Making a Scene Presents - When YouTube Removes the Cash Register: What the Creator Music Change Means for Indie Artists
For the last few years, YouTube Creator Music offered independent musicians something worth paying attention to. A video creator could find certain songs inside YouTube’s licensing marketplace, pay an upfront fee for permission to use one of those tracks, and then use that music in an eligible monetized video while keeping the normal revenue share from the video.
For the music rights holder, the arrangement created something that looked remarkably like a small-scale synchronization licensing marketplace. It was not Hollywood money, and nobody was ordering a new swimming pool because a cooking channel licensed their instrumental, but it created a relatively simple way for music owners and video creators to do business with each other.
Now that paid part of Creator Music is going away.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Gabriel Mas
Gabriel Más is the spiritual and creative continuation of Gabriel Bondage, the 1970s progressive rock band that built its identity around ambitious compositions, mystical themes, and a restless desire to push music beyond ordinary boundaries. The name Gabriel Más, with más meaning “more” in Spanish, reflects both a return and an expansion: a new chapter rooted in the past, but not confined by it.
The project is led by original Gabriel Bondage member Rex Bundy and longtime friend, collaborator, and musical partner Rich Reardin. Together, they have created a rebirth that honors the spirit of Gabriel Bondage while opening the door to new songs, new sounds, and a broader creative vision.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Harrell "Young Rell" Davenport
How does a 19-year-old blues artist from Vicksburg, Mississippi play his first gig in Chicago and end up with 165,000 views and 4,000 shares of the performance on Facebook? In the case of Harrell “Young Rell” Davenport, the answer is simple: he is one of the most exciting young voices rising in the blues today.
Young Rell began playing harmonica and guitar at the age of seven, discovering early that the blues gave him both a language and a lifeline. As a child, he faced personal struggles and trauma, and he found comfort in music born from hardship, resilience, and survival. The blues became more than a style for him. It became a way to understand pain, express emotion, and turn difficult experience into something honest and powerful.

Making a Scene Presents - DI vs. Mic Recording for Guitars and Bass: What’s the Difference?
Two Ways to Capture the Same Player
Put a bass player or guitarist in front of a recording system and you can capture the performance in two very different places. You can take the electrical signal straight from the instrument before it reaches a loudspeaker, or you can place a microphone in front of an amplifier and record the sound after the amp, speaker, cabinet, air, and room have all changed it.
That is the basic difference between DI and microphone recording, but it is not a contest between the “real” method and the “fake” method. Both are real, both have been used on successful records, and both can be either wonderful or awful depending on the player, instrument, song, room, equipment, and decisions being made.
For an independent artist, the best method is not always the one that looks most impressive in a studio photo. It is the method that captures the emotion of the performance, fits the production, stays within the budget, and gives the artist enough flexibility to finish the record without creating a technical hostage situation.

Making a Scene Presents - TREBEL Buys Sesh and the Race to Own the Superfan Layer Begins
For most of the streaming era, the music platform business has revolved around one basic action: getting someone to press play. The listener searches for a song, finds a playlist, follows a recommendation, or taps whatever the algorithm places in front of them. The platform tracks the activity, serves an advertisement or collects a subscription payment, and sends a small portion of the revenue through the music-rights system. The artist receives a stream count, a royalty report, and perhaps a map showing where the listening took place. Everyone calls this engagement, although the artist usually still has no idea who engaged.

Making a Scene Presents - The Grammys Leave CBS for Disney: The Money, Media Power, and Politics Behind Music’s Biggest Move
For more than half a century, the Grammy Awards and CBS seemed permanently attached. The golden gramophone showed up on CBS every winter like an old relative who never needed directions to the house. Hosts changed, musical styles changed, television changed, and musicians went from selling records to chasing fifteen-second video trends. Yet the Grammys stayed put.
That long marriage has now ended.

Making a Scene Presents - Universal Music’s Stock Crash Is a Warning About Building a Career on Streaming Alone
The Music Business Had a Very Bad Day
On July 31, 2026, Universal Music Group had the kind of day that gets the attention of everyone in the music business. Shares of the world’s largest music company lost roughly one-quarter of their value in Amsterdam. It was Universal Music Group’s worst trading day since the company became publicly traded in September 2021. The decline erased approximately $10 billion from the company’s market value, based on the exchange rate at the time.

Making a Scene Presents - Your Distributor Is Becoming Your Storefront: Private Equity, Consolidation, and the Fight for the Independent Artist’s Customer
For many independent artists, choosing a music distributor feels like choosing a mailbox.
You upload the song, type in the title, attach the artwork, enter enough names and numbers to make your eyes glaze over, and then wait for the music to appear on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, and the rest of the digital neighborhood.
The distributor delivers the package. The stores play the music. Royalties eventually trickle back. Everybody goes home.
That simple picture is becoming badly outdated.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Clark Paterson
Clark Paterson does not write songs from a safe distance. He writes them from the middle of the wreckage: hospital rooms, court dates, bar shifts at Robert’s Western World, old farmhouses mid-restoration, garages cluttered with vintage car parts, and the strange emotional territory between heartbreak, survival, and redemption.

Making a Scene Presents - Build a Content Strategy That Brings Fans Home
Every independent artist has heard the same advice. Post more. Make more videos. Be consistent. Feed the algorithm. Dance near the chorus. Point at floating words. Pretend your drummer did something shocking in the studio.
Some of that may help people discover you. None of it automatically gives you a music business.
A social media post can earn thousands of views and still leave the artist with no useful way to contact the people who watched it. A song can land on a playlist, gain streams, and disappear from the listener’s life as soon as the platform serves the next track. A video can go viral while ticket sales remain stubbornly committed to remaining exactly where they were.
The problem is not that social media and streaming are useless. They are extremely useful when given the right job.
They are doors of discovery.
They are not the house.

Making a Scene Presents - Your Fans Are Not Portable Just Because Your Songs Are
Your Fans Are Not Portable Just Because Your Songs Are
On July 22, 2026, SoundCloud announced that it had acquired the remaining assets of Nina Protocol, an independent music platform built around direct artist-to-fan sales, editorial discovery, and blockchain-based ownership tools. The acquisition included Nina’s editorial archive and its genre map, a system designed to connect artists, releases, scenes, and musical communities. SoundCloud also introduced an optional migration process that gives Nina artists a way to move their music, content, and followers into SoundCloud’s creator ecosystem. Artists are not being moved automatically. Each artist must decide whether to take part, and the financial terms of the deal were not publicly disclosed.
At first glance, this may look like a relatively small technology acquisition. One company closed, a larger company bought some of what remained, and artists were offered a way to move their work. The editorial archive may survive, the genre map may find a new life, and former Nina artists may gain access to a larger creator platform. From a distance, it looks like the music industry version of moving boxes from one apartment to another and hoping none of the cables disappear.
But this story raises a much larger and more uncomfortable question for independent musicians. When an artist-friendly platform shuts down, gets acquired, runs out of funding, changes direction, or simply disappears, which parts of an artist’s business can actually travel with the artist? Music files may be easy to copy. Artwork may be downloadable. A biography can be pasted into a new profile. Even a follower count may sometimes be carried into another system. The harder issue is whether the business relationship behind those numbers can move too.

Making a Scene Presents - The AI Copyright Fight Will Be Won by Whoever Has the Best Records
Sony’s New Lawsuit Comes With a Very Long Song List
Sony Music Entertainment filed another federal lawsuit against AI music company Udio on July 20, 2026. This time, Sony’s complaint concerns more than 30,000 sound recordings that it claims were copied and used in connection with Udio’s generative AI models without permission.
That is an enormous number of recordings. It is large enough to make the average independent artist stare at their own hard drive, notice three folders named “Old Masters,” and quietly close the laptop.
Sony had previously attempted to add 30,442 recordings to the lawsuit it originally brought against Udio in 2024. On July 2, 2026, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein denied that request, leaving the earlier case focused on 333 works that remained in the original action. Sony responded by filing a separate lawsuit covering the additional recordings.
Sony says it found the additional works after gaining access to information about Udio’s training data during legal discovery. According to Sony’s allegations, it then used audio-fingerprinting technology to compare that information with recordings in its catalog.
Those words matter: according to Sony’s allegations.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Silver Summer
Silver Summer makes music for the neon hours: the space between last call and sunrise, between memory and possibility, between heartbreak and the reckless feeling that something beautiful might still happen before morning. Blending 1970s glam, disco, and punk with a shimmering wash of 1980s synths, the Mankato, Minnesota band creates a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, like a lost dance-floor anthem beamed in from another timeline.

Making a Scene Presents - What Sound Actually Is: The Science Every Musician Should Understand
Before the Microphone, Something Has to Move
Every recording begins with movement.
Before the microphone, the preamp, the audio interface, the computer, the waveform, the compressor, and the plugin with the picture of a rusty spaceship, something must vibrate.
A singer pushes air from the lungs past the vocal folds. Those folds open and close rapidly. A guitarist plucks a string, causing it to move back and forth. A drummer strikes a drumhead, which bends inward and springs back. A cymbal flexes in many directions at once. A piano hammer hits a string. A loudspeaker cone moves forward and backward.
That movement pushes and pulls on the air around it.
Air may look like empty space, but it is filled with tiny molecules. When a guitar string moves, it pushes nearby air molecules closer together. Those molecules bump into the next group, which bumps into another group. When the string moves back, it leaves a slightly less crowded area behind it. The result is a traveling pattern of higher and lower pressure.
That traveling pressure pattern is a sound wave.

Making a Scene Presents - The New Music Search Engine Is a Conversation
The Search Box Just Learned How to Talk
Picture a music fan driving home late at night. The road is empty, the dashboard is glowing, and the fan wants to hear something new. In the old days, this person might search for “blues rock,” open a playlist with a picture of a guitar on the cover, and begin skipping through songs that all seem to have been chosen by the same mysterious fellow wearing sunglasses indoors.
Now the fan may be able to ask a much better question.
“Find me a blues-rock artist from Atlanta with powerful female vocals, strong guitar work, and songs that sound good on a late-night drive.”
That is not a normal search. It is a description of a need. The listener is not naming an artist or requesting a song title. The listener is describing a sound, a place, a voice, a mood, and a moment.
This is where music discovery is heading.

Making a Scene Presents - AI Training Royalties Are Coming—But Will Indie Artists Get Paid?
Artificial intelligence companies have spent the past few years treating music like an unattended buffet. Recordings, lyrics, artwork, voices, performances, and entire creative styles have been pulled into giant data collections. Artists were often left wondering whether their work had been used, who used it, what it helped create, and whether anybody planned to pay them.
Now the music business is beginning to move toward a different model. Instead of taking first and arguing about permission later, some companies are trying to build licensed AI systems in which creators can choose whether their work is included. That sounds better. It probably is better.
But “better than unpaid scraping” is a pretty low bar. A raccoon with a stolen sandwich could clear it. The real question is not whether AI licensing programs will exist. They are already beginning to appear. The real question is whether independent artists will receive fair payments, useful reports, meaningful control, and enough information to know whether the deal makes sense.
There is also another uncomfortable question. When an AI company finally comes looking for licensed music, will the artist be able to prove what they own?

Making a Scene Presents - The Music Industry Does Not Have a Fan Problem. It Has a Customer-Ownership Problem
An independent artist sits in front of a laptop, staring at numbers that should feel exciting. The new single has passed 100,000 streams. A video has collected thousands of views. The band’s social pages have picked up followers from several countries. Last month’s show sold well, and the ticketing company scanned hundreds of people through the door. By every visible measure, something seems to be happening.
Then the artist asks a question that makes the whole celebration go strangely quiet: Who are these people?
The artist does not mean their average age, their general location, or which playlist delivered the most streams. They want to know which people came to the show, bought the shirt, played the album more than once, or might buy a ticket when the band returns. They want to know who prefers vinyl, who might join a membership, who would attend a house concert, who needs a producer, who might book a private show, and who has already supported the music three or four times.
The artist usually does not know.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Todd Mack
For more than 40 years, singer-songwriter, producer, and community-builder Todd Mack has followed the road less traveled, creating a life in music that has taken him across continents, cultures, and unexpected stages. His songs have carried him far beyond the usual club and theater circuit, with performances at the famed Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club, a bomb shelter in Israel, a remote island in Fiji, an olive grove in the West Bank, and the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan. Wherever he has traveled, Mack has used music as a bridge: a way to connect, listen, tell stories, and find common ground.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Customers
Customers are a guitar-driven rock band originally formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1995 by songwriter and vocalist Ryan Sexton. The group’s story began when a demo of Sexton’s songs made its way to Elliot Roberts, Neil Young’s longtime manager, who was then helping launch Young’s label, Vapor Records. Roberts heard promise in the songs and asked whether Sexton could put together a band to bring the material to life. From that opportunity, Customers were born.

