Ep. 62: Uniting Musicians for Change: Nadi of Gully Boys Talks TCUP and Building a Better Music Community

We’re kicking off Season 2 of Secrets from the Scene with a conversation about something that affects every musician: the fight for fair pay, better conditions, and a more supportive music community.

This week, I sat down with Nadi McGill, drummer for Gully Boys and lead organizer of Twin Cities United Performers (TCUP). We talked about:

How Gully Boys came up in the Twin Cities scene and built momentum beyond Minnesota
The story behind TCUP and how it grew out of the First Ave unionization movement
What TCUP is doing right now to improve transparency, pay, and working conditions for musicians
How artists can get involved and why organizing matters

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the way musicians are treated—or just want to know what’s happening behind the scenes—this one’s for you.
