Shepherding the Flock

That roots of roots music is unquestionably the stories that stem from oppression, from outsider observation, and through self-reflection.  The roots of that music also stems from the voice of minorities and unrecognized voices.  We were so very pleased to have the time to speak with the insightful, studious, and immensely talented Jake Blount.  We discussed his new record that pulls from Southern Appalachia, African, and the Chesapeake Bay region, the work he is doing delving deeper into the origins of music, and in so doing the conversations he is inviting us as a larger community to have.  Jake Blount's Website - https://jakeblount.com/ Find us at http://tribalmischief.com

Join Ethan Baird and Jake Bush as we talk about music, community, and the world around us.  We're joined by music marketing guru, Kimberly Sinclair!  (Also, surprise guest, Philly Folk Festival's Lisa Schwartz!) The obvious yet consistent disconnect between most creators and their art is in the delivery of art to an Audience.  "Marketing" is a word that many artists stomach with a sense of homegrown facebook posts, but marketing and promotion is an art unto itself and few do it at the level of Kimberly Sinclair. Her company Spincount  (https://www.spincount.ca/) has been named Company of the Year for over 10 years by the East Coast Music Association and Music Nova Scotia.  This week's conversation touches about the unique qualities involved in making marketing work and specifically in the additional challenges that have risen due to COVID-19. www.twitch.tv/tribalmischief - We broadcast live on Twitch every Sunday at 8pm Eastern. www.tribalmischief.com - Check out our website!