Making a Scene Presents - Arrangement Before Mixing: Fix It in the Song, Not the Plugin
Welcome to the Plugin Pileup
You press Play.
The drums sound powerful. The bass sounds huge. The guitars und like a choir descending from the heavens with excellent credit.
There is only one small problem.
You cannot hear the song.
The lead vocal is buried. The bass and kick drum are wrestling in a dark basement. Three guitar parts are fighting over the same few notes. A giant keyboard pad stretches from one end of the frequency range to the other. The background singers are performing as if they have just staged a successful coup.
So you do what many home-studio producers do. You open an equalizer. Then a compressor. Then another equalizer because the first equalizer clearly did not understand the assignment. Then a stereo widener. Then a saturation plugin. Then a masking tool. Then something with a glowing tube graphic and the word “vintage” in its name.
Two hours later, the mix is louder, wider, brighter, warmer, more exciting, and somehow even harder to understand.
This is often the moment when the artist decides the problem must be a lack of expensive plugins.
It probably is not.
Many mixing problems begin before mixing. They begin while the parts are being written, chosen, performed, layered, and recorded. They begin when every instrument is given permission to play all the time. They begin when a guitar, piano, synthesizer, bass, and vocal are all placed in the same musical range. They begin when the verse is already at full power, leaving the chorus with nowhere to go except slightly louder and perhaps wearing a hat.
The hard truth is also good news. You may not need another plugin. You may need a better arrangement.

Making a Scene Presents - How AI Can Turn One Song Into a 30-Day Marketing Plan
Your Song Is More Than One Release-Day Post
Independent artists are often told that they need more content.
More videos. More posts. More stories. More emails. More reels. More reasons to dance in front of a phone while pointing at words floating over their heads.
The pressure never stops.
The problem is not that artists have nothing to say. The problem is that most artists do not have a system for turning what they have already created into a steady flow of useful stories, fan conversations, and income opportunities.
A song may take months to write, record, mix, master, and release. Then the artist posts the cover art, drops a streaming link, asks everyone to listen, and moves on three days later because the algorithm has already developed the attention span of a caffeinated squirrel.
That is a terrible return on the time, money, and emotion that went into the music.
One song can support a full month of marketing without the artist repeating the same sales pitch thirty times. The song contains lyrics, emotions, production choices, personal stories, visual ideas, fan questions, live-performance moments, merchandise ideas, video clips, and reasons for people to join the artist’s journey.
Artificial intelligence can help uncover those pieces. It can organize them, rewrite them for different platforms, create variations, suggest visuals, draft emails, outline reels, and build a working calendar.
But AI should not become the artist.
The artist supplies the truth, personality, music, feelings, and point of view. AI helps turn that raw material into a usable plan. Think of it as a fast assistant who never gets tired, but occasionally says something ridiculous with complete confidence. You still need to be the boss.
Most important, the goal of this campaign is not simply to create thirty days of social media activity. Social media should be the doorway. The artist’s own website, email list, store, fan community, and permission-based fan system should be the destination.
A like is nice. A direct relationship is better.
A view may disappear into a platform report. An email signup, direct purchase, ticket buyer, Fan Passport follow, or membership can become part of the artist’s real business.
That is how one song starts doing more than collecting streams. It begins building the music industry middle class.

Making a Scene Presents - Fan Data Is the New Currency of the Music Industry—and Why Are Artists Still Broke
The Gold Rush Nobody Told the Artist About
Every time a fan streams a song, skips a song, saves an album, watches a video, buys a ticket, clicks an advertisement, follows an artist, visits a website, or abandons a shopping cart, something valuable is created.
Data.
That data may reveal where the fan lives, what music they enjoy, which device they use, when they listen, what they buy, how much they spend, which advertisement caught their attention, and what action they are likely to take next.
The modern music industry runs on this information. Streaming services use it to recommend songs. Social networks use it to decide which posts appear in a feed. Advertisers use it to target possible customers. Ticketing companies use it to promote future events. Record labels use it to decide where to spend marketing money.
Everyone appears to understand the value of fan data except the person who created the reason for that data to exist.

Making a Scene Presents - The Breakthrough Myth Has a Cash-Flow Problem
A viral moment can make an artist look successful. A durable mix of shows, merch, direct sales, publishing, licensing, fan support, and useful technology can help an artist stay successful. Week One of The Artist-Owned Middle Class replaces the lottery-ticket version of the music business with a system working artists can actually build.
The Music Business Still Sells Lottery Tickets
The music business loves a breakthrough story. It is simple, dramatic, and easy to sell. An unknown artist uploads a song, the right person hears it, the algorithm catches fire, the crowd arrives, and life changes before lunch. Roll the credits. Somebody call the documentary crew.
There is only one small problem with this story: it skips the part where a career has to pay its bills. Attention is not a checking account. A packed comment section cannot pay for a van repair. A playlist placement does not automatically create a merch customer. A huge view count may look wonderful in a screenshot while the artist is still moving money from a day job to cover rehearsal space.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Brigitte Purdy
Brigitte Rios Purdy is a Los Angeles-born singer and songwriter whose voice carries the warmth of classic soul, the emotional depth of the blues, and the smooth elegance of R&B. From an early age, Purdy understood that singing was more than simply having a gifted voice. For her, music became a way to translate inner feeling into sound, turning personal emotion into songs that connect with listeners on a deeply human level.
Raised in Los Angeles, Brigitte was drawn to the power and honesty of soul, blues, and rhythm and blues. Her pure, silky vocal tone quickly set her apart, earning her opportunities to perform alongside respected artists including Walter Trout, Sugaray Rayford, Tim Bogert, Dionne Warwick, and Dolly Parton. She has also contributed background vocals for major artists such as The Who and Paul Rodgers, experiences that placed her in the company of some of rock, soul, and blues music’s most recognizable names.

Making a Scene Presents - Using AI Tools to Improve Your Mix Without Letting AI Take Over
The New Home Studio Problem
The home studio has changed everything for the independent artist. That little room in the house, the spare bedroom, the basement corner, the treated garage, or the desk with a laptop and a pair of headphones is no longer just a demo space. It is where songs are written, arranged, recorded, mixed, mastered, pitched, released, and sometimes turned into real income.
That is powerful. It is also a lot of pressure.
A working indie artist today is expected to be the songwriter, performer, producer, engineer, content creator, marketer, booking department, merch department, and sometimes the van driver. Somewhere in the middle of all that, they are also supposed to make a mix that sounds good on studio monitors, earbuds, car speakers, phones, laptops, club PAs, streaming platforms, radio shows, sync pitches, and the merch table after the gig.

Making a Scene Presents - How To Use AI To Write Better Email Subject Lines For Fans
The First Line Is The Front Door
Every indie artist knows the feeling. You have a show coming up, a new single dropping, a fresh batch of shirts on the merch table, or a membership offer you finally got the nerve to launch. You write the email. You care about the email. You know the people on that list are not strangers. They are fans, friends, buyers, believers, and maybe a few people who signed up three years ago at a gig and forgot they did. Then you get to the subject line and freeze.
That tiny line suddenly feels bigger than the song.
The subject line is not the whole email, but it is the front door. If it feels fake, fans walk past it. If it feels boring, they miss something they might have cared about. If it feels like a desperate ad, they delete it. If it sounds like you, gives them a real reason to open, and respects their time, you have a much better shot.

Making a Scene Presents - How To Build A Simple Artist CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Without Getting Overwhelmed
The Fan List Is Not The Boring Part
Somewhere along the way, independent artists were tricked into thinking the “business side” of music was a separate, joyless dungeon where creativity goes to die under a pile of spreadsheets. The myth says the real artist writes songs, plays shows, makes records, and posts into the algorithmic void while some mysterious business goblin with a laptop handles the rest. That myth has been very useful for platforms, labels, middlemen, and anyone else who benefits when artists stay disorganized.
The truth is much simpler and much more dangerous to the old system. Your fan list is not the boring part. Your fan list is the beginning of your independent music business.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Silverteens
The Silverteens are a Minneapolis band with deep roots in the city’s rock, punk, new wave, and power pop history. Long known for an eclectic live set that pulls from obscure 1960s garage rock, late 1970s punk, power pop, and other high-energy corners of rock and roll, the band brings together musicians who have been active in the local scene since the 1970s and 1980s.
What gives The Silverteens their character is not just their song selection, but the history behind the players. Each member carries decades of experience from Minneapolis clubs, original bands, cover projects, and the underground music community that helped shape the city’s identity. Their sound reflects that background: raw but tuneful, loose in the right places, sharp when it counts, and rooted in the joy of playing songs that still have electricity in them.

Making a Scene Presents - The Next Music Manager May Be A Workflow Designer
The Old Music Business Loved A Gatekeeper
For a long time, the dream was simple. Find a manager who knew the right people, could get the right meetings, and maybe knew which hotel lobby to haunt during a conference. The manager was the person with access. They had the phone numbers, the relationships, the mystery spreadsheet, and the ability to say, “Let me make a call,” which always sounded like wizardry even when it meant leaving a voicemail.
That version of management is not dead. Relationships still matter. A good manager can still open doors, negotiate deals, protect an artist from bad contracts, and keep the wheels on the van when the business starts moving faster than the band can think. But for most independent artists, the first manager they need today is not a gatekeeper. It is a system. More specifically, it is the ability to design workflows that turn attention into relationships, relationships into income, and income into a career that does not collapse every time an algorithm sneezes.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kaatwalk
Kaatwalk is a Twin Cities-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in quiet honesty, emotional presence, and the kind of storytelling that turns everyday moments into something deeply human. Inspired by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, and Joni Mitchell, she writes with a reflective voice that values truth over polish and connection over perfection.
Her sound moves easily across folk, Americana, indie, and singer-songwriter traditions without being boxed into one genre. At the center of it all is the song: intimate lyrics, stripped-down arrangements, and performances that feel personal, lived-in, and real. Kaatwalk draws from shared experiences, small details, emotional undercurrents, and the moments people often carry quietly. Her music gives those feelings room to breathe.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Trace Foster of Close Enemies
Close Enemies is a rock band built on contrast: raw emotion and polished intensity, grit and melody, chaos and calm. Their sound blends hard-hitting guitar riffs, driving rhythms, atmospheric textures, and haunting vocals into music that feels both familiar and fresh. Rooted in the spirit of classic rock but shaped with a modern edge, Close Enemies creates songs that hit with power while still leaving room for mood, depth, and emotional weight.

Modern audio mastering has shifted from a focus on sheer volume to a nuanced understanding of loudness normalization across streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The provided text explains that LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) serves as a vital measurement tool for human perception of sound rather than a strict creative limit. Musicians are encouraged to prioritize mix density and dynamic balance over hitting specific numerical targets, as over-processing can lead to distorted or lifeless tracks. Key technical safeguards, such as maintaining true peak headroom, ensure that audio remains clear during digital conversion and encoding processes. Ultimately, successful mastering requires volume-matched referencing and a focus on how a song translates across various listening environments. The source emphasizes that the goal of the contemporary engineer is to achieve a professional sound that feels impactful and alive regardless of platform adjustments.

Making a Scene Presents An Interview with Kyle LaLone
Kyle LaLone is a roots-rock journeyman whose music lives at the crossroads of classic country, Americana, and heartland rock & roll. A guitarist, songwriter, and performer with deep roots in American music, LaLone writes songs built on grit, melody, and hard-earned truth. His sound nods to the guitar-playing storytellers who came before him, from Hank Williams to Tom Petty, while steadily carving out a road of his own.
That road comes into sharper focus on Make My Own Way, an anthemic new record that finds LaLone stretching beyond the twang of his earlier releases and stepping into a tougher, more rock-driven sound. The album carries the honesty of country songwriting, the muscle of heartland rock, and the emotional weight of an artist who has lived through struggle and come out with something to say.

Making a Scene Presents - The Indie Artist’s AI Content Calendar That Actually Leads Somewhere
Stop Feeding the Machine for Free
Most indie artists do not need more content.
That sounds wrong at first, because every platform tells artists the opposite. Instagram wants another reel. TikTok wants another clip. YouTube wants another short. Facebook wants another event post. Spotify wants another canvas, another artist pick, another profile update. The whole internet acts like your career will finally move if you can just post more, faster, louder, and with the right hook in the first three seconds.
But that is not a business plan. That is treadmill work.
The real problem is not that indie artists are lazy about content. Most working artists are already doing too much. They are writing songs, booking shows, loading gear, recording vocals, editing video, answering messages, chasing payments, shipping shirts, designing flyers, updating websites, pitching playlists, and trying to remember what city they are in next Friday. Then they are told they need to become full-time content creators on top of being full-time musicians.
That is how the modern artist gets tricked. The platforms turn every artist into a free media worker, and then rent the attention back to them.

Making a Scene Presents - The Artist Revenue Ladder: How Indie Artists Turn Free Fans Into Real Income Over Time
There is a dangerous lie floating around the music business, and it has been sold to indie artists for years. The lie says that if enough people hear your music, the money will somehow show up later. Get more streams. Get more followers. Get more likes. Get more views. Feed the machine. Keep posting. Keep begging the algorithm to notice you. Keep hoping that one day a stranger in a boardroom or a playlist editor behind a locked digital curtain will point at your song and say, “This one.”
That is not a business plan. That is a lottery ticket with a guitar strap.

