Martin continues his interview with Steve Dawson, a singer-songwriter who formed several bands, most notably the alternative country band, Dolly Varden. Having written scores of songs, Dawson is a wonderful source to ask about songwriting skills he has developed, his work with record labels, on being a success in the working musician world and advice for aspiring musicians on setting goals and expectations in this rough and tumble business. Dawson's song title, The Spaces In-Between refers to a line in that song that mentions it is those spaces in-between where music comes from. It's an intriguing line, yet when Dawson explains his musical style and work ethic, it makes a lot of sense. Dawson teaches songwriting at the well-loved and respected Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. His website is www.SteveDawsonmusic.com.
