  • S4E01 Second Chances - Interview with Danny Coburn
    2023/01/28

    Alcohol abuse in the music world is not sustainable, and it is possible to sober up and have a successful music career. We learn about Danny Coburn's story of when he found his passion for music at an early age, fell into alcohol abuse at 21 years old, to lose his band and way of life. Danny got a wake-up call on his journey towards deciding to stop drinking, and took early steps in recovery to reach 30 days sober, only to find himself thriving again, and making a living as a touring musician with 6 and half years of sobriety.
