Greetings, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast! We’ve made it to episode 9, and I’m thrilled to have Mr. Randy McStine as my guest today. Randy and I go way back—we’ve made a lot of music together over the years, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever known. It was a real pleasure to sit down and talk with him. Randy’s insights into the music industry are fascinating, and his journey is a testament to doing things on his own terms. He describes his path as a “slow burn,” but one that’s authentically his. As a solo artist, Randy has released many fantastic recordings that I highly recommend everyone check out. In recent years, he’s reached a much broader audience in recent years through his work with Porcupine Tree. His collaboration with Steven Wilson has introduced Randy to fans worldwide, and I’m so happy to see him get the recognition he deserves—he’s earned every bit of it. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Thanks for tuning in, and cheers! #nickdvirgilio #randymcstine #soyouwanttobeamusician #podcast #musiclife
