The #1 way you can support The Troubadour is by visiting our Patreon page Fans of music and the artists that make it are the reason these folks can make a living in the  business.  Fans attending live shows, buying merch and music, is really how the bills get paid by musicians.   This week Pete interview’s Eric Birk.  Eric is a huge supporter of live music and attends well over 100 shows per year.  He’s developed a relationship with many of the acts he goes to see perform.  Artist, Gus Burns has even made a T-shirt that honors the dedication of fans like Eric that simply says “Be Like Birk”.   We’re also excited to say that we are now an affiliate for Sweetwater.  So, the next time you need any new strings, picks, microphones, recording gear, etc. make sure to use this link!
