Celebrating his 30th anniversary in the music industry with his band âThe Nadasâ, singer/songwriter, and founding member Jason Walsmith joins us in the studio to talk about his career. Jason has spent his adult life as a career musician, storyteller, photographer, traveler, and adventurer.
The celebrated folk-Americana act The Nadas have amassed a loyal and dedicated following over the past three decades for their engaging live shows and distinctive 70s-meets-90s sound. Blending twangy, Stones-era âcountry honkâ with raw, alt-rock energy and wistful, folk-leaning melodies, their music is as alive as it is authentic. Over 30 years of making music together, The Nadas have shared the stage with The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Big Head Todd and Barenaked Ladies, been inducted into the Iowa Rock ânâ Roll Hall of Fame, sold over 300,000 albums (even in a time when you canât buy a CD player), earned praise from a wide range of major publications, and written the theme song for their hometownâtwice.
During his musical journey, inspired by the case of an old family heirloom that has stood the test of time, Jason has taken the elements of the design to create the heritage designed, soft-sided guitar case created to protect your favorite guitars through all of lifeâs adventures: heavy dry waxed cotton duck material that is naturally water repellent and durable, a quilted cotton felt interior and features high quality leather and brass zippers.
Interesting tidbit of information here⊠Jasonâs band âThe Nadasâ was named âThe Best College Band Youâve Never Heard Ofâ by Playboy Magazine in 2001.

Meet Dave Lenahan. He started out in the music business by being a DJ at WKSU radio on the campus of Kent State University, doing afternoon drive time jazz. He went on to work at Country Station WUBE in Cincinnati OH, but in short order he determined that he was destined to become a hit songwriter. We discuss the anatomy of the song, how to put one together, and what separates a tune from a hit.
Dave currently resides in Nashville TN, writes songs for a living, and hosts the podcast âSongwriter Connectionâ which has released more than 150 episodes on the exploration of songwriting.
Also joining us in the studio is award winning record producer Steve Creech as our special guest co-host.

Unless you work for a major corporation within the music industry, and are blessed to have a great benefits package, you must fend for yourself in order to provide the tools needed to get by in life: health insurance, retirement plans, and the general skills to run your own business. Make no mistake about it, if you are a freelance technician in the touring business â you ARE your own business. This is where the vision of the Touring Career Workshop comes to life: a simple workshop where a lot of the success tools needed are presented by experts in each of their respective fields.
One of the resources that Touring Career Workshop provides is dealing with mental health. Their âAll Access Onlineâ program provides mental health counseling with a designated counselor either online, or out on the road depending on the conditions, giving a chance for touring professionals to discuss their difficult moments and work through those challenges that arise, whether it be time away from home on the road, or those day to day life situations that sometimes pop up. Executive Director Chris Lisle, along with special guest co-host Sharon Lee who is the CEO of High Road Trucking, join us in the studio to explain how these, and other services and opportunities are available to those who work in the music touring industry.
The Touring Career Workshop is a free annual event created by industry veterans Chris Lisle and Erik Parker, designed to serve and educate their colleagues in the touring music industry. The inaugural TCW was held in November 2011 at Belmont University, and was attended by over fifty industry professionals. In the past several years well hundreds of touring industry people have attended their events. TCW is an official IRS 501c3 non profit.

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding the nearly 1400 independently-owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today, 17 years later, Record Store Day is celebrated at independently-owned brick-and-mortar record stores around the world.
On this special edition episode of The Business Side of Music, frequent guest, and music industry veteran Jack Sharkey, explains how Music Store Day came about, its significance in the music business, and how it benefits not only the brick and mortar record stores, but also the independent artist and their artistry. We also discuss the difference between vinyl, CDâs, and mp3 files.
Music platforms mentioned on this episode include: Tidal, Qobuz, & Deezer

