Episode 20: Adapting to the New Music Industry with Lauren Lucas

Meet Nashville based singer-songwriter Lauren Lucas. She’s a Tony and ACM Award nominee whose humble beginnings in theater led her to a record deal as a teenager. Changes at her label led to the album being shelved, and since then she’s taken her career into her own hands. Lauren found freedom in being on her own, from the financial freedom of following the increasing singles only model to freedom of choosing her own sound on each track. Listen in as we discuss how she started in music, how she’s adapted to the new music industry model, and what it’s like being a woman in the country music scene.
