How The Dollyrots Succeeded by Taking Risks for Their Music, & The Reception to Night Owls

Great things never happened to those who played it safe!

That is a little bit of a loaded statement, but think about all of your favorite bands and artists. They would not have gotten to that point if they didn't take a risk.

That is one of the reasons why the Dollyrots have been around for so long, and we have the couple of Kelly and Luis on the podcast for you today. On this episode, we dive deep into

• How the couple has taken calculated risks all throughout their careers, that has led them to tour the world, make music, and have a family, with so many great experiences and stories to share (that many young bands can draw inspiration from).
• The time Kelly handed Joan Jett the band's music, and that ended up with the Dollyrots signing with Joan Jett's record label.
• Night Owls, the brand new album, and the theory behind why reviewers have called it "Astounding Musical Perfection."
