Success as a musician can be illusive and it’s natural to get discouraged. But our message is simple: musicians, don’t give up! Keep trying, because success may be right around the corner.

#### Musicians: Don’t Give Up!

That’s the important message from **Michael Brandvold** and **Jay Gilbert** on a new **[Music Biz Weekly Podcast.](https://www.hypebot.com/music-biz-weekly-podcast-looks-back-at-2018-and-whats-next-in-2019/)**

The pair share their own experiences and the inspiring story of **Foghat**. The band had successful records, but never got the recognition as blues rock pioneers that many believe **Roger Earl** and his band deserve.

Now 50 years of recording and performing later, Foghat has been rewarded with a #1 Billboard Blues Album and a Grammy submission.

The takeaway: **“If you love what you do don’t be so quick to give up.”**