Stone Senate has been called âa heavier version of Lynyrd Skynyrd, crossed with The Allman Brothers Bandâ. While being mentioned in such heady company is flattering, it is important to note Stone Senate is most definitely not a retro act. They are taking what came naturally from their collective influences a step further and making a name for themselves in the world of modern country rock.
The band is fronted by vocalist/ guitarist Clint Woolseyâs smoldering, soulful vocals and unmistakable stage presence. Meanwhile stage left and stage right are burning down with dual lead guitars/vocals of James Beau Edwards and Brother Ted Hennington. Add to that the bonded rhythm section of Kieran Cronley on bass and David âDZâ Zettler on drums/ vocals, and you have caught lightning in a bottle.
Stone Senate has toured with Bulletboys, Uli Jon Roth, Davisson Brothers Band, and Tantric, and direct support for bands such as Styx, Collective Soul, Jackyl, Cowboy Mouth, Saliva, Little Texas, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Quiet Riot, Asleep at the Wheel, Lit, Alien Ant Farm, Tom Kiefer Band, Billy Gibbons and the BFGâs, Tim Montana, Uncle Kracker, Rehab, David Alan Coe, Whitford â St Holmes, David Lee Murphy, Andy Ross, Mike Zito, John Micheal Montgomery, Eddie Montgomery, and Confederate Railroad to name a few.

âWatching Guns Nâ Roses from the side of the stage in London, standing on the set of Saturday Night Live with Paul Simon, receiving a signed skateboard from Carrie Underwood, and mixing front-of-house sound for KissâŠâ
These are just a handful of experiences in the rearview mirror of Phillip Krizâs extraordinary journey in the music industry as a sought-after âroadieâ tech, band assistant, and trusted tour confidant. Following nearly 15 years as a dependable road dog, he embarks on what might be his wildest trip yet, making his literary debut with the fictional novel, The Roadie Cartel, in 2023.
This action-packed thriller follows a family immersed in drug trafficking under the cover of the music business. Itâs about what could go on behind backstage...
âItâs the struggle between good and evil set in a world I know very well,â he says. âIt follows a character who believed one path was her destiny, only to find out where she was really meant to be all along.â
Born and raised in El Paso, TX, Phillip discovered music through his parents. Beyond spinning classics by Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan, mom even played Howard Stern on their drive to school. Predestining a future in the business, she also brought Phillip to his first concert â U2 and Public Enemy at the Sun Bowl. Not to mention, he caught Robert Plant & Jimmy Page and Alan Jackson when they rolled through town. However, a Pink Floyd gig would be the point of no return for him. After a stint working in the food service industry in San Antonio, he attended and graduated from Full Sail University in Orlando FL where he also worked his first production gigs. Eventually, he landed his âdream jobâ at production powerhouse Clair Global. Coming full circle, his first assignment placed him on a jaunt with Guns Nâ Roses in 2010. He hit the road for the better part of the next decade. Clients included Alicia Keys, The Scorpions, Justin Bieber, Florida Georgia Line, Paul Simon, Carrie Underwood, and Queen & Adam Lambert, to name a few. At the onset of the Global Pandemic, the business shutdown, and Phillip found himself at home in Nashville, where he found himself beginning the journey as an author.

You crafted your songs. You've put your heart and soul into them, but when you're on stage, the response from the audience is lackluster at best. Is it the material you're performing. In many cases, while the songs are excellent, the presentation is not. Where in the song is the moment on stage that defines who you are? This is where Tom Jackson Productions steps in.
As a trained Live Music Producer for Tom Jackson Productions, Amy Wolter offers her
years of personal experience onstage, along with a multi-layered musical background, to
help artists engage their audiences by creating compelling, memorable live shows.
Amy has helped hundreds of artists of all genres, prep for major headline and opening act
tour slots, and showcases for labels, and spoken at Artist Workshops around the country.
A few of her clients include Grammy award winners The Band Perry & Lacrae, CMA and
ACM âwinning country acts Gloriana and Thompson Square, Riser House country artist
Dillon Carmichael, Capitol Christianâs breakout artist Anne Wilson, contestants for The
Voice & American Idol, Dove award winners Francesca Battistelli & Sidewalk Prophets, as
well as top Canadian artists & Canadian Country Music Association winners High Valley,
Jess Moskaluke & Chad Brownlee.Amy works with artists at all levels, empowering them to have confidence and authority
onstage. "I've learned by a lot from being onstage myself, and know the importance of
connecting with an audience. If a crowd doesn't enjoy watching you, or have an
âexperienceâ at your show, then what's the point of them seeing you live?" says Amy. "The
ideas and tools in Tom Jacksonâs Live Music Method are absolutely career-changing when
an artist understands the power of a great live performance!âwww.onstagesuccess.com

