Ever wondered what it takes to be a modern day session musician? Gone are the days of driving from studio to studio, taking calls from the hot producers and working with artists to give them your sound. Now is the age of remote recording, dropboxing your stems and getting ideas down over Zoom calls, and the competition is high!
This week we speak to Rory Harvey, who is making a real name for himself as a session guitarist and bassist in the new remote session scene, but his talents don't end there. Performing, singing, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer are also titles that exist on his résumé. Rory gives us an insight into his working life, how he has got there and where he intends to go, with some fun stories along the way.
