On this episode I chatted with Ed Eason, current guitarist for Carrie Underwood. We talked about his history in music, his struggles as an early artist in Nashville. His big breaks and the taking a risk to leave a stable gig to tour with a brand new artist beginning her career in music. We all know how that turned out!  "As a guitarist, I have the good fortune to play and tour with artists who have sold well over 25,000,000 units. I get to play on the biggest stages around the world performing in front of a million + fans per tour. If there is an award show or tv show to play, I've most likely played it...multiple times. These shows include Saturday Night Live, The Grammys, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, CMA Awards, ACM Awards, People's Choice Awards, Letterman, Leno, Fallon, Good Morning America, Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve at Times Square and countless more. For the past 11 years I have been and am currently a guitarist for Carrie Underwood. Other platinum and multi-platinum acts I've performed with include Steven Tyler (Live pre-superbowl Crossroads), The Band Perry, Lindsey Buckingham (VH-1 live Fashion Rocks), SHeDAISY, and many more."

 This week I'm talking with my friend Ben Phillips who has done pretty much everything there is to do in the music industry.  We are discussing road vs session drumming, relationships, producing, mixing, editing, demos vs. master recordings and how exploiting your strengths can give you an advantage at making a living in the music industry.Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*Started playing drums at nine years old.*Found ways to be around music anyway I could growing up.*Went to Belmont University and studied studio engineering.*I changed to session drumming as my focus.*I would take any gig learning to play in all situations.*Right out of college I had my first road gig with a signed artist from an audition.*It was a stepping stone for me getting that experience.*That led to a gig with a signed country artist because of relationship I had with a friend of mine who worked for the producer Dan Huff told him to put an band together for the tour and he called and asked if I was interested.*It took 4 or 5 years of being in town and building relationships before I got that opportunity.*The friendship I had with a bass player in college led to most of my gigs in the early days.*New drummers wanting to do studio work should work on listening to everybody else, really listening to the vocal and going back and listening to how what you play affects the other parts.*It’s good to understand production and know that there is going to be more stuff added later.*You’re there to serve the producer and the artist, not yourself.*Some people I have drummed for on records are Matthew West, Rush of Fools, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Blake Shelton, Chase Rice, Chris Jansen and more.*When I was tracking drums in sessions I got be around a lot of great studio engineers and I got to ask them questions and learn a lot that way.*I went through a period where it was hard to find good paying gigs and I quit for about 2 years.*I moved away from Nashville and when I came back I decided to put a studio in my house, so I started reconnecting with and building relationships with friends from Belmont while meeting new people.*It was slow for a few months while trying to reconnect and get work.*I got a call from a college friend who needed me to play drums on session for CCM producer Pete Kipley at a studio on Music Row.*Pete had a friend producing a song for Rebecca St. James for the Narnia soundtrack and asked if I would play drums on that.*That led to a lot of work on different projects which set me on the path I’m on now.*All of these relationships led from one thing to a bunch of things.*I never know where the next lead or next step is going to come from.*When it came to getting good drum sounds, I didn’t like how others were doing it so I learned to do it myself.*I was one of the first people in Nashville to have a home studio before it became the norm.*I got married so I moved the studio to another house in a different part of town.*Because of another relationship I met a guitar player named Ilya Toshinskiy and he got me a lot of work doing country demos at my studio.*Country writers were coming in all the time so I got to do a lot of work tracking and mixing for Shane MacAnally from the show Songland, Old Dominion, Sam Hunt, Kacey Musgraves and more before their careers took off.