Both tracks are so totally different! How do you resolve which path to take when you’ve gotten a track thought?

It’s additionally universally relatable and there is a huge catalog of examples and precedents from musicians world wide who sing about like to affect my writing.
I don’t intend to put in writing about it endlessly although.

My band is an eight-piece and we carry out reside as ‘Archie Baker & The Blue Meanies’. The reside reveals give attention to improvisation, vitality and musicianship, so there are many solos, breakdowns and energetic choruses.
Sounds like my type of gig. What was it wish to take part in our Community’s Artists Wanted celebration?
