The Anatomy of a Working Musician
What does it really mean to be a working musician? Chris Jericho sits down with his Fozzy brothers - Rich Ward, Billy Grey, and PJ Farley—to break down the grind, the hustle, and the glory of making a living through music alone. Rich shares why he turned down gigs with Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halford, and how “Judas” changed everything for him. PJ recounts going from MTV and arenas with Trixter to bar gigs with the rise of grunge, and why he never stopped. And Billy explains how teaching guitar lessons and playing in tribute bands kept him going through the lean years. They’ve all got stories about record label rip-offs, selling gear to pay rent, chasing that elusive hit single, and the sacrifices it takes to keep playing music you love.
