Time to get back on Twitter after four years on the bench... A year off, two years investing and one year incubating...

After a long hiatus, my band YellowWood Junction is playing a reunion show at the Guild in Menlo Park, CA. Sept 9th. Very excited to jam again after a long detour through Pandora…

The secret sauce @SessionsLive is our proprietary growth engine. We spend marketing dollars to cultivate artists’ followings. Typically we 10-20x boost the reach of posts, sometimes more. By adding audience we create growth and sustainability!

Let's face it...in the world of DSPs the few winners that do exist are undeniably the exception to the rule. The great challenge is how to impact the majority of musicians? I think we've figured that out: @SessionsLive

As streaming services race for the top, musicians race to the bottom. Unfortunately DSPs will never be able to compensate musicians fairly. It's not evil...the business model just simply does not work. irvineweekly.com/islands-in-… #BrokenRecord #Streaming #DSPs #Musicians

The fact that it only takes 50 fans on @SessionsLive platform to provide an artist with a livable wage means we're on the right track! Artists...get off the DSP hamster wheel!

It's not about getting lucky in the right place at the right time or getting plucked up by the viral thing...It IS about a systematic, methodical path for artists to make more and more money over time. This is why I created @SessionsLive.

Virtual events are here to stay...period. Now the challenge is turning that into a business. @RFaughnder latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Every day another livestreaming company joins the fray, but artists don’t need more tools…They need an audience.

Keep coming back to this. Another truth - this service was NEVER about solving a problem for musicians. It was a business opportunity. That's it. And that's fine. But let's not pretend it's anything more. mixmag.net/read/former-spoti… #BrokenRecord

Martin Mills @beggarsgroup has always been a voice of clarity, wisdom and fairness. What he said still holds true. What's the point of licensed and legal if the renumeration is insignificant? ...There are other ways. rollingstone.com/pro/feature…

Hmmm...Where to begin?! There is so much troubling about this, but what's most important is to understand what this means: for services like Spotify, music is nothing more than fuel. That's it. Artists MUST find alternatives. mixmag.net/read/former-spoti… #BrokenRecord

We know this is coming... The antidote? Live AND interactive performance. Humans ultimately crave authenticity. They will hunt for something real. That's the core of @SessionsLive. billboard.com/articles/colum… #AI #Musicians #FanFic #CyberPolicy

These guys get it! They control the audience. They get paid directly and immediately...and they manage everything in one space. Mark my words, in time this will seem so obvious. This is what @SessionsLive is all about! @whydontwemusic #WhyDontWe sessionslive.com/whydontwe

No matter how you slice it...RACE TO THE BOTTOM. Musicians should own their audiences instead of renting them from subscription / advertising businesses. billboard.com/amp/articles/b… #BrokenRecord #MusiciansMiddleClass #RaceToTheBottom #Musicians

INDIE BANDS: You don't have to scale the steepest side of the mountain. Know there's another solution that will make your goals way more attainable and affordable. See you @SessionsLive! rollingstone.com/pro/feature… #TourLife #Indie #Touring #LiveMusic @HissongSamantha

So you drop your streaming fee to drive more consumption on a platform that barely pays you, and you don't own the fans. Then what? Artists HAVE to go direct. Start now. #BrokenRecord #Spotify billboard.com/articles/busin…

While music discovery is essential, there must be revenue at the other end of the discovery. Yes, streaming drives discovery, but ALL of the benefits of that discovery accrue to the streamer. billboard.com/amp/articles/b… #BrokenRecord #Streaming #RaceToTheBottom #MusiciansMiddleClass

Yikes...been there. Recorded content sets the rules. Businesses keep learning that lesson over and over again... forbes.com/sites/eamonnforde…
