Phantom Power Artist hour #16 - Jack Phemister
IN THIS EPISODE: Jack Phemister is a bit of a musical misanthrope. His music is a direct reflection of how people view his art, and he's not afraid to completely change directions on you. He's folk. He's punk. He's art for art's sake. And, he's thrilled that he's made more in Bitcoin with 3 songs in the #ValueVerse, than he has with two albums on Spotify. I hope you'll check out this fun interview with a native of Yass, NSW, Australia. #music #melbourne #songwriter #interview #value4value
