This is what makes me yank out my hair and gives me trauma lumps: if he'd just embrace us farmers to manage his career, and actually releases his songs like he says he's gonna, we'd make him famous. There would be no need for him to audition for contests.
@The Great Citracett could make his music videos,
@StinkySnack can handle press releases.
I can book shows. I personally know people who are in The Biz, and dozens of session musicians in different parts of the country who'd have no problem learning his songs (because they're basic bitch pop songs). He wouldn't even have to tour with a band. He could just go to a city and there would be a band there waiting and ready.
