Jon Sanchez: Music Industry Doesn't Exist

Episodes
Written By

Jon Sanchez is an amazing musician based in Austin, whom I've met when he played guitar with Bob Schneider.

He also plays with Chrysta Bell, and right up until the pandemic hit, he spent many months traveling and touring.

In this episode we talk about how Jon is managing the lockdown, what happens with music, we also talk a lot about food, what museums in Austin he likes, and how this whole situation is unfolding.

We enjoyed talking to each other so much, that this interview just went on and on...