*When you’re mixing a song with a writer there, you get more time to sit and talk with them and build relationships with them.*A “demo” is a demonstration recording to show the label or manager how the song could go.*Chris Jansen’s radio single “Buy Me Boat” is the demo that I recorded and mixed.*A country or CCM demo average cost is $800 - 1000 for a full demo per song.*A major label Country album recording can cost $20,000 per song on average.*A Contemporary Christian Music label song is on average $2,000-4,000 per song.*I can do a demo in about 4-5 hours per song, which is very fast.*Musicians make about $60 an hour and usually do 3 songs in 3 hours at a time for $180 to record a demo if you’re with the Musician’s Union.*On a master scale recording that ends up on an album the musician will make up to $750 for 3 hours an average.*On a demo you only get paid for the work recording the demo.*Recording on a album cut you can get royalties on the back end as well.*A studio can be $2000 per day.*If there is a bigger budget, everything is going to cost more just because you can charge it.*They only charge $1000 per demo because they have to pay for multiple demos to then choose which songs to use on the album and re record those demos, so the demo budget per song is lower.*Engineers and mixers only get paid for the initial work on the song, no back end royalties, so they charge more up front.*A friend asked if he could do some guitar overdubs at my studio with producer Scott Hendricks and we hit it off and that got me working with him doing editing for major albums like Blake Shelton and more.*Editing is cleaning up the recordings and making sure that everything is lined up and any pops and clicks, etc. are gone.*Slow down and listen.*I’m still striving for the next thing, still pushing for how to improve and get better, how to get to the next level.*There is no finish line.*I’m still learning how to play the game.*What is the game? Music business, politics and relationships.*What I want to put out in the music business is my reputation, cause if I don’t have a good reputation, I don’t have anything.*I sold my studio and started renting space at Sea Gayle Publishing to focus on mixing and to be able to go to other studios to work.*I had to change people’s perspective of being the guy drummed and could mix to being the mixer or the producer, so I sold my studio.*There’s really no difference between and demo and a master recording. It just depends on if the demo gets placed on album or not. It still needs to be done at the highest level possible.“Phase” is timing so when you put a plugin on something and there’s delay compensation and it’s not compensated correctly, it’s going to be out of phase from what you originally tracked it from depending on what plugin you put on it.“Phase” is not a technical decision, it’s a creative decision.*I can do a complete demo of a song from start to finish in 5-6 hours.*A lot of people will send me a demo they had done somewhere else and ask me to fix it and make it better using the existing tracks.*Production is managing expectations.*Exploit your strengths.*Go to where they’re making music you want to be a part of.*The studio world and the live world do not generally mingle in Nashville.*If you don’t want to play live, don’t start.*It’s a paradox because when you start out you have to take any gig that will come along and a lot of times that’s a road gig.*I didn’t really start working until I realized this is a business first.*I am in the service industry of giving my clients what they want.*Have integrity and be fair to everybody and have a good attitude.*Marriage relationships are more important they your musical job so make decisions based on that.*There are 100x more people making a living in the music business that are not famous than those that are famous.*You never know what an opportunity will lead to, so say yes when you can.*Work begets work.*Make a decision and if doesn’t work, make a different decision.*Most people want me to send an mp3 attachment, not a link.*Give the client what they want.*Send links that do not expire. Ben Phillips started playing drums at the age of 9 in Atlanta, Ga. At age 14 he began engineering at his church and school. He continued this tag team with different bands until he got to college at Belmont University in Nashville, Tn. There he started focusing on recording and playing in the studio. When he graduated in 1997 he began touring with signed country artist SheDaisy, and a variety of local bands, while also recording with various christian and independent artists.