Making a Scene Presents - The Return Of The Regional Music Economy
Why the Future of Independent Music May Be Closer to Home Than We Think
There was a time when every serious artist was told the same story.
Get out of town. Get in the van. Hit the road. Go national. Chase the playlist. Chase the press. Chase the algorithm. Chase the booking agent. Chase the big festival slot. Chase anything that looked bigger than the town you came from.
The dream was always somewhere else.
It was in another city. Another state. Another market. Another platform. Another gatekeeper’s office. Another playlist editor’s inbox. Another social media feed where the numbers looked big enough to feel like momentum.
But the road has changed.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Ghalia Volt
No barriers. No boundaries. That has always been Ghalia Volt’s approach to American roots music.
Born in Belgium and now based in New Orleans, Ghalia Volt is a blues-rock singer, guitarist, drummer, and songwriter whose music refuses to stay in one lane. Her sound reaches across borders, pulling from the flamenco and traditional Spanish music she heard through her grandparents, the punk, garage rock, and psychobilly that shaped her early taste, and the deep blues traditions of artists like Skip James, J.B. Lenoir, and John Lee Hooker.

Making a Scene Presents - Mixing Quietly: Why Lower Volume Makes Better Decisions
There is one home studio habit that can improve almost every mix without costing a dime. It does not require a new interface, a new microphone, a new plug-in bundle, or some secret trick from a million-dollar control room. It is almost boring in how simple it is.
Turn the monitors down.
That’s it. Not forever. Not so low that you can barely hear the song. Not as a punishment. Not because loud music is bad. Music is supposed to move air. Music is supposed to hit you in the chest when the moment calls for it. But when you are making mix decisions, especially in a home studio, loud volume can lie to you. Low volume tells the truth more often.

Making a Scene Artist Fan Passport OS: The Free Gateway To An Artist-Owned Music Economy
The Music Business Needs A Middle Class Again
The music business has never had a talent problem. It has had an ownership problem.
Every town has artists who can move a room. Every scene has songwriters, bands, producers, players, DJs, engineers, promoters, and music lovers who are doing the work without the safety net. These are not hobbyists pretending to be artists. These are working creators trying to build something real in a business that keeps asking them to chase attention instead of own relationships.
That is the problem the Making a Scene Artist Fan Passport OS was built to solve.

Making a Scene Presents - The Digital Campfire: How AI Can Create Community Instead of Content
Somewhere along the way, independent artists were handed a job they never asked for.
They were told to become content creators.
Not songwriters. Not performers. Not recording artists. Not community builders. Not storytellers. Content creators.
That phrase may sound harmless, but it changed the way artists think about their own careers. It turned the song into a post. It turned the fan into a metric. It turned the live show into a clip. It turned the artist’s life into raw material for a platform that always wants more.
Post more. Film more. Share more. React faster. Go live. Make reels. Make shorts. Use the trend. Feed the algorithm. Do it again tomorrow.
And if it does not work, the answer is always the same.
Create more content.
But here is the problem. Fans do not wake up in the morning hoping their favorite artist gives them more content. They want connection. They want meaning. They want a reason to care. They want to feel like they found something real in a digital world full of noise.

Making a Scene Presents - Transient Shaping: Controlling Punch Without Compression
There is a moment in almost every home studio mix where the artist reaches for a compressor because something does not hit hard enough. The snare feels soft. The kick feels buried. The acoustic guitar sounds flat. The electric guitar does not jump out of the speakers. The drums feel like they are sitting behind a blanket instead of driving the song forward. So the first instinct is to compress it.

Making a Scene Presents - Fender Studio Pro 8.1 Review: AI Finally Walks Into the DAW Without Kicking the Artist Out of the Room
There are updates that add a few fixes, polish a few menus, and quietly move the version number forward. Then there are updates that tell you where a company thinks music production is going. Fender Studio Pro 8.1 is the second kind. This is not just a maintenance release. This is Fender planting a flag in the ground and saying that the next version of the home studio is not only about tracks, plugins, and editing tools.

Making a Scene Presents - Low-End Control: How to Get Tight Bass and Kick Without Mud
Why the Bottom End Makes or Breaks the Mix
Most beginner mixes do not fall apart because the vocal is terrible. They do not fall apart because the guitar tone is unusable. They usually fall apart because the low end turns into a swamp. The kick drum gets big, then the bass gets big, then somebody turns up the low knob because the speakers are not giving them enough chest punch, and suddenly the whole song sounds like it is wearing a winter coat indoors.

The Old Doors Are Still Standing, But the Locks Are Breaking
For most of the modern music business, artists were trained to stand in line.
Stand in line for the label. Stand in line for the radio programmer. Stand in line for the booking agent. Stand in line for the publicist. Stand in line for the playlist editor. Stand in line for the platform algorithm. Stand in line, wait your turn, be grateful, and maybe somebody with a desk, a budget, and a parking spot near the front of the building would decide your music was worth putting in front of people.
That was the deal. The artist made the music. The gatekeeper owned the road.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Lance and Lea
Lance and Lea are Nashville’s definition of “two worlds collide”—and somehow it works so well it feels inevitable. Their story starts on opposite sides of the tracks: Lea grew up Amish, singing country and gospel hymns in church, while Lance came up as a rock musician in the gritty Texas club scene. They met in Nashville, booked a single songwriting session, and by the end of that first write the duo Lance and Lea was born.
That contrast is the engine of their sound. Their music lives where old-school country meets rock, powered by Lance’s Texas blues guitar riffs and Lea’s pure, soothing lead voice and harmony instincts. Together they’ve built a creative partnership that’s relentlessly productive—writing over 1,000 songs—and the result is a catalog that feels both rooted and fresh.

Making a Scene Presents - Using Saturation for Warmth: The Digital Trick That Feels Analog
Why This Matters: Character Without Expensive Gear
There is a funny lie that keeps floating around the home recording world. It says that if your mix does not sound warm, rich, and expensive, you must need better gear. A better microphone. A better preamp. A better interface. A better room. A better compressor. A rack full of vintage hardware that costs more than your car. The gear companies love that story because it keeps independent artists chasing the next shiny box instead of learning how sound actually works.
Now, let’s be honest. Good gear is great. A nice preamp can be beautiful. A real tape machine can be magic. A great room can make recording easier. But none of that changes the truth that most indie artists are working in bedrooms, basements, spare rooms, garages, and small home studios. That is not a weakness. That is the new center of the music business. The home studio is where songs are written, demos become masters, artists build catalogs, and independent careers are built one track at a time.

There is a moment that happens every day in the life of an independent artist. A song clip starts moving. A short video gets more views than usual. A live performance reel catches fire. A comment section wakes up. A stranger writes, “Where can I hear more?” Another one says, “Come to my city.” Somebody shares the post. Somebody else saves it. The artist sees the number climb and feels that little rush we all understand. The views are going up. The algorithm is smiling. For a few hours, it feels like the door finally cracked open.
Then the feed moves on.

Why the Fight for an Indie Music Career Has Changed
There was a time when the hardest part of building a music career was getting access. You needed access to a studio. You needed access to a producer. You needed access to a label. You needed access to radio. You needed access to a distributor, a publicist, a booking agent, a magazine, a record store, and somebody behind a desk who could either open the gate or slam it in your face.
That world was brutal. It kept a lot of great artists out. But at least the enemy was easy to see.

Making a Scene Presents - Stop Feeding the Algorithm: The Indie Artist Content Strategy That Brings Fans Home
For years, indie artists have been told that the answer to every career problem is to post more content. If the song is not getting heard, post more. If the show is not selling tickets, post more. If the album is coming out, post more. If the merch is sitting in boxes, post more. The advice always sounds simple on the surface, but it often leaves artists trapped in a cycle where they are constantly creating for platforms instead of building a real music business for themselves.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Stacy Mitchhart
Stacy Mitchhart’s musical journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, in a house where jazz guitar masters like Wes Montgomery and Johnny Smith were always spinning on the stereo. With that kind of soundtrack in the air, it was only natural that he gravitated toward the guitar. But it wasn’t just the notes that grabbed him early—it was the performance. As a kid, he saw Little Richard on television and couldn’t look away. Little Richard’s style, confidence, and larger-than-life showmanship opened Stacy’s eyes to a powerful idea: music isn’t only something you play—it’s something you deliver. That lesson became a lifelong part of Mitchhart’s identity, and today he’s known for a brand of showmanship that keeps audiences coming back night after night.

Sawtooth Witch was born out of restlessness and the open road. After years of crisscrossing the country with a string of bands, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Pat "Doc" Dougherty found himself chasing something he couldn't quite name — a sound that lived somewhere between the genres he'd spent a lifetime soaking in. He found the missing piece when he reconnected with old friend and collaborator Haley Fleming, whose fiddle playing carried the ghost of Appalachian hollers and the grit of a late-night juke joint in equal measure. Together, they started building something that didn't fit neatly into any box — and that was exactly the point.

Making a Scene Presents - Bus Routing 101: How to Mix Like a Pro Without Overcomplicating It
The Mix Is Not Just Sound. It Is Traffic Control.
Most independent artists start mixing with one simple goal: make every track sound better. So they open the session, click on the kick drum, add an EQ. Then they move to the snare, add a compressor. Then the lead vocal needs help, so they add more EQ, maybe a de-esser, maybe a little reverb. Then the guitars feel too loud. The drums feel too small. The background vocals are jumping out. The bass is fighting the kick. Before long, the session looks like somebody spilled cables inside the computer.

Making a Scene Presents - TikTok Is Still Music Discovery, But the Money Is Moving Behind Closed Doors
TikTok Is Not Your Fanbase. It Is a Discovery Tollbooth.
For the last few years, the music industry has sold artists a simple dream. Post the right clip on TikTok. Catch the algorithm at the right moment. Get a sound moving. Watch the streams roll in. Maybe a label calls. Maybe a playlist adds you. Maybe lightning hits.
That dream was not fake. TikTok really did change music discovery. A song could come from a bedroom, a garage, a tiny studio, or a laptop on a kitchen table and suddenly land in the ears of millions. That was powerful. For independent artists, it felt like a crack in the old wall. You no longer had to beg radio programmers, label scouts, or magazine editors to let you into the room. You could kick the door open with a 20-second clip.
But here is the part artists need to understand now. TikTok is still music discovery, but the money is moving behind closed doors.

Their music lives in that sweet spot where modern hard ’n’ heavy meets classic swagger, and they’ve earned a reputation for face-melting live shows that turn first-timers into repeat offenders.
In 2024, the band recorded their third album and dropped the single “Nothing To Lose,” a two-and-a-half-minute, no-filler banger paired with an epic video featuring some of the original stage lights once used to “cook” audiences on ABC TV (Australia)’s legendary Countdown.

Making a Scene Presents - Phase Issues Explained: Why Your Mix Sounds Thin
The Invisible Problem Hiding Inside Your Mix
There is a special kind of frustration that happens in a home studio. You record the part. You play it back. The performance is good. The tone sounds fine by itself. The mic was not cheap. The interface is working. The meters are healthy. Nothing is clipping. Nothing looks broken. Then you push the tracks together and the whole thing suddenly sounds smaller than it should.
The drums lose punch. The guitar sounds hollow. The vocal gets cloudy. The bass feels weak even though the waveform looks huge. You add EQ. You add compression. You turn things up. You widen the stereo image. You blame the room, the monitors, the plugin, the preamp, the guitar, the singer, and maybe the moon.
But sometimes the real problem is phase.

The Music Industry Does Not Hate AI. It Hates AI It Cannot Control.
Why indie artists should stop fearing the tools the major players are already using
The music industry has always been very good at one thing: warning artists about the future while quietly buying stock in it.
That is the part nobody says loud enough.
Every time a new technology shows up, the official story is usually fear. The industry tells artists that the new tool is dangerous, cheap, disrespectful, fake, or bad for music. Then, once the panic has done its job, the same industry finds a way to license it, own it, control it, monetize it, and place itself right back in the middle of the money flow.
We saw it with downloads. We saw it with streaming. We saw it with social media. We saw it with playlist culture. Now we are watching the same movie again with artificial intelligence.
The public message is simple: AI is bad for music.
The private strategy is more interesting: AI is a new revenue model, and the major players want to make sure they control the tollbooths before independent artists figure out how powerful these tools really are.

Making a Scene Presents - From Data to Story: Using AI to Turn Analytics Into Compelling Fan Narratives
Transform boring numbers into emotional storytelling that connects with fans
There is a funny thing about music data. It looks cold when it is sitting inside a dashboard. A city name. A stream count. A spike on a graph. A merch order. An email click. A replay on a video. None of that feels very human at first. It looks like math wearing a cheap suit. But behind every number is a person. Behind every stream is somebody who hit play while driving to work, cleaning the kitchen, walking through a breakup, closing down a bar, or trying to feel less alone at 2:00 in the morning. Behind every “top city” is a room full of potential fans. Behind every merch sale is somebody who wanted to carry a piece of the artist’s world into their own life.
That is where AI becomes useful. Not as a replacement for the artist. Not as some magic robot that “does marketing” while the artist becomes a content puppet. That is the nightmare version, and frankly, we have enough plastic nonsense floating around the internet already. The useful version of AI is much simpler and much more powerful. AI can help an artist look at boring analytics and ask, “What is the human story hiding inside this?” Then it can help turn that story into a post, an email, a video idea, a tour update, a merch campaign, a fan thank-you, or a bigger strategy that brings people closer to the artist.

