We LOVE sitting down with musicians and learning more about who they are as people and how their experiences have influenced their songwriting and performances, But THIS time we did things a little different. We sat down with Ben Hanten of Ben's Brewing Co. Ben is no stranger to live music. He is the man in charge of hiring the acts for the Copper Room and the mastermind behind his successful open mic series. We've been friends and customers for quite a few years now and appreciate his desire to build community around his business. What does it take to build a successful business and how does that relate to music? We'll talk more about that and also give a little insight into what this venue is looking for when booking entertainers. We hope you enjoy this one and as always please share, rate, and review!!! It helps us out!!! https://www.bensbrewing.com https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lanyard/id1449034229 https://www.facebook.com/bensbrewing/ http://www.tedandalicemiller.com/ https://www.facebook.com/tedmillermusic/
