Bradford and Kimberly Loomis are of the dynamic duo,
married couple variety. Kimberly is highly involved in Bradford's
career. Among her contributions are tech support, photography,
co-writing, and community management.Our conversation opens with how
Bradford was thrust back into music following economic change and a
job loss. It sounds like it’s turned out to be the best career
choice that’s ever been forced upon him. 🙂
He has a weekly Facebook live
broadcast on which he performs, conducts guest interviews, and
interacts with his growing community. Bradford sees these
broadcasts as a channel for supporting others, as much as he
sees it as a place to share his music. Cutting out the middleman is
a primary focus for the Loomis'. My favorite example is that they
host their own subscription platform for patrons. This is in lieu
of Patreon, a wildly popular platform for subscription based
communities. They also created their own recording
label.
We discuss all
of this plus their entrepreneurial take on the business of
music, Bradford's music
mastermind group, house shows (aka house concerts), how his
partnership with Kimberly is making a difference in his career, and
much more.SHOW NOTES
