Musicians: Don’t Give Up! Success May Be Right Around the Corner
Success as a musician can be illusive and it’s natural to get discouraged. But our message is simple: musicians, don’t give up! Keep trying, because success may be right around the corner.
Musicians: Don’t Give Up!
That’s the important message from Michael Brandvold and Jay Gilbert on a new Music Biz Weekly Podcast.
The pair share their own experiences and the inspiring story of Foghat. The band had successful records, but never got the recognition as blues rock pioneers that many believe Roger Earl and his band deserve.
Now 50 years of recording and performing later, Foghat has been rewarded with a #1 Billboard Blues Album and a Grammy submission.
The takeaway: “If you love what you do don’t be so quick to give up.”

this piece is such a great reminder not to let the lows overshadow the highs. The part about “staying true to your art” is spot on! Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget why we started making music in the first place
