In today’s episode I’m joined by Kurt Dahl aka The Lawyer Drummer.  We talk about the legal side of the business as well as learn about his experience in the industry as a successful musician.  Whether you are just starting out, or have established your career in the world of music, this podcast episode has a ton of valuable information about what steps to take to protect yourself as a musician, as well as making sure you sign the agreements and contracts that are right for you.  As a musician, Kurt has toured North America with his band One Bad Son, scored five top 10 singles and a #1 song, released 9 albums with various artists, and has worked closely with major industry players like 604 Records, The Feldman Agency, Frontside Group, Strut Entertainment, and Hive Management. The band has toured arenas with Def Leppard, Shinedown, and Judas Priest, and in 2019 we shared the bill with The Rolling Stones in front of 70,000 people. Kurt has practiced Entertainment Law throughout Canada since 2010, providing comprehensive legal advice to a wide array of music, film, television and technology clients since 2010. He became Partner at Murphy & Company in 2016 and was acknowledged by Canadian Lawyer in 2019 for his contributions to Entertainment Law in Canada.
