The first band Kevin Breuner joined after college, Smalltown Poets, received a Grammy nomination for their first album. That band has been through a number of changes throughout the years, but they’re still active 20 years later. Kevin has also stayed active in the music scene, playing in a couple of bands in addition to Smalltown Poets. One of those bands, Hello Morning, recently got included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
#
When Kevin joined CD Baby, digital distribution was in a nascent stage and CD Baby was an early adopter. That gave him a front-row seat to see how that innovation would go on to transform the music industry. Kevin is currently CD Baby’s Director of Marketing, and he co-hosts their DIY Musician Podcast and helps to organize their annual DIY Musician Conference, which is happening in Nashville this year.
