Drummer, emcee, and groove architect Austin Baker (@austinbakertx) sits down with Cody and Kai to talk about the real hierarchy of musicianship — entertainer first, musician second, and everything else third. From quitting alcohol to staying booked in the Austin scene, Austin breaks down what separates players who gig from players who get it.
🎙️ Topics include:
How ego kills gigs (and how to leave it offstage)
Finding balance between showmanship and musicianship
Sobriety and being “light in dark environments”
Why “serving the song” is the only rule that matters
Austin’s philosophy on groove, purpose, and staying booked
