The Hours Are Long, But the Pay Is Low with Rob Miller

Rob Miller arrived in Chicago wanting to escape the music industry. In short order, he co-founded a trailblazing record label revered for its artist-first approach and punk take on country, roots, and so much else. Miller’s memoir, The Hours Are Long, But the Pay Is Low: A Curious Life in Independent Music, follows a music fan’s odyssey through a singular account of Bloodshot Records, the Chicago scene, and thirty years as part of a community sustaining independent artists and businesses. Rob will be in conversation with Martha Bayne, coeditor of Nothing Compares to You: What Sinead O’Connor Means to Us.
