Talking Notes: The Rig, The Road, The Reckoning

First-hand interviews with working musicians about the real life of the job, the part that never makes the highlight reel.

We sit down with session players, bandleaders, musical directors, teachers and touring pros, and ask the questions most people skip: how the work comes in, how the money really adds up, what the job does to your body and your head, where AI fits, and what they make of it all looking back.

For musicians doing it now, for anyone deciding whether to, and for anyone simply curious what the job involves.
