From Rockstar to TV Composer What Dave Kushner's Journey Can Teach You

Hey, what’s up, you guys! Marty Schwartz here with another awesome podcast episode for Marty Music. This time, I’m hanging out with Dave Kushner, legendary guitarist for Velvet Revolver, and now a successful TV and film composer. We chat about how Velvet Revolver came to be, his incredible journey into music scoring, and creating the iconic theme song for Sons of Anarchy.

This episode is packed with stories, riffs, and insights for music fans and guitar players alike. Don’t miss Dave sharing his experiences with Scott Weiland, Slash, and more!
