🎙️ Justin Singleton: From Metal Riffs to Country Twang (and the Real Business of Gigging) | The Shift with Mike & Joe — EP 25
In Episode 25 of The Shift with Mike & Joe, we sit down with Justin Singleton — a Maryland-based country artist with roots in Kent County and a background that includes heavy rock/metal guitar, classic country influences, and years of learning the grind of gigging the hard way.
We get into what most people don’t see: the behind-the-scenes reality of working as a full-time working musician. Justin breaks down how he thinks about booking, pricing, responding fast to venues, tips vs. base pay, and why the “just show up and play” myth is exactly that — a myth. We also talk gear and workflow (yes, the humble cart gets the respect it deserves), plus how community, consistency, and staying positive play a bigger role than most people realize.
We also preview the upcoming classic country tribute show on February 21 and trade stories about tribute sets, artist picks, and why those shows are some of the most fun you can have as a local musician.
If you’re a musician, a creative, or anyone trying to turn a passion into a real business — this one’s for you.
