EP: 043 - How to inspire, build a movement, and connect with fans with Tambofeet of Potluck Shows

On this episode of The Modern Recordist, we get to hang out and connect with a very unique DIY touring musician. Just hours before recording this episode, host Jon Stinson connected with Tambofeet of Potluck Shows. This is a grassroots style house show tour, that Tambofeet organizes through websites like Couchsurfing. The shows are all about personal connection, and coming together over dinner and music.

Hit play now to hear Tambofeet share some unique, funny, inspiring, and dare we say crazy stories of being on the road throughout three collective years worth of Potluck Shows tours. Tambofeet also shares his unique approach to making music - like circuit-bent Nintendos and playing guitar with his feet.

On The Modern Recordist, we like to put an emphasis on connecting with people and creating an impact with your music. Tambofeet is definitely an extraordinary artistic visionary that is creating connection and impact. Check this episode out to learn how to inspire people, connect with them, and build a movement around your music.

Tambofeet is currently bringing Potluck Shows through all 50 US states. To see what state he's currently in, connect, and get out to a show, jump over to www.potluckshows.org, check out the tour dates, and send Tambofeet a message.