There is a strange new player walking into the rehearsal room. It does not carry a guitar. It does not complain about the van.

It is artificial intelligence, and whether artists like it or not, it is already part of the modern music business.

Making a Scene Presents - Panning Strategies: Creating Width Without Losing Focus
Panning is one of the most powerful tools in mixing, but it is also one of the easiest to treat like an afterthought. A lot of indie artists open a mix, throw the vocal in the middle, push a guitar left, push another guitar right, maybe slide a hi-hat somewhere off to the side, and call it a stereo image. That is not really panning. That is decorating. Real panning is arrangement, storytelling, and space management. It decides where the listener’s attention goes. It decides whether a mix feels wide and exciting or blurry and disconnected. It can make a small home studio recording feel like a real record, not because it magically fixes bad tracks, but because it helps every part of the song find a job and a place to stand.

The Most Expensive Free Thing in Music
There is a word that has haunted musicians for decades. It shows up in emails from promoters, club owners, playlist curators, content creators, brands, festivals, podcasters, bloggers, and random people with ring lights who say things like, “This could be great exposure for you.”
That word is exposure.
Exposure is the unpaid intern of the music industry. It is always excited to be there, never has gas money, and somehow keeps promising it knows people.

Making a Scene Presents - Stop Sending Your Fans Back to YouTube: How Indie Artists Can Embed Token-Gated Video Inside Their Own Website
Your Website Is Not a Poster. It Is the Artist’s World.
For years, indie artist websites were treated like digital flyers. You had a homepage, a bio, some tour dates, a few press photos, a store link, and maybe a YouTube video dropped into the middle of the page. That was fine when the website’s only job was to prove you existed. But that is not enough anymore.
Today, an indie artist’s website should be built like a self-contained ecosystem. It should not be a dead end. It should be the place where fans listen, watch, join, buy, collect, comment, support, and come back. The artist’s website should feel less like a brochure and more like the artist’s own private venue, merch table, fan club, video room, record store, email hub, and community space all living under one roof.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Ben Reel
Ben Reel has always made albums that carry an undercurrent—something deeper than the surface of the songs. His twelfth studio release, Spirit’s Not Broken, continues that tradition with a record that speaks directly to the moment we’re living in. In a world shaped by conflict, climate anxiety, and constant noise, it’s easy to feel powerless. This album pushes back against that feeling with a simple, timeless message: love, empathy, and human connection still matter—and they still have power.

Making a Scene Presents - Automation: The Missing Piece in Most Indie Mixes
Why the Mix Does Not Come Alive Until It Starts Moving
A lot of indie mixes do not fail because the artist used the wrong microphone, the wrong preamp, the wrong compressor, or the wrong $29 plugin they bought during a midnight sale while questioning every life choice that led them into home recording. Most indie mixes fail for a simpler reason. They sit still.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with GB Leighton
GB Leighton is the kind of artist the music industry talks about but rarely knows how to manufacture: a relentless road warrior, a natural frontman, and a songwriter who can make a room full of strangers feel like a community by the second chorus.

independent musicians must shift their focus from accumulating social media followers to cultivating a direct ownership economy. The author contends that high visibility on digital platforms is often a vanity metric that fails to translate into financial stability because artists do not own their fan data. To achieve true sustainability, creators should treat social media as a preliminary funnel designed to move audiences toward owned channels like email lists, SMS, and personal websites. By prioritizing direct-to-fan relationships over algorithmic reach, artists can transform passive listeners into a reliable customer base. Ultimately, the source advocates for a structural business shift where participation and participation-tracking tools, such as fan passports, replace the pursuit of viral fame.
http://www.makingascene.org
a strategic manual for independent musicians to reclaim control over their audience relationships by moving away from platform-dependent social media. It argues that artists should build owned community forums using tools like WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress to escape restrictive algorithms and data silos. By establishing a central "digital house," creators can integrate direct-to-fan commerce, email newsletters, and membership tiers into a unified ecosystem. The guide provides practical steps for setting up these social layers, emphasizing the importance of data ownership and authentic fan engagement. Ultimately, it frames self-hosted infrastructure as the key to moving beyond viral trends and building a sustainable, middle-class music career.
http://www.makingascene.org
Most independent musicians are stuck in a cycle that feels like it never ends. They release a song, promote it, play a show, post on social media, sell a few shirts, send a few emails, and then start all over again from zero. Every release feels like a brand-new mountain to climb. Every show feels like a separate event. Every post feels like it disappears in a few hours.
That is not because indie artists are lazy. It is because most artists are working without a system.
A real music business should not be a pile of disconnected tasks. It should be a machine where every action makes the next action easier. Every show should grow the fanbase. Every fan interaction should create useful data. Every data point should help the artist make better decisions. Every better decision should lead to more direct revenue. Every dollar earned should help build the next show, the next release, the next merch drop, the next membership offer, and the next fan relationship.
That is the flywheel principle.

Making a Scene Brings you Gerry Casey's Interview with Ronan Gallagher
Ronan Gallagher is proof that it’s never too late to find your real voice. A true late starter, he didn’t learn to play guitar or sing until his mid-fifties. That was just over five years ago—and instead of easing into it, Ronan hit the ground running, making up for lost time with the drive of someone who knows exactly what he wants to say.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Turn Turn Turn
Turn Turn Turn is a Minnesota-based trio built around one irresistible idea: great songs sound even better when you can sing them in close harmony. Bonded by a shared love of 1960s and 1970s country, folk, and pop, the band began by exploring classic material together—and quickly grew into a fully original Americana project with its own bright, hook-filled identity.

Eleven Years of Making a Scene: Still Independent, Still Publishing, Still Building the Future
A Milestone Worth Making Noise About
On May 1, 2026, Making a Scene celebrates eleven years of continuous publication, and in the fast-moving world of independent music media, that is no small thing. Websites come and go. Blogs burn bright and disappear. Social platforms change the rules. Algorithms bury good work under noise. But Making a Scene has kept showing up, posting new content virtually every day and building one of the most active independent music archives on the web.
For eleven years, Making a Scene has stood with the independent music community. Not just the stars. Not just the artists with major backing. Not just the names already sitting on top of the industry machine. Making a Scene has focused on the working artists, the touring musicians, the songwriters, the bands, the producers, the engineers, the reviewers, the interviewers, the fans, and the people who keep real music alive long after the hype machine moves on to something else.

Making a Scene Presents - The Live Show Is Not Just a Night Out. It Is the Front Door to Your Whole Music Business.
For too long, indie artists have been taught to think of the live show as a single transaction.
A fan buys a ticket. The artist plays the set. Maybe somebody buys a shirt. Everybody goes home. The venue sweeps the floor, the bartender counts the drawer, the band loads out, and the whole night disappears into the fog of tired backs, ringing ears, and gas station coffee.
That is the old way. The new way is different.
The live show is not just a night out. It is not just a gig. It is not just a chance to play loud, sell a few shirts, and hope somebody remembers your name next week. The live show is the most powerful conversion point an independent artist has. It is the one place where attention, emotion, money, identity, and community all show up in the same room at the same time.
That is rare. That is valuable. That is not something you hand over to Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, Ticketmaster, or some rented platform that lets you borrow your own audience in exchange for feeding its machine.
A live show is where a casual listener becomes a real fan. It is where a name on a poster becomes a face, a voice, a laugh, a handshake, a story, a memory. It is where your music stops being content and becomes an experience. And if you build the right system around that experience, the show does not end when the last cymbal fades. It keeps working. It keeps earning. It keeps bringing people into your world.
That is the real game.

Making a Scene Presents - The Hidden Economics of Being an Indie Artist in 2026: A Survival Guide to Lower Costs, Increase Revenue, and Own Your Fans
For years, independent artists were sold a dream. The pitch was simple and powerful. You no longer needed a label. You no longer needed permission. You could record at home, upload your music worldwide, build an audience online, and create a real career on your own terms. Compared to the old days of expensive studio time, manufacturing costs, and gatekeepers controlling radio and retail, it sounded like freedom had finally arrived.
And in many ways, it did.
But what a lot of artists discovered after stepping into that freedom was something nobody talked about enough. Freedom came with overhead. The modern independent musician did not just inherit opportunity. They inherited the entire business.

Making a Scene Presents - Delay vs Reverb: When to Use Each (and Why Most People Overuse Reverb)
There is a sound you have heard a thousand times, even if you never knew what caused it. A singer enters on the first line of a chorus and suddenly feels larger than life. A snare drum explodes through the speakers and seems to live in its own perfect room. A guitar line trails into the horizon after the phrase ends, creating emotion long after the note is gone. Space is one of the secret weapons of recorded music, and two tools have shaped that space more than any others: delay and reverb.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Flutes and Low
Flutes & Low is the folk duo of Ben Pichler and Cambria Haen, two musicians who first met and began playing together in Duluth, Minnesota. From the start, their chemistry leaned toward atmosphere—songs built on close harmony, patient storytelling, and melodies that stay with you long after they end. Deeply shaped by the Midwest’s wide-open landscapes, cold seasons, and shoreline quiet, their music feels both intimate and expansive: pastoral, emotional, and grounded in place.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Tim Wagoner of The Fabulous Trutones
Comin’ Back Live finds The Fabulous TruTones doing what great live bands do best: locking into a groove and then refusing to stay in one lane. The album moves effortlessly from classic blues in the spirit of the Three Kings, to the sun-baked shimmer of mid-’70s Southern California roots-rock, to the rocking edge of old-school country—and back again. It’s blues at the center, but it’s also proof that blues can be a launchpad, not a box.

Making a Scene Presents - Canada Just Put Money Behind the People Who Build the Stage
FACTOR’s new live music investment is more than a press release. It is a reminder that if you want a real music middle class, you do not just fund songs. You fund the ecosystem that gets those songs in front of people.
There is a big difference between saying you support music and actually building a system that helps music survive.
Canada just gave us a very clear example of that difference. On April 21, 2026, FACTOR announced a $2 million investment in the live music sector through two new initiatives, the Promoter Program and the Festival Program. According to FACTOR, the goal is to strengthen what it called cultural sovereignty by sharing risk with Canadian-owned promoters and festivals that have a real track record of presenting Canadian artists and keeping diverse Canadian voices at the center of the live experience. FACTOR says the guidelines for both programs will go live on April 30, 2026, and applications are due by 5:00 p.m. ET on June 11, 2026.

Making a Scene Presents - Reverb and Depth: How to Place Sounds in a 3D Space
Flat Mixes Do Not Sound Cheap Because the Song Is Bad
A lot of indie artists think their mixes sound small because they do not have enough expensive gear, enough fancy plugins, or enough studio prestige. That is the lie the old gatekeeper system sold for years. The truth is rougher and more useful. Most flat mixes sound flat because everything is standing in the same spot. The vocal is too close. The snare is too close. The guitars are too close. The keys are too close. Nothing feels near because nothing feels far. Nothing has air around it because nothing has a believable world around it. That is where reverb stops being a decorative effect and starts becoming one of the most powerful tools in a modern mix. Mix depth is the front-to-back dimension that helps make a mix feel lifelike and three-dimensional, and it points out that this sense of dimension is one of the clearest differences between amateur and professional sounding mixes.

Making a Scene Presents - The American Music Fairness Act Could Finally Make Radio Pay — But Indie Artists May End Up Paying a Different Price
Terrestrial radio is no longer the artist-breaking machine it once was. That is exactly why this bill matters, and exactly why indie artists should be watching it closely.
The Tower That Once Ruled the Music Business Is Not What It Used to Be
For decades, radio was the closest thing the music business had to a national ignition switch. One spin in the right market could move records, change tour offers, wake up labels, and turn a local act into a real conversation. That old story still has power because it used to be true. But in 2026, terrestrial radio is no longer the center of gravity for discovery the way it once was. Edison Research reported that in Q4 2025, radio still held 61% of all ad-supported audio listening time in the U.S., which means it remains a huge medium. But that same broad strength now lives beside a very different discovery landscape, one shaped by streaming, social media, YouTube, and recommendation engines instead of one dominant gatekeeper.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Stacy Mitchhart
Stacy Mitchhart’s musical journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, in a house where jazz guitar masters like Wes Montgomery and Johnny Smith were always spinning on the stereo. With that kind of soundtrack in the air, it was only natural that he gravitated toward the guitar. But it wasn’t just the notes that grabbed him early—it was the performance. As a kid, he saw Little Richard on television and couldn’t look away. Little Richard’s style, confidence, and larger-than-life showmanship opened Stacy’s eyes to a powerful idea: music isn’t only something you play—it’s something you deliver. That lesson became a lifelong part of Mitchhart’s identity, and today he’s known for a brand of showmanship that keeps audiences coming back night after night.

