#7 - Chris Bota | Mitten Backstage

I'm happy to be joined this week by Chris Bota! He's a wonderful guitarist, educator, and member of the Michigan band Desmond Jones, who have endeared themselves to the music-loving audiences of this state with their brand of American rock!  We chat about how Desmond Jones has shifted their focus to streaming and creating content on platforms like Patreon in the absence of regular touring, and how Chris personally has developed as an artist adapting to more remote work and teaching.
