Marketing tips, gear and creating a successful life as a full time working sax player. Here’s the second part of my visit with the award winning Edmond Baker, Jr!
The Band of One podcast contains actionable advice, marketing and how to fine tune your solo, duo or trio musical group for maximum success and profits. Where to look for potential gigs and how to approach potential clients for best results. What to do and what to avoid in your solo or small group efforts.
I've been a working professional musician since 1972, a full time guitar, bass and voice teacher since 1986 and a voice talent since 1997. I'll share my 50 years+ experience along with that of other performers who've done the same thing elsewhere. My goal is to help you have greater musical and financial success.
