“People ask me all the time how you learn the music biz,” said Rennie. “Simple. Hang out with smart people.

“On my web show, ‘Renman Live’, I’ve been lucky to have had some of the smartest, most talented people in the music biz join me to share their stories, insights and advice with aspiring artists and music pros who are dreaming of doing something big on their own and need some inspiration and direction.

“If you are interested in the music biz, watching an episode of ‘Renman Live’ is the next best thing to sitting on the couch with me and my guests.”

RUSH has announced a 34-city North American tour in celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary. The “R40 Live Tour” kicks off on May 8 at Tulsa, Oklahoma’s BOK Center and winds down on August 1 in Los Angeles, California at the Forum.
