II. Tonight’s Guest – Addiction Recovery Specialist / Pro Bassist Andy Martin:
Andy Martin is an addiction recovery counselor and a recovering drug/alcohol addict. He is also a professional bass player who has worked with The Platters, The Drifters, The Coasters, Mitch Ryder, Dottie West, and many other music industry greats. His experience as a recovering addict, a licensed addiction recovery specialist, and a professional musician make him a seasoned expert on tonight’s VERY serious topic.
Tonight, Brian and Andy go into great detail on the topic of addiction in the music industry. They discuss indicators for addiction and the effects it can have on your music career. Brian also tables the issue of how addiction is often glamorized in the media, especially with ‘top tier’ personalities, and Andy outlines forms and methods for receiving assistance with an addiction problem.
