He worked on both Fleetwood Mac albums: Rumours and Tusk. Join Ken and I to hear all about the engineering, production, and personalities in the studio, along with some good ol’ Rock & Roll mischief.

On this episode of TAXI TV, we will cover what it takes to get your music in 750 TV Shows, with TAXI Member, Keith LuBrant. The two most common “reasons,” I’ve heard for lack of success over the last 28 years are: - I’ve got a full-time job. - I’ve got a family.

Folks, that’s many thousands of actual placements, and the guy creates his music in his “spare” time! I’m not kidding – he’s a great husband and father, and has a very full-time day job! If you’d like to learn how Keith has done what seems impossible to most of us, don’t miss this week’s episode of TAXI TV! Keith is one of the nicest people on the planet, and he’s incredibly humble, as well. He’s also not the kind of guy who will hold back the good stuff. If you want to know the answers