Gordon Kennedy - Episode 1 Show Notes:I sat down with hit songwriter, producer and musician Gordon Kennedy to discuss his successful career, the ups and downs of the music business and how taking a series of one steps can lead to a great career in the music industry.Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com.Gordon Kennedy’s social media links:www.gordonkennedymusic.comwww.facebook.com/gordonkennedymusicTalking Points:* I think we're supposed to pray about and do our due diligence and get a peace about what's the next one step to take. Then when you take the one step, guess what you do? We do the same thing again.* Just one step is all that matters and don't get too bent out of shape over long-term plan.* Gordon has been building industry relationships since high school.* “Change The World” took years to write in small amounts between multiple writers. Once it became a single for the soundtrack, then that event caused   me and Wayne [Kirkpatrick] and Tommy [Sims] to start getting calls from people about "would you write us a song?" "Would you do one for Bonnie Raitt?", etc.* For some it doesn't make sense to do a publishing deal these days because publishing companies can't really pay. In fact they're embarrassed to offer what they're able to offer these days to a seasoned writer. * If people don't buy music, then you see the these draws (advances) that publishing companies give writers diminish to the point where they'd rather not offer a deal than offer the kind of deal they can these days.* Income streams for songwriters and publishers in performance royalties is still there.* Mechanical royalties (CD sales, etc) has pretty much vanished.* You have an advantage if you're an artist because a publisher can see an artist as being somebody that is going to bring them recorded songs rather than songs they have to go hit the sidewalks to pitch to try to get recorded.* Single steps lead to these other things.* Advantages of a publishing deal - someone to connect your songs to major artists.* Advantages of being self published - getting more money when a song is cut.* Tip Sheet - an industry form for publishers and song pluggers that list artists going in the studio and types of songs they are looking for.* Gordon has been a live player, a session player, a producer, a published writer, a self-published writer. * This is a calling that is on my life.* God doesn't call the equipped, God equips the called.* I’ve tried the best I can to let priorities shape my goals rather than the other way around. A lot of times if your goal is to be a star, then your priorities can suffer as far as how you're going to be a husband, how you're going to be a father. They have to get in line behind these priorities, otherwise I'm not interested in that particular goal if I have to leave my family for weeks and weeks on end and be gone to achieve this goal, I'm not interested in that goal anymore.* If you're getting called a bunch for something, pay attention to what that might be and maybe that's something you should investigate.* Ricky Skaggs talks about God wanting us to study on and think about what the next one step is. Pray about that and when you get a peace about it, take that one step and then do the same thing again.* You’re writing your personal story right now. Be aware of that. Do the work now, don't put it off.Links:* Podcast Facebook* Podcast You Tube* John Martin Keith Instagram* John Martin Keith Twitter  Gordon Kennedy - BIOGordon Kennedy is a multi-Grammy Award winning songwriter and record producer, a virtuoso guitarist, and a music industry visionary in Nashville. With his love for storytelling, vintage guitars and his deep knowledge of music history, he has emerged as one of Music City’s most beloved Ambassadors. Kennedy’s live shows are a treasure trove of colorful backstories and outstanding performances that one only as talented and immersed in rich experiences can truly deliver. He came by it honestly as the son of legendary guitarist, Jerry Kennedy.Kennedy sites his guitar pickin’, record producing dad and his singing mom, Linda Brannon, as his biggest musical influences. “While other families might gather around the TV to enjoy time together,” Kennedy recalls, “we gathered around a tape machine. My dad would come home every night and bring us new music that he had just recorded. My brothers Bryan, Shelby and I couldn’t wait to hear from Roger Miller, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, The Statler Brothers or Jerry Lee Lewis.” The Meet the Beatles album his dad gave him when he was five, and more records from his father’s days as an executive of the Mercury Records office of Nashville, provided him with a diverse diet of music. This, along with a basement full of his father’s guitars, a jukebox and a piano, nourished and inspired him as he became one of music’s finest songwriters, producers and players.Kennedy’s most successful composition is the international hit song Change The World recorded by Eric Clapton for which Kennedy and his co-writers received a Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1996. The song won Record of the Year for Eric Clapton, and spent a record breaking 81 weeks on the top of the charts. In 2007 Kennedy also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album, co-producing, composing and performing on Peter Frampton’s Fingerprints album.  