Welcome to musicians tip jar, where we talk about musicians and money. We want to take the mystery out of how a musician can make money beyond performing every night of their life. We will show you how it is not a magic trick when musicians get steady cash flow from their business. I’m your host, Chris Webb, joined by my co-host, and Houdini’s lovely assistant, Dave Tamkin.  

These are tough times to be a musician, everything is shut down, scaled back or postponed.  We are faced with a reality that if we want to continue making a living with our art we will have to branch out of our usual gigging life and embrace this new reality.  Lucky for you we have some tricks up our sleeves to find money and hopefully give you some ideas and motivation to find financial support and not slip from your bigger, long term goals.