Making a Scene Presents - Ticketmaster LiveNation Court Decision -When the Gatekeeper Finally Got Dragged Into Court
In May 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice walked into federal court and said out loud what fans, working artists, indie promoters, and venue operators had been saying for years: the live music business was not just frustrating, it was structurally broken. The government sued Live Nation and its ticketing arm Ticketmaster, alongside 30 state and district attorneys general, and asked for structural relief. That was not some polite regulatory slap. It was the government saying the company’s grip on live music had become so deep that fans were paying more, artists were getting fewer real opportunities, smaller promoters were getting squeezed, and venues were being pushed into fewer real choices. The DOJ said the goal was to restore competition, lower prices, and “open venue doors for working musicians and other performance artists.”

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Keith Forde of Linkwells
Linkwells are a four-piece indie-rock band from the scenic town of Malvern, quickly gaining attention for a sound that puts melody and classic songwriting front and center. Their music combines the anthemic lift of Britpop with a sharper modern indie edge, creating songs that feel built for singalongs without losing their bite. It’s a style that has earned comparisons to The Stone Roses, Oasis, The Verve, and Stereophonics—big hooks, driving guitars, and choruses that land with real purpose.

The Gated Community is a Minneapolis-based country and bluegrass band with a mission and a pulse. Formed in 2006 by South Asian-American Yale graduate, political activist, and University of Minnesota music theory professor Sumanth Gopinath, the band has been described as “Americana to fight fascism” (Adobe & Teardrops)—a line that captures both their sound and their purpose. They blend folk, bluegrass, and country traditions with a raw rock edge, pairing tight harmonies and roots instrumentation with lyrics that confront the world as it is, not as we wish it were.

Making a Scene Presents - Making Recorded Music a Product Again
There was a time when recorded music was the thing. The record was not the flyer. It was not the teaser. It was not the loss leader for a T-shirt, a tour, or a playlist slot. It was the product. Fans saved up for it, hunted for it, lined up for it, argued about it, and lived with it. The album sat on a shelf, in a car, in a stereo, in a stack by the bed. It had weight. It had ritual. It had value.
Now a lot of indie artists are stuck in a bad joke. They make the most expensive thing in their business, then hand it over to platforms built to train listeners that music should feel endless, cheap, and disposable. The song becomes background utility. The album becomes content. The recording becomes marketing for the real business, which lately means touring, merch, and trying not to drown. And yet the bigger joke is this: the public still pays for music when music feels like a real object, a real event, or a real piece of access. In the U.S., streaming made up 82% of recorded music revenue in 2025, but vinyl still passed the $1 billion mark. Globally, streaming drove most recorded music income in 2025, yet physical formats also grew, pushed by strong vinyl demand. That does not say fans refuse to buy music. It says fans will not pay much for the plainest possible version of it anymore.

Making a Scene Presents - Touring Used to Sell Records. Now Records Exist to Sell Touring. What Happens Next?
The old deal is dead
For a long time, the bargain in music was pretty clear. You made records so people would care. Then you hit the road and turned that attention into ticket sales, merch money, and a bigger audience. Before streaming ate the center out of recorded music, albums were not just art. They were products with real cash value. Touring was promotion, and the record was the thing being promoted.
Now that whole machine has flipped. In 2025, U.S. recorded music revenue hit a record $11.5 billion, with streaming making up 82% of the market, while global recorded music revenue reached $31.7 billion. On paper, that sounds like a healthy business. But those big numbers do not mean the average artist is healthy. They mostly mean the pipes are full. The question is who controls the pipes, who gets the margin, and who is left paying for the van, the hotel, the crew, the ads, and the gas.

Making a Scene Presents - Parallel Compression: Making Your Mix Punch Without Killing Dynamics
The Trick That Sounds Expensive Even When Your Studio Isn’t
There is a moment almost every home-recording artist runs into. You finish a mix. It sounds clean. It sounds balanced. Nothing is obviously broken. But when you play it next to a record that hits you in the chest, yours feels polite. The kick does not leap out. The vocal does not stay in your face. The song has emotion, but not enough muscle. So you reach for compression, push harder, and suddenly the life drains out of the track. The groove gets smaller. The singer sounds pinned to the wall. The whole thing is louder, but somehow less alive. Parallel compression is the move that solves that problem. It is one of those real studio tricks that sounds fancy, but it is built on a simple idea: keep your natural performance, then blend in a second, heavily compressed version underneath it. Done right, you get punch, thickness, density, and excitement without flattening the human feel out of the song. For indie artists, that matters because a mix that feels finished earns trust faster, holds attention longer, and gives your direct releases, live recordings, sync submissions, fan-club exclusives, and premium downloads a better shot at turning into actual money instead of just more content floating in the feed.

Making a Scene Presents - Content That Adapts: Using AI to Personalize Posts for Different Types of Fans
There is a quiet little lie baked into modern music marketing, and most artists have been trained to accept it. The lie is this: one post is supposed to do everything.
It is supposed to hype the hardcore fans, introduce the new people, move tickets in one city, sell merch everywhere else, wake up dead email subscribers, impress the algorithm, and somehow still sound human. Then when it does not work, the artist gets blamed. Maybe the hook was weak. Maybe the image was wrong. Maybe the timing was bad. Maybe you just need to post more.
No. The real problem is simpler than that. You are trying to talk to different people as if they are the same person.

Making a Scene Presents - The Suno-Warner Deal: When Big Music Stops Fighting AI and Starts Designing It
Something important just happened in the music business, and indie artists need to pay attention.
Warner Music Group and Suno announced a partnership built around licensed AI music. Under the deal, the companies will work on next-generation licensed models, Warner artists can opt in to AI experiences using their names, images, likenesses, voices, and compositions, and Suno will make major product changes in 2026, including phasing out its current models, requiring paid accounts for downloads, limiting downloads on paid tiers, and keeping unlimited downloads inside Suno Studio. As part of the same broader agreement, Suno also acquired Songkick from Warner.
That sounds like a product story. It sounds like a legal story. It sounds like one more AI headline in a year full of AI headlines. But for independent artists, it is really a power story. The Suno-Warner deal is one of the clearest signs yet that major music companies are moving from trying to fight generative AI from the outside to trying to shape it from the inside. Warner itself said the partnership is meant to forge a “blueprint for a next-generation licensed AI music platform.” Reuters also reported that Warner settled its infringement case with Suno so the company could move toward licensed models.

Making a Scene Presents - The Artist-Owned Ecosystem: Replacing the Label, Distributor, and Platform
The night the old deal stopped making sense
It usually happens after the show.
Not onstage. Not in the comments. Not when the playlist adds hit. It happens when the room is half empty, the drummer is packing hardware, somebody is folding shirts at the merch table, and the artist is looking at a phone full of “engagement” that does not pay tomorrow’s hotel bill. That is the moment the old music business starts to look less like a dream and more like a machine built to turn artist momentum into platform traffic, label leverage, and somebody else’s data.
For years, the industry sold one big fantasy. Get signed. Get distributed. Get promoted. Get placed in front of the audience. Then the money will come. But the modern version of that deal has a nasty twist. Even when artists do get attention, they often do not get ownership. The fan relationship lives on someone else’s platform. The audience data sits in someone else’s dashboard. The checkout happens inside someone else’s system. The artist becomes the fuel, while the infrastructure belongs to everybody else. That is not a career. That is a dependency. And dependency is not the same thing as growth.

Making a Scene Presents - AI-Driven Fan Journeys: Mapping Every Step From First Listen to Lifetime Fan
There is a quiet tragedy happening in the modern music business, and most independent artists have been taught to call it normal.
A stranger hears a song in a playlist. They like it. They tap through to a profile. Maybe they watch a clip. Maybe they save the track. Maybe they even tell a friend. Then the trail goes cold. The artist never learns who that person was, never learns what caught their ear, never learns what city they live in, never learns whether they wanted a vinyl copy, a ticket, a livestream pass, a membership, a behind-the-scenes demo, or just a reason to come back tomorrow. The fan showed up. The system shrugged. The moment passed.
That is the real leak in the independent music economy. It is not just low streaming payouts, though those are part of the problem. It is not just social media reach, though that is rented land and always has been. The bigger problem is that most artists still do not control the road between attention and income. They get discovery, but they do not own the journey. They get a listen, but they do not build a relationship. They get noise, but they do not get memory.
AI changes that if you use it the right way.

Compression in Context: Why Soloing Tracks Is Killing Your Mix
There is a little button in every DAW that has wrecked more home studio mixes than bad microphones, cheap headphones, and internet “preset culture” combined. It is the Solo button.
That sounds dramatic, but not by much. Every indie artist knows the move. You are deep in a mix. The vocal feels uneven. The bass feels wild. The snare is jumping out in ugly ways. So you solo the track, pull up a compressor, and start shaping. Suddenly the part sounds bigger, tighter, smoother, richer, louder, more “professional.” You un-solo it, hit play on the full mix, and somehow the whole song feels smaller. The vocal no longer connects. The bass lost its groove. The drums feel choked. The track you “fixed” in solo is now fighting the record instead of serving it.
That is the trap.

Making a Scene Presents - A Buyer’s Guide to Recording Interfaces
The Box That Decides Whether Your Studio Feels Fast or Feels Broken
There is a certain kind of gear mistake that musicians make all the time. They obsess over microphones, plugins, monitors, and shiny rack toys, then they treat the recording interface like a boring utility purchase. That is backward. Your interface is the center of the studio. It is the box that decides how your microphone gets into the computer, how your speakers get fed, how your headphones behave, how low your latency feels, how your outboard gear connects, and how easy it will be to grow from a simple home setup into a serious project studio. Pick the right one and the whole room feels smooth. Pick the wrong one and everything becomes friction.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with the Avery Set
The Avery Set began in the early 2000s in Frankenmuth, Michigan, growing out of a close friendship between Chris (lead singer) and Jake (drummer). What started as two friends making noise quickly turned into a real band with a shared sense of purpose—writing songs, chasing shows, and building a sound that felt honest and lived-in.
In 2006, the band released their debut record, Wishful Thinking, capturing the early energy of a group finding its voice. A year later, in 2007, The Avery Set relocated to Nashville, a move that pushed the band into new rooms, new influences, and a wider circle of musicians. With an expanded lineup, they released Returning to Steam in 2009, a record that marked a clear step forward in confidence and craft.

Making a Scene Presents - Subtractive EQ vs Additive EQ: The Secret to Clean Mixes
There is a reason so many home studio mixes sound busy, cloudy, and weirdly tired even when every track is “exciting” on its own. It is not always the mic. It is not always the room. It is not always that you need some expensive boutique plugin blessed by a guy on YouTube wearing a beanie in July. A lot of the time, the problem is simpler and a little more humbling. We boost before we listen. We decorate before we clean. We keep reaching for more when the track is begging for less. That is where subtractive EQ comes in, and it is why this one move can make a mix feel more expensive, more open, and more professional without adding a single new sound. Fender Studio Pro is built on the Studio One platform, and Fender’s current Studio Pro pages describe its Standard EQ as a parametric EQ with dynamic EQ and visual feedback, while the platform also includes broader mix tools like multiband dynamics and a modernized workflow in version 8. That makes it a very good place to learn restraint instead of hype.

Christina Crofts is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and slide guitarist—and a true veteran of Australia’s blues and rock scene. Known for her uncompromising bottleneck tone and a “big sound” that far exceeds her small frame, Crofts has spent years building a reputation as one of the country’s most commanding live performers and distinctive slide players.
Born in the coastal town of Coffs Harbour, Christina grew up in a multicultural household with a Norwegian immigrant father and an Australian mother. Her family later moved to Brisbane, where her passion for guitar took hold in her early teens and quickly became central to who she was. As her playing developed, she headed to Sydney, where she met guitarist Steve Crofts. What began as guitar lessons eventually became a lifelong musical partnership, and the two later married.

Making a Scene Presents - Creating a Touring Syndicate for Increased Leverage
For years, indie artists have been told the same tired story about touring in America. Build your streaming numbers. Pray for algorithm luck. Hope a promoter notices. Spend money on ads. Guess which city might work. Book the run. Drive the miles. Cross your fingers. Lose money in three towns, break even in two, and call the whole thing “building.” That story has made a lot of middlemen comfortable. It has not made a lot of artists stable.
The next version of touring is going to look different. It is going to be less like gambling and more like infrastructure. Less like each band wandering alone through the dark and more like a network of artists carrying a flashlight together. And the artists who get there first are going to stop acting like their fan data is just a mailing list and start treating it like a shared economic engine.
That is where the idea of a touring syndicate comes in.

You stared at a map, circled cities you had heard were “good markets,” texted a few friends, checked which clubs had an open Thursday, and called it strategy. Then came the long drive, the half-full room, the weak merch table, the gas bill, the post-show talk where everyone said, “It was still good exposure,” which is music-business language for “the math did not work.”
That old way is not brave. It is lazy. Or, more accurately, it is what artists were forced to do when the people with the good data kept it for themselves.
Now the wall is cracking. An indie artist can look at streaming geography, social engagement, ticket-click behavior, search interest, audience segments, and most important of all, owned fan data, before they ever email a promoter. AI can take that messy pile and help turn it into a map. Not a fantasy. Not a guarantee. A map. A risk map. A money map. A “where are my real people actually concentrated?” map.

