An Interview with Vick La Car

Описание: Vic LaCar on Going Independent, Writing “Witches Brew,” and the Art of Staying Raw

Guitarist, songwriter, and all-around rock lifer Vic LaCar joins We Go to 11 to talk about doing it all himself—no label, no publisher, just raw, unfiltered music. In this candid conversation, Vic walks us through the making of “Witches Brew” and “Savage Tribe,” the influence of Santana and Zeppelin, and how he assembled a killer cast of collaborators including Tony Franklin and Russell Gilbrook.

We dive deep into:

Owning your masters and publishing

Learning from industry mistakes

Letting the groove lead the way

Creating art that isn’t filtered for algorithms

The fine line between being a musician and an artist

Vic also shares a Spinal Tap moment onstage, talks about the importance of honesty in songwriting credits, and previews his upcoming single “Solitary Man.”
