Rebroadcast: Making a living as a musician in Nashville

This episode originally aired on April 25, 2022. 

Nashville is known as Music City, but as the cost of living continues to rise in Nashville, it’s putting pressure on those trying to get by.

What is it like to make music in Nashville if you aren’t headlining arenas? How are musicians piecing together a life for themselves?

We start by talking with WNXP about former artist of the month $avvy, who is joined by rapper and producer Mike Floss. We also talk with more musicians about doing the work, and what kinds of support they’ve found — or found lacking. 

Guests:

• Jewly Hight, editorial director, WNXP
• $avvy, musician
• Mike Floss, musician
• Larissa Maestro, musician
• Andrea Guess, musician
• Jamaine Pitts, musician
