[Part 2.] Is Playing For Free Always “Shameless Exploitation?” Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

My full-time job for over a decade has been performing as a freelance musician. Of course, I want people to pay artists and musicians [A TON] to perform live. So… when I saw this petition going around on Facebook saying we should force the Minneapolis Parks & Rec board to pay artists for every free outdoor concert, no matter the size… why did I initially feel like I disagreed with it?

For Part 2. of this convo, I recorded my chat with Nate Babbs [professional drummer] to see if there was something I was missing.

⌖ “The Doctrine of Creative Context” Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

If you currently find yourself frustrated because something you’re making isn’t getting the respect or recognition you feel it deserves… if you’re a musician and you feel frustrated because the value of what you bring to the table isn’t viewed the same as what you know it should be…

Back in the day, I used to jump straight into questioning myself and my art. I’ve now realized, it might not be that you’re not good enough… You might just have a “Context” problem.

※ Stock vs Sacred [Daily Guinness] Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

By buddy Joel Bowers always says, “Platitudes don’t work when you’re in pain.” So… A conversation with André and AJ before our show this weekend was a perfect moment to ask if a podcast I posted last week holds up.

It does, but I’ll need to share a gig story of mine that I’m a bit insecure about, to put my money where my podcast mic is.

※ “Anti-Performance” [Daily Guinness] Feb 11, 2024

Show notes

Lately, I’ve been getting asked to MC different events, from concerts to weddings…

Because it’s new to me, I’ve been solidifying my theory and approach to it and I’ve come up with something I call “Anti-Performance.”

A scene inspires it in Oceans 11 and has influenced my approach as a musician on stage too.

Join me over a pint at Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub in South Minneapolis and let me know if I’m on to something…

※ Don't Soak Yourself! [Daily Guinness] Feb 10, 2024

Show notes

I used to view the things I was creating as a problem to solve. Later in life, I realized it came with another subconscious belief... there's a 'right way' to do it and someone else had the answers. (or at least figured it all out before me.)
Learning from someone else's art is important but... as Orson Wells teaches us, "It's important not to soak yourself."

⌖ "Not My Cup Of Tea!" [A Curious Benediction] Feb 09, 2024

Show notes

Over the years, the phrase, “Not my cup of tea!” has given me an asinine amount of freedom. (Both as someone who consumes art and one who creates.)

Today’s “Daily Guinness” podcast episode perfectly encapsulates what I hope for most of these episodes to be like this year and is hopefully encouraging for you, wherever you’re at in your creative journey.
