Avery Florence stopped by the studio on the cusp of her first tour. She was excited! “Road trip!” Her songs were a treasure trove of musical delight, and her tips about managing her own career were helpful to anyone trying to make a living as a singer/songwriter.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

• the music business
• The Harris Institute
• touring, booking your own gigs
• “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron
• writing when inspired
• collaboration
• recording “live off the floor”
• guitar or piano?
• breaking up with a band
