Velvet Road - Rising Through Rejection Episode 4

Ever been slapped with the cold hand of rejection? We sure have, and in this heart-to-heart session, we strip back the layers to share the gritty truth of those painful no's in the music biz. We dive deep into the personal toll it takes on us, the tears shed, and the moments of doubt that haunt our dreams. Yet, we emerge with a tale of unwavering passion, perseverance, and the kind of love for our craft that sees us through the darkest nights and back into the spotlight. It's an emotional ride through the valleys and peaks of a musician's journey, punctuated by our collective resolve to keep reaching for the mic, no matter the setbacks.

But it's not all somber confessions; we find strength in resilience, and in the unwavering support of our community. We reflect on the vibrant energy of live gigs, the soul-enriching exchange with every audience, and our commitment to personalizing every performance for those who lend us their ears. The reality of venue bookings can be rough, and here's a heartfelt nod to the bookers: kindness in rejection is a balm to the artist's spirit. Before signing off with a chuckle over a math mix-up and a geography slip, we're reminded that it's the imperfections that make our journey with Velvet Road genuinely ours. So, join us – let's laugh, learn, and live the music together.
