There's so much to know when it comes to releasing an album.  No wonder record companies take 50% up front!  In order to release Microbrew Music's first full length CD, Tony has been working the long hours to learn every aspect of record releasing.  Now that he knows about 20%, it's time to share with you.

Shenelle Williams and Ryan Stohs have appeared together, with me, on an official Microbrew single (Holiday Money) and will also appear on my upcoming album.  It's only right, then, that I throw Spencer Williams into the mix and present to you, Marty by Missus and Mister.  This is my favorite track from their five song ep and I encourage you to pick up the album on our website, iTunes, Amazon or their website.

When did being a diva become a virtue?  Back in the old days, a diva was the pain in the neck that wouldn't leave her dressing room until the director gave her a turkey sandwich.  Now, it's the mark of talent?  We all have a diva in us and the best among us learn to repress that diva until it's time to record a podcast.

We're back!  After taking a couple weeks off for the holiday, the Microbrew podcast returns with a rough mix of a new song by Tony Frye.  There's also some App updates, album updates, ticket giveaways and much much more!  Now that we're back on schedule, isn't it time you told 300 of your closest friends to listen?

It's that time of year to sit back and quietly reflect on the greedy state of the world.  I never intended this to be a Christmas release but, considering the subject matter, maybe it's appropriate.  Today's tune features Todd Richardson on drums and is the newest completed track off of my upcoming album.  Hope you enjoy!

In the spirit of giving, I'd like to offer you some of my favorite Christmas recordings of the past 60 years.  In the spirit of not being sued, I can only offer them in short, infringement free segments.  Enjoy, for the first time ever, the Microbrew Infringement Free Holiday Review Part 1!  Also, there's a bonus gift at the end!

Today a very tired Tony presents the title track from his upcoming album.  Also, a Kickstarter update (and it's good news) and a promise that the Thursday podcast will return this week.

Our computers went down and we're a week behind schedule but, better late than never, here is Tony's first single "Holiday Money".  Check iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon in the next couple days if you want to purchase your very own mp3 of the single (in higher audio quality than this lousy podcast).

Hope you're singing this all the way to the return lines on December 26th!

When I can remember what this song is called, it's one of my favorites.  Written for two friends of mine, it is also the least changed of my older songs.  Enjoy!

Thanks to all the feedback from last week's Kinks episode, I actually have some listener mail to talk about.  There's also some PBS style campaigning to take care of but I think it's worth the listen.

Special thanks go to Dave Emlen at kindakinks.net, check out his fantastic website today!

Today I share with you a song I wrote for my wife way back when we first started dating.  It has gone through many changes over the years but this version will be the one released on the album.

Be sure to pick up Meredith McHenry's single "Nobody's Fault But Mine" on iTunes, CD Baby or Amazon tomorrow!  You heard it here last month but now you can download it in higher quality.

The Kinks are, in my opinion, the second greatest band of the British invasion and yet, they are recognized less than The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Tempsmen.  Today, I state my case as to why you should be listening to The Kinks.

Today's podcast brought to you by Microbrew Music.  Look for our debut single "Nobody's Fault But Mine" by Meredith McHenry on November 15!

Today I'm offering you an unfinished track that I'm working on.  The track is called King of the World and it is a companion piece to Your Underscore from last Monday.  I hope you enjoy it.  Please visit bluesixstring.com and leave comments on episodes you're enjoying and drop me an email to tell me what you want more of.  See you on Thursday.

They say practice makes perfect and is the only way to Carnegie Hall, but I tell you, practice will mess you up!  This week, I give my argument against practicing your craft.  I look forward to your comments!  This podcast is brought to you by Microbrew Music!

In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to revisit a spooky sounding instrumental track that I've been toying with for months.  Little did I know that I'd end up writing some lyrics and fleshing out the arrangement to become a full out song.  Here, for your ears only, is the most recent song I've ever written because it's only been finished for a few hours.  Happy Halloween!

When the economy gets rough, local arts organizations have to scramble for money.  This week, I discuss some simple ways you can keep entertainment alive for when we've got some real money to spend.

Meredith McHenry, west coast champion on ABC's Karaoke Battle USA came to my home studio to record some new tracks.  This one is my favorite and I hope you dig it too.  If you want more information, I encourage you to visit her webpage at www.meredithmchenry.com and follow her on Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud.  Enjoy the song!

Justin Bieber has released a Christmas song before Halloween?  This chaos will not stand!  Today, Tony rants about the force feeding of holiday music from August until February.

This week's song is another Tony original with a little bit of funk thrown on top of it.  Todd Richardson provides the drums.

This week Tony rants about the "I don't like it, so it sucks" attitude. 

This week's feature is a track by Missus and Mister called Head Over Heels.  Shenelle Williams - Piano/Vox, Spencer Williams - Vox, Tony Frye - Bass/Guitar, Ryan Stohs - Drums.  For more info on this band, visit missusandmister.com or visit bluesixstring.com

In the debut episode, Tony premieres the song "I'll Never Know" just 10 minutes after completion.  This track features Shenelle Williams on piano.
