The Watters, Kickstarter, PR, Wednesdays with the Watters, Facebook Live, ATX, Musicians, Expecting ParentsJenna and Daniel Watters successfully met a $10k Kickstarter fundraising goal to support the release of their latest album. Most of that money was for a PR hire. In this episode, Jenna and Daniel share how and why their PR hire didn’t go well. We also discuss other efforts that went into promoting the release of their album The Watters, including their weekly Wednesdays with the Watters videos.

Life is exciting for Jenna and Daniel, as of the time of this recording. They’re expecting a baby boy. But is that slowing them down? Not yet. They’re working on music for their next album. Jenna even thinks they’ll have baby boy on tour with them in no time. A supportive family and their general outlook on life gives them a sense of freedom that not all music artists experience. They’re not preoccupied with money, but focused on making good music. Performing live with less frequency has actually helped them earn more.

Daniel and Jenna share other reflections on the business of their music and their creative processes. They are genrefied as Americana Rock & Soul. They’ve been recently performing as a jazz quartet. And they are apparently quite good at Fleetwood Mac covers. I couldn’t be more enamored with their talents and vibe. See what I mean by checking out their videos and latest album.
