#192 - DAS sind die besten Tools für deine Band!

Travis McNamara was last week's guest as well. I split this conversation up into two episodes because most of the first half of the conversation was about Travis' new album and his career as a touring artist and front-person. The second half delves into a topic that piques the interest of almost every creative on the planet... crowdfunding. Travis is the founder of Arthouse Consulting, where he uses his experience to help mid-level artists raise $25K or more on Kickstarter for their upcoming projects. Over the last few years, he's already helped artists raise upwards of $1.1 million.

140. Tips For A Successful Kickstarter

My guest this week is singer-songwriter and performer, Travis McNamara. His music bridges on several different styles, but if you're looking for a common thread, start with bluegrass. McNamara, the longtime front-person for CO based, Trout Streak Revival, spent his covid time like many of us, writing and creating. "Moon Calendar" (2023) is McNamara's first plunge into the solo artist world. 

He is also the founder of Arthouse Consulting, where he uses his extensive background in nonprofit fundraising (he held down jobs at PBS and the Denver International Film Festival) to help artists raise money for Kickstarter.

Please note, the majority of this episode is about Travis McNamara the artist, and the majority of next week's episode delves more into crowdfunding. Tune in next week to check that out!

139. Travis McNamara

This week, I chat with Nashville’s own Zach Allen - a multi‑Grammy-winning recording engineer, producer, and mix engineer whose credits span Americana, blues, rock, country, and beyond. With nearly 20 years in the music industry, Zach brings a rare blend of technical mastery, creative sensitivity, and a studio presence that helps artists realize their vision￼.

Some highlights of our conversation include:
	•	His journey from graduating Full Sail University and interning at The Tracking Room and eventually becoming the head engineer of the studio.
	•	Working on award-winning projects including engineering Grammy-winning albums for legends like Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, and Christone Kingfish Ingram
	•	Philosophy on vocal production
	•	Thoughts on AI in the music industry
	•	Helpful tips for recording a live show

Whether you’re an aspiring artist, indie producer, or just music-curious, this episode offers a rare inside look at the mind and methods of someone who’s helped shape some of the most compelling recordings coming out of Nashville.

An Angel’s Retrospect

LOCKED

⚠️ **ARTIST WARNING – FAKE RCA PROMOTIONS SCAM** ⚠️

This song was inspired by a scam that targets independent artists and songwriters. Scammers are impersonating **Keith Rothschild (Head of Promotions at RCA)** and **Christian Salhany (A&R)**, promising development deals, record contracts, or studio sessions. They may send fake contracts, ask for upfront money, or push you to hand over your music files.

👉 **The truth:** RCA Records does not approach artists this way. Real opportunities come through official channels, with proper contracts handled by attorneys and without requests for money.

If you get one of these messages:

* **Do not send money.**
* **Do not sign fake contracts.**
* **Verify all emails** (real RCA addresses end with `@sonymusic.com`).
* **Report it** to RCA/Sony Music and the FTC.

These scammers prey on passion and dreams. Don’t let them. Stay alert, protect your music, and know your worth.

This is why I wrote *“Smoke and Mirrors”* — because no one should fall victim to the lies behind the curtain.

Podcast 1267: The YouTube/Google Ads Rockstar Guide for Musicians (Music Business Bassics) by Carter Fox

SUNKENROCK

Raised in Concrete Washington, I learned to play the guitar when I was 12 years old.  We had a music teacher by the name of Daryl Cooper who was like my older brother.  He started a guitar class and I couldn't wait to be in it.  By the 2nd or 3rd week I had probably outgrown the class but I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was in his band by the time I was 14 playing dances all over Western Washington.  I was awarded the National Choral Award Scholarship my senior year of high school.  This goes to one student in the United States.  I wasn't smart enough to use it.  I joined the United States Navy in 1979 and stayed for almost 22 years.  During that time I was a submariner and eventually the pilot of a small submersible (DSV3 Turtle) that would dive to 10,000 feet deep.  I was in bands playing guitar and singing throughout my military career.  We actually had a couple songs play on DC101 in the 80's.  Now in my 60's, I'm able to relax and write songs without any pressure or dreams of grandeur.  I like the songs I write and hope you like them too.
