Consulting & Coaching Services

Tired of Spinning Your Wheels?

You’ve poured your heart into your music.
But maybe it feels like this:

  • You’re hustling to book gigs, promote releases, and keep up on socials — but the audience isn’t really growing.
  • You spend more time managing spreadsheets, posts, and emails than actually writing or playing.
  • Some nights you lie awake wondering if anyone even hears your songs.
  • Each year you grind harder… but still feel invisible, unsure, and drained.

That stuck feeling? It’s not just frustrating — it’s dangerous. It eats at your confidence, your creativity, and your career momentum.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Imagine Your Career With Real Support

  • Your songs don’t just go live — they resonate, get shared, and build momentum.
  • Instead of freezing on stage, you step into the spotlight confident, magnetic, unforgettable.
  • Your brand looks and feels as professional as the music you create.
  • Fans don’t just “like” your posts — they engage, connect, and keep showing up.
  • Your career stops stalling and starts building toward something lasting.

This isn’t a dream. With the right roadmap and guidance, it’s your next reality.

The Roadmap: From Stuck to Momentum

We don’t offer random “services.” We walk with you through a guided journey — meeting you where you are, and moving you forward toward the career and creative life you want:

  1. Refine Your Songs & Voice
    You know when a lyric doesn’t land or a melody feels close but not quite right? We work with you through feedback and creative exercises to sharpen your storytelling, polish your lyrics, and strengthen your sound. The result: songs that finally say what you’ve always meant — and connect more deeply with listeners.
  2. Master the Stage
    Stage nerves can hold you back from truly connecting. We show you how to build presence, transform anxiety into energy, and engage the crowd from the first note. The result: confident, magnetic performances that people talk about long after the show.
  3. Shape Your Identity
    Too many artists get lost in imitation. We help you discover and define your sonic signature and personal style so you stand out while staying true to yourself. The result: an unmistakable identity that makes fans recognize — and remember — you.
  4. Craft a Brand Story That Clicks
    A scattered brand leaves audiences confused. We align your bios, visuals, press kits, and digital presence so they all tell the same compelling story. The result: a professional, cohesive brand that opens doors with media, venues, and fans alike.
  5. Engage Fans Authentically
    You don’t want followers, you want a community. We show you how to spark real conversations, deepen loyalty, and turn casual listeners into long-term supporters. The result: fans who don’t just watch you, but walk with you.
  6. Get Heard Beyond Your Circle
    It’s not enough to release a track and hope. We connect you with trusted publicity partners, playlist curators, promoters, and distributors who can amplify your reach. The result: your music played, shared, and discovered by people who would never have found it otherwise.
  7. Stay on Track With a Real Plan
    The DIY grind often means lurching from one project to the next. We help you design a custom roadmap with strategy, systems, and measurable goals tied to the results you care about most. The result: forward momentum — not burnout, not circles.

Why Work With Us

At Earwig Music, we’ve spent decades guiding artists through this exact transformation.

  • Michael Frank (Founder, Earwig Music, est. 1978): Managed and produced legends like David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Sunnyland Slim, and John Primer. Artists he has worked with have earned Grammy Awards, Blues Music Awards and other acclaim. Certified life coach (Brave Thinking Institute).
  • Steven Hausheer: Musician, manager, and producer who has guided notable artists including Jimmy Rogers (The Mauds) and Corky Siegel. He has produced albums for John Primer and Harvey Mandel, led marketing for releases on Earwig Music, Out the Box, and Riverlark Records, and taught Digital Marketing at DePaul University.

Together, we combine artist development, coaching, label experience, and marketing expertise to help you break free from the grind and move forward with clarity.

The Transformation

When you stop struggling alone and start working with the right support:

  • Your songs connect and resonate.
  • You feel confident, alive, and in control on stage.
  • Your brand and career finally look as professional as your music sounds.
  • Fans buy in, support you, and spread the word.
  • Most importantly: you feel like an artist again, not just a hustler doing twelve jobs you never wanted.

Artists we’ve worked with say the same thing: “I finally feel empowered, focused, and taken seriously.”

Your First Step Forward

It starts with a simple, free consultation. In this conversation, you’ll share:

  • What you’re working toward right now.
  • What’s holding you back.
  • Where you want your music to take you.

We’ll listen closely, ask the right questions, and show you how to move from stuck and stressed into momentum and clarity.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s your chance to step off the treadmill, stop spinning your wheels, and start building the career you’ve imagined.
