The Nashville Scene has said, “There’s no overestimating how attractive a juicy back-story is to a journalist, as context for an album or grist for the interview mill.” That dovetails with my philosophy as a publicist, about finding and framing the backstories that will interest journalists, bloggers, and producers.
Loss-Eaton joined the board of directors of the non-profit Music Maker Relief Foundation in 2015. His band Leland Sundries’ released its debut album in 2016.