Making a Scene Presents - Stop Sending Fans Back Into the Machine
There is a bad habit all over independent music right now. An artist works hard to get attention on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, or X. A new fan finally bites. They click. And what do they find? Another stack of links, another rented profile, another platform asking them to wander off and forget why they came in the first place. That is not a funnel. That is a leak. Pew’s latest U.S. social media data still shows huge reach on YouTube and Facebook, with Instagram and TikTok especially strong with younger adults, which is exactly why these platforms matter for discovery. But reach is not ownership, and attention is not the same thing as a relationship.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Jamie Williams and The Roots Collective
Jamie Williams & the Roots Collective are a roots-driven live band built for one thing: a great night out. Fronted by singer-songwriter Jamie Williams on vocals and rhythm guitar, the band also features Dave Milligan on lead guitar, Jake “The Dude” Milligan on bass, and James Bacon on drums. Together, they walk what they describe as an imaginary tightrope between Tom Petty and The Rolling Stones—hooky songs, swaggering grooves, and a rootsy bite that lands somewhere between country blues, rock, and Americana.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with the Badrock Blues Band
Shadows, the debut album from The Badrock Blues Band, is a record built on perseverance—three decades of hard-earned chemistry, a sudden global shutdown, and the heartbreaking loss of a bandmate who helped define their sound.
Formed in 1992 by Gerald “Mercy” Schuldenzucker (guitar, vocals), Siegfried Horvath (bass, vocals), and Franz Kollmann (guitar), Badrock spent more than 30 years shaping their own take on the meeting point between blues and rock. Over countless shows across Europe, they steadily refined a style that pulls from nearly every corner of the blues spectrum while staying connected to the roots of rock ’n’ roll. Their reputation grew the old-school way—through relentless live performance, loyal audiences, and a sound that kept getting sharper with time.

Making a Scene Presents - Your AI Twin: Building a Digital Version of Yourself That Markets While You Sleep
There used to be a simple rule in the music business. If you wanted more reach, you needed more people. A label. A manager. A publicist. A radio plugger. A street team. A content person. A marketing assistant. Maybe even somebody whose whole job was just following up on emails you forgot to answer.
That old system did not disappear because it got fair. It disappeared because it got too expensive, too centralized, and too slow for the average independent artist. The jobs are still there. The work still has to get done. The difference is that now the artist is usually the one doing all of it.
That is where the idea of an AI twin gets interesting.
Not because you need a robot version of yourself making fake handshakes and fake friendships. Not because fans want a plastic imitation of your soul. And definitely not because art should sound like software. The real reason is much simpler than that. A working indie artist needs scale. You need to answer more messages, write more posts, send better emails, follow up with more promoters, and keep your voice steady across a dozen channels, even when you are in a van, loading out at 1 a.m., or half asleep after a six-hour drive.

Making a Scene Presents - The Real Reason Streaming Pays So Little, And Why It Was Designed That Way
Streaming did not become unfair by accident. The dominant payout model was built to make giant catalogs easy to license, cheap to sell, and sticky for listeners. That helped platforms grow and helped major rights holders protect old power in a new format. It did not build a healthy middle class for working artists. The next fight is not just about a better royalty formula. It is about ownership, fan data, and turning streaming back into what it should be for independents: discovery, not destiny.
The music business loves a clean rescue story. Piracy nearly burned the whole thing down. Streaming rode in like a hero. Subscriptions brought the money back. Everybody got saved. End of movie.
Except that is not how it feels from the van, the home studio, the merch table, or the monthly distro report.
For a lot of independent artists, streaming feels like standing in the middle of a giant city, singing into a megaphone, and getting tipped in pocket lint. The audience is massive. The access is global. The numbers look big on the screen. But the money that reaches the artist often feels weirdly small, almost insultingly small. And because the platforms are wrapped in the language of “access,” “discovery,” and “democratization,” artists are often pushed to think the problem is them. Maybe they just need more streams. Maybe they need better playlisting. Maybe they need to crack the algorithm. Maybe they need to go viral.
That is the trap.

Making a Scene Presents - The Music Industry’s War on Ownership
Platforms want access. Artists need ownership.
There is a war on ownership in the music business, and most of it is happening in plain sight.
It is not being fought with lawsuits or angry speeches. It is being fought with product design. It is being fought with dashboards, autoplay, pre-save buttons, short-form feeds, and a thousand tiny choices that train artists to believe reach is enough. The message is always the same. Be everywhere. Post more. Feed the machine. Stay visible. Hope the platform keeps showing you to people.
That sounds like opportunity. A lot of the time, it is really dependency.

Making a Scene Presents - EQ-Based Gating: The Smart Way to Leave Space in a Mix Without Killing the Music
There is a point in almost every mix where the fight starts. The vocal wants the center. The guitars want width. The bass wants weight. The kick wants authority. The toms want to sound huge for three moments in the song and then politely disappear before they turn the whole bottom end into a muddy parking lot. This is the part where a lot of home studio mixers either over-EQ everything until the track sounds skinny, or they give up and let the arrangement stay crowded. EQ-based gating is the move that lives in between those two bad decisions.
And that is why it matters to indie artists.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dida Pelled
Dida Pelled walks into a room with the kind of cool confidence that makes people pay attention—and then she backs it up with the musicianship to keep them there. A jazz prodigy with a wide-open musical imagination, Pelled is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for her playful personality, laid-back charm, and fierce dedication to authenticity. Her sound moves easily across jazz, blues, and roots-driven songwriting, and her audience has grown around one simple truth: she’s the real thing—steady, intimate, and impossible to ignore once you’ve heard her.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Gina Coleman
Gina grew up in the South Bronx, New York, surrounded by rhythm, grit, and the kind of life experience that eventually turns into real blues. Her musical story began early. At five years old, her grandfather gifted her a piano and lessons, planting the first seeds of a lifelong relationship with music. In middle school, she joined the Latin drum corps “El Primer Grupo de Batuteras Cheerleaders y su Banda,” where she played drums and learned what it meant to drive a groove from the inside.

Making a Scene Presents - Layering Tracks Like a Pro: Building Big Sounds with Minimal Gear
There is a lie floating around home recording culture that has probably cost indie artists more good songs than bad microphones ever did. It says big sounds come from big budgets. Big rooms. Big mic lockers. Big consoles. Big plugin folders. Big racks of preamps you can barely afford and barely explain. It is the same old gatekeeper story in new clothes: your art is not ready until somebody with more money approves it.
That idea needs to die.
A big record is usually not about having more gear. It is about making better choices. It is about knowing when to double a part, when to leave space, when to stack a harmony, when to pan something wide, and when to keep it dead center so the song still punches like a fist. The truth is that a lot of the size people hear on pro records comes from arrangement and layering, not from luxury. And that is good news for indie artists, because arrangement is ownership. Layering is leverage. The better you can build a big, emotional, competitive master in your own room, the more value lives in your catalog instead of leaking out to somebody else’s studio bill. That matters for streaming, for sync, for licensing, for direct sales, for fan-funded releases, and for every other way artists are trying to build a real music industry middle class. Fender Studio Pro, the current Fender-branded evolution of the Studio One platform, is built for exactly this kind of fast, idea-first workflow, with tools like Channel and Arrangement Overviews, AI-powered Audio-to-Note conversion, Chord Assistant, updated samplers, Studio Verb, and built-in Fender guitar and bass plug-ins. Fender’s own documentation also identifies the current platform as Fender Studio Pro 8.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Geoff Newhall from Farmhand
Long Hollow Blues may be Farmhand’s debut album, but it doesn’t sound like a first step. From the first track, it feels like you’ve been dropped into the world of a band that’s been doing this for years—tight, confident, and completely sure of its voice. That sense of history comes from the players themselves: Farmhand is built on decades of collective experience, and you can hear it in every groove, every lyric, and every turn of the melody.
http://www.makingascene.org
There was a time when an independent musician could still pretend the old system might eventually work out. Maybe the right manager would show up. Maybe the algorithm would suddenly turn generous. Maybe a label would finally care. Maybe streaming would lead to touring money, and touring money would lead to merch money, and merch money would somehow turn into a stable life.
That fantasy is running out of gas.
The new era for independent musicians is not about waiting to be chosen. It is about building a career like a real business. It is about using AI to move faster, think smarter, and work like a bigger team. It is about using decentralized technology to own access, own data, own membership, and own the relationship with fans. That is the real shift. Not hype. Not jargon. Not shiny objects. Ownership.

Making a Scene Presents - The Indie Artist’s Field Guide to Booking the College Circuit
There is a certain kind of silence that only happens on the road on a Tuesday afternoon. The van is full of cables, hoodies, and half-finished gas station coffee. Friday and Saturday look decent. Sunday might work if the room is right. But the middle of the week is where a lot of tours quietly bleed out. That is the part nobody romanticizes. Gas does not care if your Friday show sold well. Hotels do not care that your last single made a playlist. A route becomes profitable when the dead spots stop being dead. That is where the college circuit starts to matter. Not as some shiny fantasy about “breaking into campuses,” but as a practical, artist-owned way to fill weekdays, earn guarantees, meet new fans, collect real fan data, and build relationships that can outlive one set in one room. That is the part of the live business too many indie artists still ignore.

Making a Scene Presents - Why Networking Still Runs the Music Business
There is a lie floating around the modern music business, and a lot of artists have swallowed it whole. The lie says your career is built on content. It says your future lives inside metrics. It says if you post enough clips, chase enough trends, and feed enough short-form platforms, the machine will reward you. Maybe you will get lucky. Maybe an algorithm will tap you on the shoulder. Maybe some stranger in a hoodie in a tech office will decide your song belongs in a playlist and your life will change.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Claire Lugar of the Minnesota Music Resistance!
Minnesota Music Resistance is a Minneapolis-area grassroots music activism collective built around a simple idea: local music scenes can do more than entertain, they can organize, raise money, and protect community. Through benefit shows and artist-led action, the group channels the energy of the Minnesota music community into support for people and organizations pushing back against authoritarianism and the harms tied to immigration enforcement. Their public messaging describes the mission as fighting authoritarianism through music and mutual support.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Boone Froggett of Otis
OTIS is a blues-based rock ’n’ roll band born out of Kentucky’s deep musical tradition. The Commonwealth is famous for producing more country stars per capita than anywhere in the U.S., but Kentucky’s musical roots run far wider than country alone—stretching from bluegrass and gospel to rock and rhythm and blues. OTIS pulls from that whole landscape, turning it into a sound that’s gritty, melodic, and built for the stage.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dan Leary of Institutional Green
Institutional Green is a St. Paul, Minnesota rock trio that turns sharp writing, lived-in musicianship, and Twin Cities grit into what the band itself calls a kind of “heartland indie rock hot dish.” The group features Dan Leary on vocals and bass, Kevin Henretta on guitar, and Billy Dankert on drums and vocals. Their debut full-length, Deep Pockets, arrived in April 2025 and introduced a band rooted in post-pandemic reflection, local history, and the stubborn spirit of the Minnesota music community. Public profiles and coverage describe the trio as part of the St. Paul scene, with songs that balance catchy hooks, social observation, and a strong sense of place.

Making a Scene Presents - Why Direct-to-Fan SMS Marketing Is Beating the Algorithm
Your followers are not your audience until you can reach them without asking a platform for permission.
There was a time when building a following on social media felt like building a community. You posted. Your fans saw it. They liked it, shared it, showed up, bought a shirt, streamed the new single, and maybe brought a friend to the next gig. It was never perfect, but it felt like the work and the reward were connected.
That deal is dead.
In 2026, the big feeds are no longer built mainly to help you reach the people who already chose you. They are built to keep users scrolling through an endless stream of AI-ranked recommendations, trend tests, cold discovery, and behavior-driven guesses. Meta says Facebook Feed Recommendations are selected, ranked, and delivered by AI, TikTok says its For You feed is built to help users discover new interests and creators, and Meta has expanded personalization of content and ads using interactions with its AI features. Meanwhile, organic reach keeps sliding into low single digits. Sprout Social says typical Instagram posts now reach roughly 3 to 4 percent of followers, and WordStream says Facebook page posts average about 2.6 percent organic reach. That means the audience you worked to earn can be standing right there and still not see what you made.
For independent artists, that is not just annoying. It is a business problem. If your next house concert date, vinyl drop, ticket presale, Patreon push, or direct merch offer depends on an algorithm deciding whether your own fans deserve to see it, then your business is sitting on rented land. And rented land is fine for discovery, but it is a terrible place to build a future.
That is why SMS is winning.

Stop Chasing Virality and Start Building a Sustainable Micro-Label Ecosystem Today
There is a scene happening in bedrooms, garages, basements, back rooms, and half-finished home studios all over America right now. An artist finishes a song, posts a clip, refreshes the numbers, waits for the spike, gets a little bump, and then starts over again. The song is real. The work is real. The hope is real. But the business model is still a slot machine. In 2026, the biggest platforms openly frame discovery as something you can campaign for inside their system, with tools like Spotify Discovery Mode, Marquee, and Showcase. At the same time, Spotify’s current royalty rules say tracks below 1,000 streams in the previous 12 months are not included in the recorded music royalty pool calculation. Streaming is enormous at the industry level, but the structure still rewards scale, leverage, and platform dependency more than artist ownership.

