Hey everyone!
We've been thinking a lot lately about the local music scene... the really talented musicians pouring their heart and soul into recordings, the venues giving local bands a chance to play, even sometimes for small rooms of listeners, and the music lovers within our communities that come, time and time again, to hear music from independent artists, buy merch, talk to musicians, and support local art. It's a really magical thing. And, in order to better understand it, we're starting a podcast to talk to independent musicians about the music they love, the music they make, and the ways in which music can help bring people together. The podcast is called INDIEd, and the first episode features a conversation with our friends Jack and Luke from the band Fake Radio about embracing musical curiosity, breaking free of algorithm-based musical diets, and building community through independent music.
You can watch/listen to the first episode just below. And, additional episodes, with conversations from other independent musicians, artists, and music lovers from Washington DC and elsewhere, will be coming soon.
