223 – G. Love talks: drummers, authenticity, and the keys to a lasting career

In this podcast I chat with Philly’s own, G. Love. G has been performing for over 20 years to crowds around the world as a solo artist and with his band “Special Sauce”. Starting as a street musician in Philly and Boston, G has managed to string together a successful career through authenticity, relentless work ethic and a focus on business.

“In the entertainment business, the biggest gift you could ever get is not an Oscar, it’s not a Grammy, it’s longevity.” – Christian Kane

  • Starting as a street musician
  • How he met his band
  • What he looks for in drummers
  • Finding your own sound
  • Being true to your authentic self
  • The importance of business skills

  • Much more

Dream Cymbals: Dream Cymbals are a different kind of cymbal company because they keep it simple. Their approach is simple: Make high-quality, handcrafted cymbals and gongs and sell them for a reasonable price. PLUS, you can bring your old cymbals (even if they’re cracked) and trade them in for a new Dream Cymbal. For every inch of cymbal you bring in, you get $1 off your cymbal. Have a broken 20″ crash? Trade it in for $20 off your next Dream Cymbal. The coolest part is they recycle the old, broke cymbals and use the material to make their crotales and crop circles. Check them out at DreamCymbals.com
