Dan, at a risk of sounding old school, your music can be sold and promoted in Europe. Im a fan from Vancouver discovered your date in Nyon around the corner from my house by accident.. at the Parenthesis. With not that much work I’d have given you expenses and a reasonable guarantee and sold you at the other venue in town for 300 and made a profit, guaranteed. Bottom line: maybe you could profit from some better promotion over here ? Your music deserves to be heard and I make a euro fan for you every time I play it. Stay dry in rain town.
Ah right on Scott.. I do think there are supporters out there but it's never been harder to cut through the noise and get to folks. I like your moxy - you should speak with my European booking agent, Paul!
Happy to , at least to find out why he let the (very kind and loving folks) at the P have you for free and how to leverage better digital channels for “Canadians in switzerland”. You make premium music it’s promotion 101. I’m up to 5 people really disblievingly pissed off they missed your show and 3 of them are 3 hour train rides away, for market data. Etc. Now go write another amazing song.
“Near the beginning of my career, I decided that I’d be willing to be broke in order to make a life in music. Magically, that level of commitment led to actually beginning to make a living from it.” Reminds me of a fav lyric “The cost is more than what you get paid but do it anyway!”. So true, if what you share comes from the love of creating, you will always be okay!
Beautifully put.

We said exactly the same. I think even talked with you about it. - We are so glad you came “over”. Doing what you do. It matters. Thank you!
We paid 16€ per ticket and tbh we would have been happy to pay 25.
Thanks Christin! Appreciate you guys being there!
Really like what you say here
