Welcome back after a 2 year hiatus! In today's episode of MCP, my friends John and Michael talk about gigging, mentorship, and passion projects. It's a great episode, so give it a listen and a share!#makemusicyoursNote: We had some issues with our audio recording and ended up having to use the scratch audio we were thankfully able to record. We'll have it all taken care of in the next episode.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I talk with my brother AJ about his growth as a musician and how important it is for a musician to continually develop an understanding of who they are and what they need to keep growing.

On the first episode of Music Currency I talk with my good friend Connor Husa about how he got into being a musician, the benefits of being a versatile artist, and what it means to be "current" in music academia.
