Episode 387: YOU'VE MADE THE MUSIC — NOW GET IT HEARD | A Discussion With Temair, Orm & Cursed Monk Records.

A discussion aimed specifically at solo artists who want to get their music out there.
Making the music is one thing. Getting people to hear it is another.
For this episode, Richie sits down with Shane Mac Con Uladh of Temair, Stephen Orme of Orm and Roger Boyle of Cursed Monk Records to talk about what comes after the music is finished — releasing it, promoting it, finding an audience and figuring out where you fit in a music industry that has changed massively.

We talk about doing things independently, approaching labels, distribution, physical releases, social media, promotion, building an audience and the mistakes that can cost you time and money.

Stephen talks about his first Orm release, Slaughtered Souls, including some of the things he struggled with and what he learned from them.
Shane of Temair brings the perspective of an established solo project that has built itself through multiple releases and continued work.
And Roger from Cursed Monk Records gives us the view from the label side, as well as his own experience as a musician.

Three different perspectives, but one common question:
You've made the music. Now how do you actually get people to hear it?
If you've got an album sitting on your computer, you're planning your first release, or you're trying to figure out what to do after putting your music online, this conversation is for you!