Continuing our ongoing series of "Between The Notes" episodes with music industry veteran Jack Sharkey, We have a discussion that is often overlooked, or at the very least ignored... The loss of hearing due to years of performing live music. Jack, who himself suffers from hearing loss because of loud volumes on stage (along with a inexperienced sound engineer on occasion), had permanent damage done to his ears after decades performing live. Ironically, Sharkey also works in the audiophile business for a speaker company, and explains how hearing damage can affect your day to day living, whether its with family, or in the workplace. This outcome comes down to causing injury that can be permanent if not addressed. Jack shares thoughts on how to prevent hearing loss, and what it takes to get some of those frequencies back if the damage is done.
As for the episode title, you'll just have to tune in and listen (it comes from the usual antics Jack and Bob do while in the studio!).

What started out as a project in a screenwriting class in a writers boot camp, has turned into a novel describing how Nashville, also known as âMusic Cityâ evolved into what it is today⊠or not. Nashville Tennessee is well known for its Country music, but did you know that the birthplace of Rhythm and Blues, or what we these days call âR&Bâ actually was born in this Middle Tennessee City we call Nashville.
The moniker âMusic Cityâ was actually derived from the1860âs after the Civil War, when the Jubilee Singers from Nashvilleâs Fisk University performed in front of Englandâs Queen Victoria, preceding Country music by approximately 80 years or so.
In the studio today, we chat with author Paula Blackman about the ânight musicâ that took place in Nashville in the midst of segregation in the 40âs, 50âs and early 60âs, how the legendary Nashville TN based WLAC Radio had the ability to broadcast across the Eastern United States, and how this worked out in the favor of introducing R&B Music to the World.
A retired gemologist, Paula Hope Blackman turned her lifelong storytelling hobby into a second career, becoming an author, screenwriter and playwright. She is a sixth generation native of Tennessee, who divides her time between Nashville and Southwest Florida, where she lives with her husband, Michael Iacampo.

dis·rup·tion (noun)
Definition: "A radical change to an existing industry or market due to technological innovation."
According to our guest Jack Sharkey, who is with KEF Audio, music and the culture at large needs disruption to keep it fresh and engaging. The digital revolution and the chokehold the âindustryâ has on art has made it nearly impossible for the next generation of disruptors to be heard.
There is plenty of good music being made today and we shouldn't always subscribe to the philosophy that music was better back in the day so to speak. Music is music, and it will always touch those who wish to be touched by it. The difference today is the folks who control the money arenât willing to upset the apple cart by taking a chance on something that hasnât been tried before.
Who are the disruptors of music today? When can we anticipate the next Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, or The Beatles, all who turned the music and cultural scene upside down?
On this very special edition of The Business Side of Music, we share the microphone with Jack Sharkey, who in addition to being a technical advisor for KEF, is also a Blog writer, and the host of the "Between The Notes" podcast show.

What makes a successful singer or songwriter? Is it perseverance? Is it working with seasoned co-songwriters or industry veterans? Could your stumbling block be the lack of networking or that first impression? There are often more questions than answers. Enter Marc-Alan Barnette to help us navigate those swampy waters.
Marc-Alan Barnette, aka âTHUNDER THROATâ, has always been a âsquare peg in an octagonal holeâ. His blue eyed soul voice, has drawn comparisons to Ray Charles and Delbert McClinton, and his seemingly endless collections of songs pretty much summon up everything, covering country, blues, rock, bluegrass, soul, and every comedy. The man has a lot of sides.
His over 40 year career in music has spanned the rock era of the70âs and 80âs, moving to country in the late 80âs, scoring songs recorded by âGRAMMY WINNER SHELBY LYNNEâ (THATâS WHERE IT HURTS), country superstars, DAVID BALL (TOO MUCH BLOOD IN MY ALCOHOL LEVEL) JOHN BERRY (RESCUED ME), and Warner Brothers artist FRANKIE BALLARD (BAREFEET) and many, many, more. A natural born entertainer, he is a bundle of energy, often described as a âcross between professional wrestling and tractor pullâ something you just have to see to appreciate. His songwriting is instinctive,covering many genres, and always lives up to a line in his songwriting anthem, âTABLES AND CHAIRSâ that says, âYou donât choose music, music chooses you.â
With Marc-Alan Barnette, it seems music has chosen wisely.

