In this episode of Backstage Money, Jason K Powers sits down with Dale Thompson, lead vocalist of the band Bride, for an honest conversation about longevity, faith, and what it really takes to survive in the music industry for four decades. Dale reflects on his journey with Bride, including hard-earned lessons from early record deals that did not work in the band’s favor. He speaks candidly about being taken advantage of by labels, learning the business side of music the hard way, and why understanding contracts, ownership, and money matters is critical for artists who want to last. The conversation covers the realities of building and sustaining a band through constant industry change, from touring and recording to navigating setbacks, reinvention, and burnout. Dale also shares how faith, discipline, and staying true to your message helped him endure challenges that end many music careers.
