ATWS Podcast #77: Jesse Baker on the Modern Music Business

Jesse Baker, a young up-and-coming rock musician from Lancaster, is our guest today. Jesse is taking a different approach to the music business than the typical 20 year old independent musician. Jesse blogs about his music business experiences every day. He’s proactively making connections and building community in the local scene. And he’s super focused on creating movement with his art.
The results? He and his band have been together barely a year and have already headlined the Chameleon Club, played the main stage at the Launch Music Conference, and will be joining Kingsfoil on September 29th for their CD release party, one of the most talked about rock shows in Central Pennsylvania this year.