Bluegrass Legend Ricky Skaggs’s Grammy nominated Mosaic, released in 2010, was produced and co-written mostly by Kennedy. It was a career bending recording that was a departure from Skaggs’s bluegrass records. Skaggs called in Kennedy to produce after hearing his song demos. He wanted to recreate the Beatle-esqe musicality that Kennedy captures on the record.In his early career, Kennedy was a member of the Christian Rock band White Heart for six years in the 1980s. His substituting on a few shows for high school friend Dan Huff ultimately led to a permanent position as the band’s lead guitar player and songwriter. Huff became a successful record producer and would later hire Kennedy to play on many records that became gold and platinum recordings. Kennedy played on Reba McEntire’s first #1 hit, Can’t Even Get The Blues in 1975 while a young student at Belmont University.Kennedy recalls that songwriting began to click for him in 1991 when he began co-writing with his friend, Wayne Kirkpatrick. Dogs of Peace formed in 1995. Their first album, Speak, was released in 1996. Twenty years later, in 2016, Kennedy, Jimmie Sloas, Blair Masters, John Hammond and Jeff Balding reunited for a second album called Heel. Kennedy, Kirkpatrick and Tommy Sims would later join forces in co-writing one of the biggest chart topping hits of their generation, Change The World. Kennedy not only received a Grammy for Song of the Year in 1996, but in 2002 a plaque on the Record Walk of Fame. In June 1997, the Southern Songwriters Guild inducted Gordon into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in a ceremony in Louisiana.As a songwriter, Kennedy has written 15 songs recorded by Garth Brooks. Kennedy co-wrote You Move Me recorded by Garth Brooks which reached #2 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart in 1998. Brooks subsequently recorded ten more of Kennedy's songs on his alter-ego album, The Life of Chris Gaines, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Kennedy will join Garth Brooks 2019 Stadium Tour on guitar. “Garth and I have been friends for many years. It’s a great honor to be asked to tour with him and the other fine musicians that will be a part of the band.” It’s a feather in the cap of a successful career for Kennedy to accompany his friend Garth on this legendary tour. “It’s not just anyone I’d leave my family, the comfort of my home and my studio to hit the road with, but Garth’s an exception.”Bonnie Raitt has said that Gordon Kennedy is “one of her favorite songwriters.” It’s no surprise then, that four of her five recent singles have been Kennedy compositions. Kennedy's songs have also been recorded by artists including Alison Krauss, Stevie Nicks, Faith Hill, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, and Carrie Underwood. His compositions have been heard in the film soundtracks of Tin Cup, Phenomenon, For the Love of the Game, Where the Heart Is, Almost Famous, Summer Catch, Someone Like You, The Banger Sisters, Instant Family, and Disney’s The Fox & the Hound 2.He has lent his talents as a player to Don Henley, Kenny Loggins, Reba McEntire, Michael McDonald, Leanne Rimes, Bruce Hornsby, Little Big Town and Shedaisy, among others.Seals and Crofts 2, the Beatles cover band Mystery Trip, and Tom Petty cover band The Petty Junkies are current projects Kennedy enjoys. He recently produced Shifting Gears, the new solo project of his longtime friend Larry Stewart of Restless Heart.As a Belmont University alumnus, Gordon has been recognized as a Morris Family Mentor & Lecture Series, Curb College Distinguished Lecturer, and in 2014 received the Curb College’s Robert E. Mulloy Award of Excellence. Kennedy currently serves on the Belmont University Advisory Board, and has served on the Board of Governors for the Nashville’s National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.Kennedy has continually given to Belmont and its students for years. He has spoken at seminars, hosted events (including Belmont’s Homecoming concert, Homecoming in the Round), is an adjunct professor, and a student mentor.  Gordon is the fifth and final recipient of the Distinguished Lecturer, an honor given to industry professionals who inspire others through their work in the entertainment and music industry.

