Kevin Sur - Luckie Strike, Indian Valley Line, Artist Home

<p>I am thrilled to have my long time friend Kevin Sur as the featured guest this week. &nbsp;Kevin and I go back well over 20 years as friends, and he has always been someone that I could count on to give me sound advice about the music business, and guidance about what to do with the bands I was in.</p> <p>Kevin Sur, affectionally known for many years among his musical peers as "Bubba", was a member of the beloved Sacramento punk outfit Luckie Strike. &nbsp;He cut his teeth in that band over the course of 7 years, where they were true road dogs, touring constantly, and doing everything they could in a pre-internet world to stay in constant contact with their fans.</p> <p>After Luckie Strike called it a day, Kevin ventured to Seattle to focus on school, but eventually found his way back to the Bay Area (his hometown area), and started a new project called Indian Valley Line with two longtime friends. &nbsp;A far cry from the pop-punk of his former band, Indian Valley Line blended roots-Americana, indie-folk which paired well with Kevin's newly found skills as a composer. &nbsp;Heading back to Seattle, Kevin turned his sights to music promotion, starting Artist Home.</p> <p>Artist Home focuses mostly on their annual music festivals these days, but they also serve as a professional consultancy for artists that are trying to grow their careers. &nbsp;Kevin is definitely the right kind of person you'd want on your team for this, I know from experience.</p> <p>To hear Luckie Strike - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-MCHVk7m-c&amp;t=1707s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-MCH...</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>To hear Indian Valley Line - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXZ0NXl6eHdlckdIeTVuM1d0a1BVX1JGMjl1d3xBQ3Jtc0tuU01xZU5EY3UzdjJCZ2lyX3BfTjFGUDlSdEtJMEk3SFJQSkZDbkozVXplWEdLUXRsV09OMFFXX0J6MXVyMnlwbzVLa2tGLUJqTDdHVjctUjN4MmduOE9qU0tnRm1majd6LXZsdENCczlJTjVmYnBMWQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Findianvalleyline.bandcamp.com%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://indianva