Making a Scene Presents - The Living Room Circuit How to Book House Concerts
Turn Them Into Touring Infrastructure
The van pulls off the highway just after dark. Not into a club alley. Not behind a theater. Not into the sad side lot of a bar that promised “great promotion” and forgot to mention the Tuesday trivia crowd. This time the GPS leads you into a quiet neighborhood. Porch lights glow. A dog barks once. Somebody opens the front door before you even knock.
Inside, the chairs are already set. There is a rug in the corner where you will play. A couple of lamps throw warm light over the room. Someone is slicing cheese in the kitchen. Someone else is carrying in folding chairs from next door. By the time the audience settles in, there are thirty people in the room and every one of them came to listen. Not to drink through your set. Not to shout at the TV over your quiet song. To listen.
That is the first shock of a good house concert. The second shock is the money.

Making a Scene Presents - Why Micro-Sync Licensing Should Be Part of Every Independent Songwriter’s Business Plan
There was a time when independent songwriters were told to build a career around a miracle.
Write the great song. Record the great track. Get it in the right room. Hope the right person hears it. Maybe a publisher. Maybe a supervisor. Maybe a label-connected gatekeeper who still pretends the industry runs on taste instead of leverage. Then, if the stars line up, maybe that song lands in a TV show, a commercial, a trailer, a game, or a film, and suddenly everybody acts like the system worked because one person got through the wall.
That story still gets told because it sounds romantic. It also keeps a lot of songwriters broke.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Eliza Neals
Eliza Neals is a Detroit-born blues-rock force, and on her 13th studio album, Thunder in the House, she leans fully into the elements that have always made her sound hit different: grit, soul, spirituality, and the unmistakable heartbeat of the city that raised her.
Growing up on Acacia Street on the outskirts of Detroit, Neals absorbed a wide “musical gumbo” from the start—shaped by the revolutionary sounds of the so-called “Paris of the Midwest,” and grounded in her indigenous Armenian heritage. That mix of cultures, church-and-street reality, and Detroit’s hard-earned swagger became the foundation of her voice as both an artist and songwriter. Armed with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Wayne State University and deeply influenced by her friendship with the late songwriting legend Barrett Strong (known for work with artists like Marvin Gaye and The Temptations), Neals developed the kind of musical discipline and emotional truth that can’t be faked.

Making a Scene Presents - Making Money Before the Release, Not After
There is a bad habit baked into the modern music business. An artist spends months writing songs, paying for recording, fixing mixes, shooting photos, cutting videos, building cover art, and lining up a release date. Then release day comes, the music goes live, everybody posts the same link at the same time, and the artist waits. They wait for streams. They wait for playlist adds. They wait for press. They wait for social media to care. They wait for money that may never really come. That is not a business model. That is a prayer circle with a distro account.

He’s the kind of artist who doesn’t just collect miles. He collects stories, and then he turns them into songs with wit, heart, and a sharp eye for the human condition.

The Moment You Stop Calling It “Just A Home Studio”
There’s a quiet moment that happens for a lot of U.S. indie artists. It usually hits when you finish a track at home that actually holds up in the car, on earbuds, and on a cheap Bluetooth speaker. Not “good for a bedroom.” Just good. You bounce the final mix, upload it, send it to a friend, and they say the one sentence that changes everything: “Who recorded this?” That’s the moment you realize the home studio isn’t only a creative space. It’s a production asset. It can make inventory. And inventory is what a micro-enterprise lives on.

The Van, the Laptop, and the Lie We Tell Ourselves
The van smells like reheated coffee, gaffer tape, and the kind of optimism that only survives because musicians are stubborn. The band is parked outside a rehearsal space they pay for by the hour, and instead of loading in, they’re huddled around a laptop like it’s a campfire. The screen is a crowdfunding draft page with reward tiers, shipping promises, and a stretch goal that reads like a prayer you’re trying to pass off as strategy.
Nobody says “begging,” but everybody feels it. They keep editing the same paragraph, trying to make it sound confident without sounding cold, grateful without sounding desperate. The band can play a room, write hooks that stick, and sell merch when the vibe is right, but asking for money this way always makes the music feel smaller.

Making a Scene Presents - The Playlist Era is Fading
Picture the modern indie grind for a second. You drop a single, you refresh your stats, and you squint at that tiny spike hoping it turns into a staircase. Maybe you’re watching Spotify for Artists and tracking what happened after you pitched, posted, begged, and boosted. Spotify will happily show you audience behavior, segments, and trends, and it even offers promo tools through things like Campaign Kit.
But here’s the part nobody wants to say in polite industry company. Even when playlists “hit,” they rarely hand you the one thing a working artist actually needs: a direct connection to the people who hit play. That’s the quiet truth sitting under all the hype. You can get a lot of listens and still have no leverage, because the relationship lives inside someone else’s walls.

He was raised in a world shaped by working-class struggle, Appalachian tradition, and the kind of hard-earned perspective that never really leaves you. At the same time, he came of age blasting punk bands like The Clash, X, and the Sex Pistols, absorbing their raw energy, rebellion, and refusal to play by the rules.

Making a Scene Presents - The Psychology of a Productive Home Studio
The home studio looks like a room, but it behaves like a brain. It remembers what you do in it. It trains you through tiny cues. It rewards you for finishing. It punishes you for drifting.

If you’re waiting for your local scene to “come back,” you might be waiting a long time.
That’s not because your town stopped caring about music. It’s because the pandemic didn’t just shut down venues. It broke habits.

Making a Scene Presents - The Weekend Build: How to Set Up an Owned-Fan Machine in 48 Hours
If you want Spotify to be the top of your funnel instead of the end of your funnel, you don’t start by chasing more streams. You start by building a place for listeners to land, a reason for them to stay, and a system that remembers them when they do.
This is the part the industry skips past because it’s not sexy. Infrastructure rarely is. But infrastructure is what turns a “pretty good” release into a career that compounds. It’s also what makes the Making a Scene philosophy real in practice: indie artists build a music industry middle class by owning the relationship, owning the data, and turning attention into direct revenue—over and over again.

Making a Scene Presents - Wingman (Mixed In Key) A Demo Accelerator
Wingman from Mixed In Key ($79) is built for the modern reality: a lot of great songwriters don’t play piano, don’t play bass, and don’t want to spend three hours hunting for the “right” chord under a vocal idea. Wingman lives inside your DAW as a plugin and listens to the audio you feed it, then suggests chords and basslines that fit what it hears. It also includes AI stem separation and audio-to-MIDI tools that help you pull musical structure out of real-world recordings and turn it into something you can arrange. The headline is simple: it’s an AI idea engine that helps you move from a spark to a usable demo faster, without needing to be a multi-instrumentalist.

There’s a specific kind of heartbreak that only home studio people understand. You finish a mix at 1:30 a.m., tired but proud, because in your room it finally sounds like a record. The vocal is sitting right where you wanted it. The drums feel tight. The chorus lifts. You do that little head nod like, “Okay… I’m getting good at this.”

Making a Scene Presents - Streaming Growth is Slowing And That’s Good News for Indie Artists.
For the past ten-plus years, the music industry has sold indie artists one simple dream. Get your music on streaming. Get on playlists. Get the numbers up. Then, somehow, the money will follow. A lot of artists found out the hard way that this dream has a catch. Streaming is real. Streaming is powerful. Streaming can introduce you to new listeners all over the world. But streaming, by itself, rarely builds a stable living.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Jamiah Denzel Rogers
Deacon Denzel and Dirty Church is the kind of band that doesn’t just play a set — they build a room, light it up, and then invite everybody inside. Rooted in the sweat-and-soul tradition of rock, blues, funk, and gospel, their sound feels like a late-night revival meeting colliding with a barroom jam: gritty, joyful, and impossible to fake.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dana Maragos
Dana Maragos is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in storytelling, tradition, and a lifelong relationship with song. Her journey began early, when her grandmother bought her a $25 guitar in Chicago’s Old Town at just six years old. Growing up on the city’s South Side, Dana learned her first chords from a teenage neighbor, singing along to the songs of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Eric Andersen. Those early influences planted the seeds for a songwriting voice built on honesty, melody, and quiet emotional strength.

Making a Scene Presents - Why Streams Don’t Build Careers (And What Actually Does)
For a long time, streaming has felt like the finish line.

Making a Scene Presents - How AI Can Turn Your Fans Into a Street Team (Without Burning You Out)
For decades, street teams were built on chaos. Flyers stuffed into backpacks. Group texts that started strong and then quietly died. Friends-of-friends who swore they would help spread the word and then vanished the moment real life showed up. It was almost always unpaid labor, held together by enthusiasm, favors, and blind hope. Labels leaned on this model when they were small and scrappy. Indie artists copied it when they had no other options. And most of the time, it fell apart for the same reason every time: nobody had the time, energy, or systems to keep it running.

Making a Scene Presents - Tracking vs Mixing: Two Spaces That Should Never Fight Each Other

Home recording has never been more accessible. You can buy a solid microphone, a capable interface, a powerful DAW, and professional-grade plugins without leaving your house.

Some musicians collect awards. A rare few become so closely associated with excellence that an award ends up bearing their name. Terry Robb is one of those rare artists.
Born in Vancouver and now based in Portland, Terry Robb is widely regarded as one of the finest acoustic blues guitarists on the international stage. His mastery of fingerstyle guitar is so respected that after winning the Muddy Award for Best Acoustic Guitar multiple times, the Cascade Blues Association permanently named the honor after him. It is a distinction that speaks not only to his technical brilliance, but to his lasting influence on the blues community.

Making a Scene Presents - Tonalic by Celemony: Intelligent Loops That Actually Listen to Your Music
There are two kinds of tools in modern music production. The first kind makes noise faster. The second kind understands music.
Most loop tools fall into the first category. They give you sound, but not context. You drag something in, hope it fits, and then either force your song to work around the loop or spend time chopping it up so it doesn’t feel like a copy-and-paste job. That process can kill momentum fast, especially if you are an independent artist juggling songwriting, production, recording, and release schedules on your own.

Making a Scene Presents - Record Labels Aren’t Evil—They’re Just Optional Now
For most of modern music history, record labels were not just powerful. They were necessary. If you wanted to record, distribute, promote, or even be taken seriously, you needed a label. That reality shaped everything artists were taught to believe about success. Get signed. Give up control. Hope for the best. But here is the truth nobody in the industry likes to say out loud anymore. Record labels did not suddenly become bad. They simply stopped being mandatory.

Making a Scene Presents - Fixing Weak Performances Without Re-Recording: Ethical AI Editing
There is a quiet fear that sits in the back of a lot of recording sessions. It shows up right after the take feels emotionally right, but technically messy. The singer rushed a line. The guitar player dug in too hard on the chorus. The drummer pushed the fill just enough to make the groove wobble. Everyone in the room knows the truth: the performance means something, but it is not quite holding together.
http://www.makingascene.org
There is a quiet problem ruining a lot of good music before it ever has a chance to connect with listeners. It is not bad songwriting. It is not cheap microphones. It is not even weak mixes. It is loudness. More specifically, it is the guessing game around loudness that happens in home studios every single day.

Making a Scene Presents - What Actually Matters When Building a Home Recording Studio
A no-BS guide for indie artists who want results, not gear lust
Let’s be honest. Most home recording studios fail long before the first note is ever recorded. Not because the artist lacks talent. Not because the gear is cheap or outdated. They fail because the studio was built around shopping instead of decision-making. Money gets spent before the purpose is clear, and gear piles up without a plan for how it will actually be used.

Making a Scene Presents - The DAO Label Model: When Artists and Fans Run the Business
For decades, the record label model has followed the same harsh pattern. A small group at the top controls the money, makes the decisions, and sets the direction for everyone else. These decisions often happen behind closed doors, far away from the artists and fans who actually create the value. Artists write the songs, record the music, and build the culture, yet they are usually the last people with real control over what happens to their own work.

Why Your Fan Data Is Worth More Than Your Music

For decades, Fender has been the company most musicians connect with guitars, amps, and the idea of owning your sound from the very first note you play.

With the launch of Fender Studio Pro 8, Fender is no longer stopping at the instrument. It is stepping fully into the recording studio and placing its name at the center of the modern music workflow.

Making a Scene Presents - The Home Studio Is Not a Shortcut, It’s a Strategy
For a long time, the home studio has been talked about like a backup plan. Something you use only because you cannot afford the “real thing.” A temporary setup you tolerate until a label calls, or until you can scrape together enough money to book time in a flashy room with a massive console and someone else running the session. That idea is deeply baked into music culture, and it is one of the quiet reasons so many independent artists feel stuck. It frames the home studio as a sign you have not “made it yet,” instead of recognizing it for what it actually is.

