Still on high from one of the best musical weekends of my life. Thank you @delwatergap, @mikerobinson, @nick.cianc, @robernst, and @carson_oberg! What a way to come out of a pandemic!

Heard this song out in the wild recently and forgot how much it slaps. Yeah, I know - I’m not “playing the part” but I had to give the ol ‘75 P a spin. And yes, those are Jayme’s blue light glasses. Kind of a vibe though?

Thank you to the band and crew for trusting me, and for being so fun and welcoming! by @maxmanbassman

Loved the ending to #strangerthings ✨ love this classic from Bowie. Basses + EM-80 + @nobleamps and some chorus-y saturation.

reputation is everything!

VUs Multi Talented and Award winning musicians @nickpmusic, @marcmalsegnamusic, @maxmanbassman
spoke to artists about the importance of kindness and reputation in the music industry, especially to your band members.

Though the music industry may seem vast, it’s more like a small town—everyone knows each other, and word about your reputation travels fast.

It’s important to remember that, in addition to your talent and work ethic, kindness can take you just as far in this industry.

At the VU Artist Development Experience 2025, you’ll have the opportunity to work with these incredible mentors on your own original music.
