I talk with talented soulful Country artist Morgan Myles about her budding career, her decision to move to Nashville and how she cultivated her songwriting and performing as well as important musical relationships along the way. She also talked about how to tour with a band: the joys, the pitfalls, and the strength it takes to lead.
Living in Nashville
- So much more than just country music in Nashville
- A place to hone your craft and learn from the best of the best
- A great city for networking
- Central location makes it a great home base for touring
How To Tour With A Band
- How to tour with a band by setting the dynamic and energy of the band
- The lead singer is the team captain
- Learning how NOT to treat your band from lessons she experienced on the road singing and playing for other artists.
- How to tour with a band by staying focused on the positive things happening around you
Using Cover Songs to Attract New Fans
- Choosing songs that align with her soulful sound
- Tool for fans of song’s original artist to discover her music
- Putting your own spin on a cover
- Covering songs that aren’t necessarily big singles
Touring Strategy
Why she held off on touring until she had an EP that expressed who she was as an artist
- Honing your live performance craft in town v. on the road
- Live performance is her biggest selling point
- Don’t spend the money to tour if you’re not ready or don’t have something to promote