We canât believe it's been six years in the making to get to this moment, and we wanted to do something special⊠or at least different. For the first time ever, the host of the show, Bob Bender, becomes the guest! After all this time, we find out what makes Bob tick, how (and why) he got into the music business, and the reason he stuck with it for 50 plus years. He also shares some of the inner workings of the music business, including its sometimes not so nice side of the industry, along with the perils and pitfalls he faced along the way. Hosting the show is Bobâs good friend, Joe Hand, who takes the helm, and asks the hard questions. Thereâs even a nice little surprise at the end of the show that pretty much left Bob speechless (almost).
Joe Hand is a lifelong musician, producer, recording artist, and writer. A graduate of Bostonâs Berklee College of Music, Joe has been making music for over 35 years, both on stage, and in studios all over the world. Heâs worked with such diverse artists as Linkinâ Park to John Michael Talbot.

Youâre an aspiring musician, and you want to learn from the best. But sometimes it becomes difficult, as the student in many aspects, has learned as much as the teacher in their hometown knows. But finding music instructors of the next level can be time consuming, and often quite expensive. Enter the online platform âOpen Studioâ. Created by entrepreneur and acclaimed jazz pianist Peter Martin, this web-based program affords you the opportunity and ability to learn from some of the best musicians in the world. At your pace, and within your level of expertise without fear of being overwhelmed.
In this episode, we discuss the Open Studio concept, how it's designed to work at oneâs own pace, and its benefits as a useful and versatile learning tool for creative musicians. We also chat with Peterâs new jazz album project titled âGeneration Sâ.
Peter Martin is an acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, arranger, educator and entrepreneur.
His touring career has taken him to six continents, and Brian has been invited to play the White House on several occasions.
Peter Martin performed on and arranged Dianne Reevesâ Grammy-winning release A Little Moonlight and appeared in George Clooneyâs 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck, as well as being the featured pianist and an arranger on the Grammy-winning soundtrack. Peter has also performed, toured, and recorded with Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, Betty Carter, Christian McBride, and Joshua Redman, as well as the Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.
Peter attended the Juilliard School of Music and has been on the faculties of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, Northwestern University, Tulane University, the University of New Orleans and New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. He has performed workshops and master classes at institutions worldwide, including Oberlin College, Duke University, the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshops, Steinway Piano Gallery, the Rotterdam Conservatory, and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music in Glasgow.
In 2015, after launching an successful educational video podcast, 2-Minute Jazz, Martin founded a revolutionary jazz educational web platform, Open Studio, where students from over 120 countries are part of an active community and are continuing to learn from Martin, Dianne Reeves, Fred Hersch, Christian McBride, Greg Hutchinson, Romero Lubambo and other artists.

Back in 2014, there were 15 record pressing plants in the U.S. along with approximately 30 facilities around the globe. There are now 55 record pressing plants in the United States, and 200 plants worldwide. The demand for vinyl records has never been higher than it is now. Because the industry has become craft oriented in recent years, an employee who works in these facilities, which has anywhere from 5 to 14 presses, now has to go through at least 10 to 14 months of extensive training before they can ever press the button to create a vinyl record of consistent quality. But getting that quality to become the industry standard has taken time to get all of these plants on the same page. Enter Dustin Blocker and Alex Cushing along with their trade association VRMA.
After spending 17 years as the lead singer of the rock band, Exit 380, Dustin Blocker co-founded Texas-based independent record label Hand Drawn Records in April 2011. Spending several years building the community of artists through live events and regional record releases, Blocker, and business partner, Alex Cushing, launched the vinyl record manufacturing arm of the business, Hand Drawn Pressing in December 2014, with the newest vinyl record presses on the planet in over 34 years landing in January 2017. In December 2019, Blocker along with several other company leaders throughout the vinyl record supply chain, launched the trade organization, Vinyl Record Manufacturers Association (VRMA), whose membership includes; vinyl record pressing plants, PVC compounders, cutting engineers, electroplating houses, recording studios, brokers, printers and record labels.
