#238: DIY Musician Podcast Live – Crowdfunding is dead. What's next?

Once upon a time crowd funding (or fan funding) offered artists the illusion of musical streets paved with gold, all paid for by their adoring fans. Fast forward to today, where many artist have hitchhiked down that hard road only to discover it's full of failed campaigns, extremely difficult work, and unfulfilled promises to both the artist and fans. What does funding look like for musical endeavors in 2019? In this live taping of the DIY Musician Podcast, Kevin and Chris will discuss that past, present, and future of funding for indie artists.
