Is The Patronage Model The Way Forward For Musicians?

Ford Goodman thinks he has one solution that may be helpful. He started an organization that brings artists to areas that they often wouldn't come to, and makes sure they are well taken care of financially. We had a great conversation about what he's doing in Northern Nevada, and why it might work throughout the country.  Check out his organization For The Song here: https://www.forthesong.com/
