An epic show this week - Sammy Rae of Sammy Rae & The Friends joins us to break down how you build a fanbase of proper diehards - the money you actually need saved before going full-time, and why getting paid to play keys for kids was one of the smartest industry moves she made. We also get into the Discover Weekly night that kicked everything off (26,000 streams while she slept, zero marketing plan) and the album she cut at the iconic Sun Studios in Memphis - live takes only, no editing allowed
