Some people play music. Kyle Bedbury builds his entire life around it.Drummer. Rapper. DJ. Producer. Guitar player. Promoter. Tour organizer. And somehow, he’s still finding more ways to stay busy.In Episode 64 of The Minnesota Music Note, Will sits down with Kyle Bedbury to talk about his nonstop journey through Minnesota’s music scene and how he turned a lifelong obsession with music into a life where he simply keeps finding the next opportunity.From playing drums with Motley Six and Hellrider to producing beats, rapping, DJing, buying and trading gear, and putting together his own shows, Kyle does a little bit of everything. And right now, he’s taking that independent mindset on the road with the Independent Hustle Tour, a six-show run stretching from Duluth, Minnesota to Brandon, South Dakota.Kyle breaks down what it actually takes to put a tour together, book venues, bring artists together, promote the shows, handle production, and create opportunities instead of waiting around for someone else to make them happen.In this episode we talked about:- Kyle’s journey from banging on buckets as a kid while listening to KISS to becoming the drummer he is today.- Growing up surrounded by musicians and eventually starting his own bands, including his early project Mother Earth.- How he went from drumming into the world of rap, beat-making, producing, DJing, and songwriting.- The story of how Kyle landed the drum spot with Motley Six, including the broken ankle that temporarily put everything on hold and the band’s decision to wait for him.- The Independent Hustle Tour, Kyle’s upcoming six-show run taking him from Duluth to Pine City, Minneapolis, Anoka, and all the way to Brandon, South Dakota, and what goes into making an independent tour happen.- How Kyle and his booking partners route a tour, work with venues, book local artists, provide production, promote the shows, and build their own blueprint for doing it again.- Why Kyle believes musicians need to take ownership of promoting their shows instead of expecting the venue to do all the work, and how bringing your own crowd can help get you booked again.- Kyle’s “don’t take no for an answer” mentality, his ever-growing music space, and why he plans to keep building, creating, touring, and adding to the snowball every single day.The Independent Hustle Tour is just one piece of what Kyle has going on, but it perfectly captures his mindset: don’t wait for the opportunity. Build it, promote it, and go make it happen.🎧 Tune into Episode 64 of The Minnesota Music Note with Kyle Bedbury and hear the full conversation.If you're part of the Minnesota music scene—or know someone with a story worth sharing—we'd love to hear from you.
