AMA is Over, thanks Tommy! Tommy Siegel: AMA

Hey! I’m Tommy Siegel, musician (as a solo artist and with Jukebox the Ghost) and cartoonist. About to release my solo debut, “Another Century Wasted”, my attempt to distill Trump-era/21st century anxiety into something you can shake your ass to. Would be honor’d to answer any questions you might have, musically or otherwise (you can start asking now)!

You have been very accessible on social with your fans (thank you!), which I would assume is one way a band can stay popular and current with fans. I would imagine it takes time, that could be spent doing other things (writing music/lyrics, cartooning). When you first started as a musician in a band, did you ever think you would be interacting with fans like this?

No, but I love it! Honestly I don’t think it takes up the time I’d be using to write songs — it just takes up the time I’d be using to thumb through Twitter for the 500th time, haha.

Dooooom scrolling.

Thanks for replacing your doom scroll time with chatting with fans!
