The Tuk Ten: Day 5 — Johnny Cash, At Folsom Prison (Live)(1968)

Posted on May 20, 2018 by Bryan Tuk Leave a comment

Johnny Cash is rightly credited with being the father of outlaw country music. This is not the country music of today, the one that has been taken over by the Carrie Underwoods and the other improbably telegenic performers that populate and dominate the genre. Cash’s music, and the style he created, was the one of Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Willie Nelson. Cash exuded the idea that if you weren’t against the system, you were part of the system.

King Crimson is an enigma. Like many progressive rock bands, Crimson has had numerous lineup changes since its debut in 1968. The band continues to this day, having completed a tour in Fall 2017 that took it across the United States, coupled with an announcement that new music was on the way.

The Tuk Ten: Day 3 — District 97, In Vaults (2015)

Some of you reading this may have no idea who District 97 is. So, for Day Three of The Tuk Ten (rock edition!), let me acquaint you with them. D97 hails from Chicago, Illinois, and have followed an indie rock pathway across the United States and throughout Europe, all on a DIY and crowdfunded model. This is very much a rock band for modern times. For reasons explained below, In Vaults is definitely in my very own personal Top Ten.

The Tuk Ten: Day 2 – The Rollins Band, Weight (1995)

Posted on May 13, 2018 by Bryan Tuk Leave a comment

The second album in The Tuk Ten (the rock edition) is Weight by The Rollins Band. Weight came out in the middle of that band’s career. It doesn’t have as much of the exposed raw energy of the debut album, End of Silence. What Weight does have is a mature and hard edge coupled with some fine engineering that runs through the entire album.

tuk0005 copy Recently, I had the good fortune to speak to a room full of young, aspiring entrepreneurs about my professional journey. I hoped to draw some parallels for them to follow, to the extent that those parallels could aid them.

The first part of the session was a 60 minute prepared talk about the initial hurdles that young startups face from a legal standpoint. Following the discussion, there was a question and answer segment, and I was asked the following question by the host:

“How long did it take you to achieve your success?”

The RIAA Sales Reports Don’t Tell the Whole Story For Independent Musicians

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Bryan Tuk Leave a comment

It’s no secret that independent musicians are struggling out there. There are some out there you have heard of, and some you haven’t heard of, working incredibly hard to get their artistic expressions out in front of audiences. A lot of times, that grind can start to look pretty bleak and exhausting if you are moving through it without any plan or strategy.
