MAD Records Podcast #16 - Nashville Indie Artist, Cole Ritter

If you’ve been following MAD Records for a while, you may have heard my cute little catchphrase “long live good music”.

….. it’s cute right?

Well when I say “good music”… what I mean is music that feels like true art, not just “content”. And when I first moved to Nashville, no one seemed to represent that ideal more than independent artist, Cole Ritter.

Cole is an incredible artist, guitarist, and songwriter… and he was the first artist signed to MAD Records (back when we were still operating as a record label). Cole is currently releasing his debut EP as we speak, but has been playing sold out shows in various parts of the country for years at this point.

In this conversation we discuss everything from touring mechanics to philosophy.

I hope y’all enjoy!
