Episode Title: The Bridge Between Artists & Fans (A Thanksgiving Thank-You)

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Sold 4 a Song, Terry pulls back the curtain on one of the least-discussed truths in the music business: the broken connection between artists and fans — and how it’s the middlemen, not the music lovers or creators, causing the disconnect.

After receiving heartfelt messages from fans outside the industry who love getting an inside look at how the music world really works, Terry dedicates this episode to YOU — the fans who show up, support, share, and keep music alive.

In this episode, Terry breaks down:

🎧 Why fans and artists want the exact same thing — connection
💰 How Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and industry gatekeepers profit by standing between fans and the artists they love
📉 Why songwriters earn only a few hundred dollars from a million streams
📀 How the record industry flipped the streaming model to benefit labels, not creators
🧾 The shocking truth about performance royalties, setlists, and why many songwriters never get paid for U.S. concerts
🇺🇸 How the U.S. Copyright Board — not the free market — controls songwriter income
🎵 Why independent artists now have more power than ever
🤝 How fans can support artists directly — and get a better experience doing it

This is a raw, honest, and eye-opening look at the system fans never get to hear about. Terry explains exactly why the music you love exists despite the system — not because of it — and why the bond between creators and fans is more important than ever.

And above all…
🦃 This episode is a thank-you letter to the fans who make music possible.
