The “Origin Story” for Austin’s song “Where It Gets Exciting” involves David Bowie, John Lewis, and… JJ Redick? Yes, really!

Austin's doing the substack thing! Check it out!
I've long desired a forum for sharing my music, lyrics, and other creative writing outside of just @thedangps.bsky.social accounts, and away from the algorithm-driven rat race. Hence, substack:
- Video posts of brand new songs
- "Origin Stories" for my songs
- Reflections on songwriting
- Video posts of brand new songs

Austin’s daughter made some serious waves in 2024!
Proud of how much my daughter Anara Pearl has grown musically in the past year! From her first open mics to 10+ paid gigs… and still only 11 years old. (Writes better songs than I did at 19!)

As 2024 comes to a close, The Dang Ps are feeling so grateful for every stage we’ve stepped onto in 2024.
Huge thanks to the venues who believed in us, gave us space to share our songs, and helped allow us — along with our fans and your patrons — to "Create a song, add harmony, and sing along!"

Seriously looking for good advice here!
Question for #musiciansky, particularly for musicians/songwriters who are in bands: When you have good songs that don’t really fit with your band’s vibe/brand/audience, what do you do?
