They tell musicians how to choose the best city to live in (VIDEO)

Last August, we started a new exclusive DT monthly Vlog series documenting the life of 2 Penn graduates who are embarking on a music career, so that others can learn from their experiences.

In this 8th episode (and after living in Austin now for almost 10 months), Ben Naecker (C’09, Water Polo) and Blake West (W’09, Jazz Combos) talk about a few things any musician should consider and ask about any city they consider moving to. (and weighs in on how Austin stacks up)

Plus they fill you in on a recent downfall of theirs that happens to many bands!