On this episode of The Troubadour we are joined by a husband and wife performing, AND songwriting duo, Thom Shepherd and Coley McCabe.  Thom is the writer of five #1 singles for other artists - “Redneck Yacht Club,” recorded by Craig Morgan, “Riding with Private Malone” recorded by David Ball, Kyle Park’s “The Night Is Young,” Josh Abbott and Pat Green’s single, “My Texas,” and Kevin Fowler’s “Beer Season.”         In total, Thom has had over 10 singles and over 100 songs recorded by artists including Easton Corbin, Pam Tillis, John Anderson, Lorrie Morgan, Colt Ford, Bucky Covington, George Jones, Trailer Choir, Montgomery Gentry, Buddy Jewell, and Cledus T. Judd. Coley McCabe is also no stranger to success in the music business.  She is a platinum-selling songwriter and she’s performed numerous times on the Grand Ole Opry.  While on RCA Records her song “Grow Young With You” was featured in the Natalie Portman / Ashley Judd film, “Where The Heart Is,” Her writing credits include the award winning group SheDaisy and legendary Loretta Lynn. She also starred in the feature film “Alabama Love Story.” During this interview with Thom and Coley we visit about the dynamics of working as a husband and wife duo in the music business while maintaining a great marriage.  As is heard in the interview, we find out that it’s important for each person in the relationship to understand when to ride “Shotgun” to the other person, and when to be the driver. Fittingly enough, Thom and Coley’s latest record is aptly titled “Shotgun” and can be picked up at www.thomandcoley.com . Thom and Coley have also found a bit of a niche within the “Trop Rock” genre which Thom describes loosely as “people who like Jimmy Buffett songs.”  The duo is now often found on show billings in tropical places with lots of sun and water!  They’ve even brought a little bit of this genre back to Texas by creating and hosting the annual “Lone Star Luau” in Marble Falls, TX (http://lonestarluau.com/).  Lonestar Luau 4 will be happening in February of 2020.  Click on the link to learn more about it and to secure tickets! While we didn’t get a chance to visit about it in depth in the interview, I would highly suggest that for those interested in songwriting and stories behind hit songs, to follow Thom Shepherd on YouTube.  He’s producing a series of YouTube videos called “Story Behind the Song” in which he interviews writers of specific hit songs and learns how the songs came to be.  The icing on the top of the videos, at least for me, is to hear the songwriter perform the hit with nothing more than an acoustic guitar.  Simply great stuff in my opinion!  Check it out Thom’s YouTube page by clicking HERE.

You I'm so excited to share this episode with you. Eric Dodge is an amazing musician, terrific speaker, and really wonderful human being. I met him several years ago at a national speaker's association event, and we've been friends ever since. Why Not Today is one of his best songs, but it isn't just a song, it's Eric's mantra. His way of being. He explains why this means so much to him, and how we can all use that to soar beyond our wildest dreams.  Eric Dodge's music is what makes him famous, but his heart is something you'll notice as soon as you listen to him. And as a bonus, just for us, he performs one of his songs. You won't want to miss this episode! For more from Eric, visit http://EricDodge.com Why Not Today?!? More about Eric Dodge Eric Dodge discovered his passion for singing in the most heartfelt of ways. While always having a strong love for music, his greatest fear was to share that passion publicly. On September 11th, 2001, as our great country suffered a terrorist attack, Eric was on a cruise ship outside of Mexico. That fateful day was when Eric made his decision to no longer be afraid. He stepped up to the microphone aboard the ship to share his voice and love of music. He was no longer willing to let his fear keep him from what was truly his gift to the world. He opened up his heart and sang Garth Brooks’ song “The Dance”. After his performance, a passenger approached him and encouraged him to pursue a singing career. Just as many others were changed by the events of 9/11, Eric took her words to heart and decided to follow his heart into the world of country music. Eric has worked with Seth Riggs, vocal coach to the Stars in Hollywood and from there was sent to train with Jeffrey Skouson in Las Vegas. Thanks to these great coaches, Eric began sharing his talents professionally in 2003. He’s performed hundreds of shows all over the United States and Canada. He has opened for many of Nashville’s finest country music stars including: the late Chris LeDoux, Diamond Rio, Little Texas, John Michael Montgomery, Justin Moore, Collin Raye, SheDAISY, Terri Clark, Julianne Hough, Clint Black, Travis Tritt,  Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, and Carrie Underwood at the Stadium of Fire – 4th of July Celebration in Provo, Utah in front of over 50,000 people. Eric has been featured in America’s largest country music magazine, “Country Weekly” on several occasions, and on the popular website, Music News Nashville. He was also recognized as “New Country Star—Best Male Vocalist”. Eric has also appeared live on many television shows. While performing on Good Things Utah on ABC 4, he met the very popular author and website mentor, Marla Cilley (aka the FlyLady) of www.FlyLady.net. She was so impressed with his performance, she asked him to record a song Titled “Why Not Today” which prompted the release of Eric’s album titled “Why Not Today”. Since then, Eric has accompanied FlyLady to many of her nationwide events where he has performed and been welcomed by thousands. Eric has recorded many of his albums at OmniSound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, where he worked with the best producers, songwriters, and musicians. In March of 2006, his first radio single, “Anything for You” was released and hit #19 on the New Music Weekly-Independent Artists chart. His second Country album “Why Not Today” reached #3 on Amazons best seller list and his album, “A Christmas Wish” sold thousands worldwide in its first season released. His fourth album, “Home to Me” was released in April 2010.  Unplugged Journey was a limited release album and was released in November of 2011. A Fork In The Road, a collection of Broadway and other hit songs was release in August of 2012.

He loves anything outdoors including fishing and hiking. Summer, winter, spring or fall his favorite moments are sleeping outside by the campfire under the stars. From the brim of his hat to the tips of his boots, he is a true country boy.

In episode 50, Brenton and Bryant have the opportunity to sit down with Brandon Bagby. Brandon, originally from Louisiana, began playing guitar at the age of 14.  The self-taught guitarist landed his first “pro gig” playing guitar for Vertical Music / Integrity Music worship artist Jason Morant in 2004 at the age of 21.  Brandon finished college with a Bachelor’s Degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in late 2005.  Questioning his next steps, he moved into a corporate career setting.  At the same time, Brandon played in bars and churches in the local Baton Rouge and New Orleans community. In May 2009, Brandon made a career change and decided to finally move to Nashville, TN to pursue a full time career in music.  Since moving to the “Music City,” Brandon has had the pleasure of hitting the stage with artists such as All Sons & Daughters, Cory Lamb, Know Hope Collective (an Audio Adrenaline worship project), Meredith Andrews, Seventh Day Slumber, SHeDAISY, and many more!  Brandon is diverse in playing styles such as country, motown, pop, rock, rhythm & blues, and contemporary worship.  Whether it’s teaching music theory, how to read number charts, scales… to preparing for an audition, ways to learn songs quickly, or even getting the right tone; Brandon’s goal is to bring his students to a pro playing level! “I don’t just want to teach an average guitar lesson… I’d prefer to mentor and pour into the lives of my students!  When I began playing guitar, I wish I would have had someone helping and guiding me to the profession.” Brandon is also a visual artist. Though Brandon has only been painting seriously since July 2009, he uses very mature impressionistic techniques through the use of palette knives. Most of Brandon’s art exemplifies his never-ending passion for music, though he is beginning to explore other avenues of subject matter in his art. In some of his works, you can definitely see an influence of New Orleans styled art.  That shouldn’t be much of a surprise knowing the artist spent a portion of his life only sixty-four miles outside of The Big Easy.  Brandon graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in December 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, focusing in Graphic Design.  He said that, “while in college, I took only one painting class which was required for my curriculum.  Sometimes I wish I would have studied more about painting, but then again, I wonder if I would be painting in a more restricted fashion.” You will find that Brandon piles on large amounts of paint with palette knives on large canvas panels.  Photos alone do not bring an ounce of justice to the rich textures of this artist’s work.  Brandon’s pieces are definitely a “must see” in person.  Many clients say that photos just don’t do the work justice! ⏪ For more information about Brandon Bagby, visit www.brandonbagbyart.com www.audioa.com www.facebook.com/brandonbagbymusic See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
