great experience in the biz let me know, james@workinginmusic.com.

Here it is! After several setbacks it’s the first episode of WorkingInMusic. To say I’m excited is an understatement. It’s been a long time coming. I have 3 more interviews already done and those will be up soon once I get back from Cambodia. For now, enjoy this conversation with Daniel Gardner and Rob Dyson. Please leave comments and tell a friend.

Here’s a quick promo from Brian Stephens. We had a great time with Brian and look forward to sharing our conversation soon.

Still working on this but what do you think?
