BONUS EPISODE: Marketing, Email, and AI with Jack McCarthy (GigGab Podcast Guest Spot)

On this bonus episode of Creative Juice, Jack McCarthy joins Dave Hamilton as a guest on Gig Gab to dig into the real business of music, how to grow attention, capture it, and convert it into lasting fan relationships. You'll learn why the right material works, how to transform inspiration into your own content, and why audio quality matters less than energy when you're trying to make fans say, "who is this band?" It's about creating cultural moments, fueling FOMO, and turning one-time listeners into repeat buyers. This is where "Always Be Performing" extends beyond the stage into every piece of marketing you share. From building email and SMS lists to flattening the revenue rollercoaster with calendars and consistent outreach, you'll see how indie artists can move from surviving to thriving. Jack and Dave walk through practical strategies like dissecting viral hits, harnessing UGC, and even using AI to smash blank page syndrome. You'll hear why you're probably not being "salesy" enough, and how treating your marketing as another form of performance makes it feel authentic, not forced. If you're ready to stand out in a noisy world, this episode shows you how.
