Neil Schnell is one of my best pals in music. He shares some of my best memories of performing music in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. He has been making a living with his trio Velvet Love Box, though things have slowed down due to the Covid Crisis. We talk about live streaming during the pandemic, accepting online tips, and how to make streaming work for you. He also talks about getting back into live gigs, despite mixed emotions. Neil is featured on a new release by our mutual friend, Lannie Flowers, called Home.

Re-Entering Live Music—Neil Schnell Part 2 (Ep 162)

This episode of The Unstarving Musician’s Podcast features another former bandmate and friend Neil Schnell.   Neil is a gigging, touring machine, who performs solo shows, as well as shows with Dallas Fort Worth favorites Velvet Love Box and The Lannie Flowers Band.   We talk about his published work, his views selecting collaborators, how musical self-indulgence has been a good thing for his career, and how a gig for a Dallas Stars Hockey Club event changed everything for one of his bands.   He's one of the kindest and most talented guys I know. Please enjoy our conversation.
