Mercy Alliance’s Joe Rathbone – HuffPost 9.3.14

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Joe Rathbone: My best advice is to make great records no matter what it takes, no matter how rough the business is being to you, no one can take that product away and you owe it to yourself to make excellent music and not settle. Nothing can happen for you ever if you don’t make great records

MR: What was the best advice given to you and did you follow it?

JR: I had a teacher years ago who told me, “Joe, sometimes you just have to know when to shake it loose and move on to new territory.” I would say that I have started finally after many years to follow his advice.
