From public school teacher to co-founding two successful vinyl-focused record labels and a brick and mortar store. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Terry Cole

DROPPED

In this episode we talk to Terry Cole, a public school teacher turned indie label head, producer, artist and co-founder of Plaid Room Records, a brick and mortar record store in Loveland, OH. Terry started selling records out of his car a decade ago and now runs two successful independent record labels; Colemine Records and Karma Chief Records, as well as his popular record store.

Terry gives us much insight into the inner workings of indie labels, as well as what to do (and what not to do) if you’re an artist trying to approach indie labels and record stores alike. In our opinion, he embodies authenticity and talking to him was a real treat for both of us. His approach to the music industry is refreshing and we learned so much from him. We know you will too.

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains A LOT of profanity even for us, so maybe don't show this one to your kids.
