Many people listen to music these days through such services as Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and the like. If you do listen to Switchback on these platforms, you may be curious as to what royalties accumulate for a band such as ourselves. Well, we received our 2020 royalty check for Pandora last week. Sixty-five cents. That’s right. Add the pandemic and you start getting the picture of what the music business is for independent musicians.But we are not all gloom and doom here. We always like to have fun, especially when getting such exorbitant royalty checks. We’ll address that in a second, but first we have our latest online concert offering CHECK ON OUT and it is a blast. We have revisited and played songs that we do not perform regularly. Songs like The Gun, It’s Raining, Looking Glass and many other classics of the Switchback in the late 1990’s. Along with commentary about the story behind the songs it is an engaging and fun concert. And you really have the best seat in the house.
As with our other online concerts, we are offering this for a suggested gift of $25. You can also choose our other concerts, also for a $25 suggested gift each. But to make it even more exciting, we are going to autograph and send our sixty-five cent royalty check to whoever makes the largest gift to the cause. That’s right! Not only will you have the Check On Out Concert, you will be the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind, autographed, exclusive check of our entire 2020 Pandora royalties. We can even endorse it for you, if you wish to cash it, but we hope you hang it on the wall.
We hope our showing a bit of humor and our love of music will help soften the serious message that we do count on you, not only to support such offerings as our Check On Out Concert, but listening to us on any device that plays Switchback. It is truly a numbers game and your support means a great deal to us.
Here’s all you have to do, Click on the button below, which will bring you to our Paypal site. Select your gift amount, select which show you want and we in turn will send you the link to that concert. And, if you make the largest gift, you will be able to proudly say that you have a share of some of Switchback’s royalties!
With gratitude and fun,
Brian and Marty
Time to get these before they are gone, gone, gone for good!
