ATW & Fortune Child Drummer: Christian Powers on J.R. Parks, DIY, & Kevin Elson

The battle every independent musician faces: balancing the "artist brain" with the business grind! Christian Powers and the host discuss the rare trait of bands like King Buffalo and All Them Witches (ATW) who've built entire empires on their own, often without traditional label support. Christian emphasizes the "serious grind" required to succeed and the ultimate respect owed to artists who can both create deeply personal art and consistently deliver it live, year after year.
