Episode 3: Hayley Reardon, Rumination on the Past Decade and More!

08/28/20 • 44 min

Welcome to Episode 3 of Performer: On Record, the Performer Magazine podcast. In this episode, we chat with last month's Elixir Strings artist of the month, Hayley Reardon, to talk about how she's holding up in the pandemic, playing virtual concerts and the musical life between Nashville and Boston. Our editor also talks about how the indie scene has changed in the past 10 years, his favorite covers of the magazine, how to get YOUR music covered in print and online, and why there are so many dang synths on record these days (spoiler alert: that's a good thing).
