Episode 294: Brandon Richie

Brandon Richie of The Brandon Richie Band is here. This one is all sorts of fun as we talk about the importance we place on music following the pandemic, understanding audience demographics to grow your band, Brandon showing his little brother his demos, and live show stories you will not believe. Plus we talk about the band's new single "If There's A God," ask why Betty White is on the cover art, and gush over the city of Milwaukee.   Find Brandon Richie Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandonrichieofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandonrichieofficial/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYpp-iHT3PEwq6FkB29clg Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonrichieofficial?lang=en Website: https://brandonrichie.bandcamp.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7pKraio4ww1dx6S6PVAqUs?si=uOA7GBxFTQ6aIKfunEUuxA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/brandon-richie/300979655   Thank you to our sponsor Custom Debuts: http://fluroes.myshopify.com/discount/CPP10 Use code CPP10 for 10% off your order.   Thank you to our sponsor FNX Fitness: https://fnx.grsm.io/msotdrocks USE CODE "MSOTD" FOR 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chordprogressionpodcast   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome Brandon + Pandemic Realizations: (3:34) Brandon's Understood Passion for Live Music: (10:47) What To Expect from the band Live & wanting to be Genreless: (16:11) Taking about MGK and the Better Music from Upcoming Bands: (25:31) Understanding the Audience Demographics to get Kids into the Music: (33:33) Great Live Show Stories: (40:41) The Meaning of "If There's A God": (47:28) Giving love to Milwaukee: (53:52) Why Brandon Prefers Local Shows: (1:06:20) Skynyrd & Enjoying Life: (1:09:00) Closing It Out: (1:22:00)
