Source Victoria – Slow Luck

Jon appears on the Source Victoria album “Slow Luck” which was released yesterday (November 25th, 2011).

He played on a few tracks including pedal steel on the album’s final track “Once I’m Dead” – It’s just acoustic guitar, pedal steel played by the ever-awesome Jon Rauhouse and my vocal Brendan Murphy

Being a marketable musician.

There’s an article up on the Electronic Musician website in their Master Class tutorial section entitled “Being a marketable musician means broadening your skill set – and mindset.”

Well playing the pedal steel, banjo, Hawaiian, standard guitar etc etc. There’s a certain person fits right in with having both a broad skill and mind set.

Check out the article for what Jon has to say about it all.
