Live music and touring have been on lockdown and fans as well as artists are going through withdrawals. We wanted to come up with something fun to help bridge that distance between fans and artists right now. What we came up with is something called The Lockdown Lowdown and it’s a Q&A session with fun questions for artists to answer. They’re not your typical interview questions, so it gives you a peek inside of the artists themselves. We’re big music nerds here at I’m Music Magazine and we love learning things like this about the artists that we love. We’re pretty sure that you’ll get a kick out of these, so we hope you’ll take the time to read them. In this installment, we sat down for a fun Q&A session with Earshot vocalist Wil Martin.

Also, how are you spending your time during the pandemic?,
Writing and sharpening mixing skills. Just finished up doing vocals on an album of cover songs with George Lynch and Jeff Pilson (Dokken). And contemplating the possibility of starting a small artist development label.
Are you working on new music? If so, can you reveal any details?
Absolutely. We just released an AWESOME version of Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited”, and we’re currently finishing up another track for release that’ll hopefully release in the next few weeks to a month from now. We’re also working on recording an EP that we’re hoping to put out late summer/ early fall 2020.
