    #129 Pat Murphy - “I never wanted to do this!”

    Today on the podcast I have the great Pat Murphy of Gaelic Storm.  The band was founded by Pat in 1996 and was featured in the record setting, blockbuster movie (one of the biggest films ever made) “Titanic”.  From then, they went on to a record deal and decades as a staple in the Irish music community.  Go to their website for tour dates.  You will not want to miss them when they come to your town!  Pat is one of my favorite people I’ve met in the music industry (and in general) and I hope you enjoy our chat half as much as I did.  Enjoy!   So you want the lowdown, opinions, and advice of a professional that highlights the real ways to make it work as a musician from 20 years of experience?  Then subscribe to the After the Gig newsletter!!  https://jessehumphrey.substack.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/afterthegig   All links right here!! https://linktr.ee/jessehumphrey   EMAIL US! afterthegigpod@gmail.com   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/afterthegig/ @afterthegig

    #126 Billy Ferguson - “Aw shucks”

    Here he is.  The world’s sweetest sound guy.  It’s Billy Ferguson… I truly love Billy, and you should too.  He’s a hard worker, a great sound guy, and all around spectacular human being.  Billy was the former sound guy for Red Wanting Blue, and Carbon Leaf.  He’s a former fire fighter, and now holds the position of sound guy at The Harvester performance center in Rocky Mount, VA (I accidentally said it was in Roanoke in the podcast intro).  This was a fantastic conversation and I hope you enjoy it too!   After the Gig has a NEWSLETTER!  It’s free to subscribe and you can find it in the link! https://jessehumphrey.substack.com/p/after-the-gig-newsletter   https://www.facebook.com/groups/afterthegig   All links right here!! https://linktr.ee/jessehumphrey   EMAIL US! afterthegigpod@gmail.com   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/afterthegig/ @afterthegig