Making a Scene Presents - AI Chatbots for Musicians: 24/7 Fan Engagement Without Losing the Human Touch
There’s a quiet lie baked into the modern music business. It tells you that if you want real fans, you have to be online nonstop. You have to reply right away. You have to post every day. You have to treat the algorithm like your boss, ready to jump the second it whistles. And if you don’t keep up, the lie says you’ll vanish.
That mindset burns out good artists every single day. Not because they’re weak, but because the system is built to steal your time. It turns your creative life into a never-ending shift on someone else’s platform.

You want them to hold up when played next to commercial releases. But at the same time, you don’t want every session to turn into a deep dive into technical theory. You didn’t start making music so you could spend hours second-guessing EQ curves and compressor settings. You want control, not confusion. You want support, not restrictions.

Why an Indie Artist Needs Two Additional Companies, Not a Dream and a Prayer
Let’s start by being honest, because this is where most music advice goes soft. If you are an independent artist releasing music without a record company or a publishing company, you are not actually “free.” You are exposed. You may feel creative freedom because no one is telling you what to write or record, but from a business point of view, your music is drifting with no structure holding it in place. There is no clear owner on paper. There is no system collecting everything you are owed. There is no container protecting your work long-term. That is how artists quietly lose money, slowly give up control, and eventually lose confidence in their own future.

Why Tracking Headphones Matter More Than Most People Think
Tracking is where the music actually gets captured.

Mixing can polish things later, but tracking is where the foundation is poured. If you can’t hear clearly while tracking, everything that comes after gets harder.

How Indie Artists Can Host Their Entire Catalog, Serve Every Kind of Fan, and Build a Real Legacy
For decades, independent artists were handed advice that sounded helpful but quietly worked against them. Upload your music to platforms. Share a link. Trust the system to take care of the rest. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. In practice, it put your entire career inside systems you never controlled. Dropbox links expire or get buried. SoundCloud accounts get capped, throttled, or flagged. Platforms change pricing, remove features, rewrite terms, or simply decide your music no longer fits their priorities. Meanwhile, your catalog, which might represent twenty or thirty years of creative work, ends up scattered across services that can disappear, lock you out, or change the rules overnight.

SOHO DUKES won’t admit it, but they’re having a very good time.
The band began in an unlikely way, not in a rehearsal room, but as a nineteenth-century–style drinking club roaming the pubs of London’s West End. On one of those legendary crawls, Bomber on bass and Johnny Barracuda on vocals crossed paths with Col “The Duke” Foster on rhythm guitar and Age Blackwell on drums. As the nights grew longer and the beer got more expensive, two more essential characters joined the group, Si Leach on lead guitar and the mysterious Swerve on keyboards. At that point, the cost of keeping the “club” alive became unsustainable, so they did the only sensible thing. Col picked up a guitar, and the band was born.

Recording Vocals at Home: From Living Room to Radio-Ready
Recording vocals at home used to feel like settling. You’d stand in a bedroom or living room, sing into a mic, and then hope the computer could “fix it” later. That old approach is done. These days, an indie singer with a normal room, a few smart choices, and good habits can record vocals that sit right next to commercial releases without sounding out of place. Not because home gear is some kind of magic cheat code, but because the real process of making great vocal recordings is finally available to everyone.

For most independent musicians, the music video has always been the most expensive piece of the puzzle.

AI video changes that system, not by replacing creativity, but by breaking the video down into its smallest, most manageable parts.

The Lie We Were All Sold
From the very beginning, most musicians are taught the same story, whether anyone ever says it out loud or not. If you work hard enough, sacrifice enough, and stick it out long enough, someone with power will eventually notice you. A label. A manager. A gatekeeper of some kind.

Ticketmaster-style gatekeepers sit in the middle of everything, stacking fees on fees, blocking real fan access, and letting scalpers scoop up seats before your fans even know the show is on sale.
The result is simple. You work. They eat.

Making a Scene Presents - How to Use AI Art to Build a Visual Brand Fans Remember
How indie artists can use Midjourney, Ideogram, and Leonardo.ai to create a powerful, consistent visual world
When people talk about branding in the music industry, it usually sounds like something only major labels can afford. Big agencies. Big budgets. Big teams deciding what your album art should look like or what colors fit your vibe. But that world is dead. Indie artists now have something better than a room full of marketing people. You have AI art tools that let you build your own visual universe with nothing but your imagination and a prompt.

Making a Scene Presents - The American Music Fairness Act: What It Really Means for Indie Artists in a World Where Radio Isn’t King Anymore
For years the music business has danced around the same old question. Who gets paid when radio spins a song? If you think the artist gets a piece of that pie, you’re giving the system more credit than it deserves. The truth is, in the United States, the performer and the owner of the recording still earn nothing from AM/FM radio airplay. That weird loophole has survived almost a century. Now the American Music Fairness Act wants to close it, and the fight around it is getting louder every day.

Making a Scene Presents - The Secret Power of Sidechains: How They Shape Modern Mixes
If you’ve ever looked at a compressor or a gate and wondered what the little “Sidechain” button does, you’re not alone. Most beginners skip right past it because it looks like something made for scientists, not indie musicians working in a home studio. But the truth is simple. A sidechain is just a way to let one sound control what happens to another sound. That’s it. Once you understand that idea, you unlock one of the most powerful tools in the entire world of mixing.

Written for indie musicians who just want their tracks to sound right without fighting their gear
If you’ve ever tried to record vocals or guitar and felt like your timing was weird, or you couldn’t stay in the pocket no matter how hard you focused, you’ve already met the enemy. That enemy is latency. Latency is one of those home-studio problems that doesn’t care how talented you are.

You drop a song, you post about it once or twice, and the whole thing sinks into the feed like a stone. It feels unfair, but this is the world we’re in now. The truth is that the platforms don’t promote your release just because you’re talented. They promote you when you give them steady content that keeps people watching.

Making a Scene Presents - Touring 2035: Why Your Next Fanbase Will Come From a Wallet, Not a ZIP Code
The touring world you know is collapsing. That old-school strategy of drawing lines on a map, circling major cities, and hoping enough people show up to cover gas is fading fast. For decades, touring was built on guesswork and geography. But the next era of touring won’t be about cities at all. It will be shaped by something far more powerful and far more honest: blockchain wallets. These wallets hold tokens, smart tickets, digital credentials, and little pieces of fan loyalty that tell you exactly where your true community lives long before you ever pack a van. The touring map of 2035 will be drawn by clusters of fans who have already proven they care, not by the ZIP codes a promoter says might be “good markets.”

How Indie Artists Can Use DAOs, Fan-Powered Ticketing, and Community Spaces to Build Tours Without Gatekeepers
The music industry likes to pretend that touring is some kind of secret science only insiders understand. Booking agents act like they hold magic keys. Venues act like they own every path to a stage. Promoters act like they decide who deserves to play. But if you talk to indie artists long enough, you learn the truth. The system isn’t complicated. It’s controlled.

The New Secret Weapon for Indie Artists Mixing at Home
Mixing your music at home shouldn’t feel like guesswork. But most indie artists know the feeling. You sit in front of your speakers, you start turning knobs, and you hope for the best. Some days everything sounds muddy. Other days your vocals feel harsh and thin. Maybe your kick drum disappears on phone speakers. Maybe you’re scared to even compare your mix to a real release because you don’t want to hear how far off it is.

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the studio, and it has nothing to do with new mics or fancy compressors. It’s about something deeper.

The music industry has a weird problem that nobody outside the business talks about. It’s not streaming payouts. It’s not labels taking too much money. It’s something way more basic, almost embarrassing when you think about it. The whole industry still runs on broken metadata. Metadata is the simple information about a song like who wrote it, who produced it, who played on it, who owns the master, who owns the publishing, and what identifiers track those rights. Without it, the entire royalty system collapses. And right now, that system is held together with duct tape, Excel sheets, and outdated databases that can’t keep up with the global music economy.

The Importance of Building a Music Industry Middle Class
Why 1,000 True Fans, Smart Business Strategy, and New Tech Can Build a Real Career for Indie Artists
Most people look at the music industry and imagine two extremes. On one side, there are the massive superstars with private jets, giant stadiums, and million-dollar deals. On the other side, there are the struggling artists who play small gigs and try to scrape by. For decades, this has been the story the industry tells. But that story is broken. The truth is that the future of music depends on something the industry has ignored for far too long: a strong, healthy, empowered music industry middle class.

The truth is most indie artists never struggled because they lacked talent. They struggled because the marketing workload was insane and the industry expected you to do everything alone.

Making a Scene Presents - How to Use Web3 and the Decentralized Music Industry to Build a Sync Licensing Business
If you’ve been in music for a while, you already know the truth — streaming doesn’t pay the bills. The pennies per play model has pushed more and more indie musicians to look for other ways to earn. One of the most powerful options out there is sync licensing — getting your music placed in movies, TV shows, commercials, games, and digital content. But here’s where things get interesting: the rise of blockchain and Web3 technology now makes it possible for independent artists to build their own sync licensing businesses without the middlemen who have always taken the biggest cuts.
Let’s walk through what that actually looks like. We’ll start with what sync licensing really means, why the traditional system is so broken, and then dive into how Web3 and smart contracts can give you total control over your rights and royalties. By the end, you’ll understand exactly how to set up a decentralized sync licensing business that works for you, not for the labels.

Making a Scene Presents Rethinking Crowdfunding for the Indie Musician in a Decentralized Music Industry
Why rethink crowdfunding?
Let’s begin with a simple question: when you ask fans for money to make an album or go on tour, is that “donation” or “investment”? Traditional tools treat it like donation: you promise perks (a signed CD, a shout-out, backstage passes). But the fan gives you money up front, hoping you deliver. That’s okay, but it doesn’t change the relationship: you’re asking, “Will you support me?”
Web3 crowdfunding changes that. Instead of begging, you offer fans a stake in your project. They become partial owners (in a clearly defined way) of future revenue streams. They share upside with you. That is closer to how businesses raise investors. This flips the incentive: fans want your success, because they benefit when you succeed.

Making a Scene Presents - A Deep Dive Review of Sonible's Learn:Bundle
What is the Sonible learn:bundle?
First, what is this bundle anyway? Sonible’s learn:bundle is a set of five intelligent plug-ins meant to help with core mixing tasks. Those tasks are:
Equalization (EQ)
Compression
Reverb
Limiting
Unmasking (i.e. helping reduce frequency clashes between tracks)
Sonible describes them as “assistive AI plug-ins” that guide you while you mix. The idea is that instead of turning knobs blindly, you let the plug-ins analyze your audio and suggest where to cut, boost, compress, etc. Then you can accept, tweak, or override those suggestions.

Making a Scene Presents - AI-Generated Videos & Visuals: Turning Your Songs into Scroll-Stopping Content
For decades, video production has been one of the biggest hurdles for independent artists. Cameras, crews, editors, colorists, and motion-graphics specialists were luxuries reserved for labels with budgets to burn. For indie musicians, even a simple music video often meant calling in favors, borrowing gear, and learning to edit on the fly.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Miss Emily
Back in the 1990s, twelve-year-old Emily Fennell from Prince Edward County, Ontario was already turning heads at county fairs, winning one singing competition after another. While other contestants played it safe with songs like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” or “I Will Always Love You,” Emily stopped audiences in their tracks with K.D. Lang’s haunting version of Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray.” That bold choice — and the spellbinding performance that came with it — said almost everything about the artist she would become. She had a voice that demanded attention, a fearless approach to music, and an instinct to take creative risks.

Making a Scene Presents - AI in Metadata & File Prep: Smarter Exports for Distribution
What is metadata, and why should you care about it?
Imagine this: you write a song, record it, and then send it out into the world. But who “owns” that song? Who wrote it? Who should get paid when people listen? How will streaming services or radio stations know which song it is, among millions of others? That’s where metadata comes in.
Metadata is “data about data.” In music, metadata is all the information attached to a recording (or a track) that describes it: the song title, who the artist is, who wrote it, who owns it, when it was released, the track number on an album, and unique codes like an ISRC (International Standard Recording Code). Without good metadata, your track is like a book without a cover or title page—it’s hard to identify, harder to track, and easier to lose.

Making a Scene Presents - Reverb: The Secret Sauce of Space – History, Types, and How to Use It Like a Pro
When you listen to your favorite song, there’s something that makes the sound feel alive — it breathes, it moves, it fills the air. That magical sense of space comes from one of the oldest and most loved tools in audio engineering: reverb. Whether it’s the dreamy echo behind a vocal, the lush wash on a guitar solo, or the big, booming snare sound of the ’80s, reverb shapes the emotional depth of music more than most people realize.
But to really understand how to use it, you have to know where it came from — and how it evolved from the real world into digital code.

Making a Scene Presents - The Indie Artist’s Guide to Token Gating: How to Turn Fans into VIP Insiders
What is Token Gating (in simple terms)?
Let’s start with the basics. A “token” in this context is usually a digital asset on a blockchain — often an NFT (non-fungible token). Think of that token like a golden ticket. If someone holds that token, they get special privileges: access to a hidden chat, a private webpage, or a live stream. If they don’t hold the token, they can’t enter.
So token gating means “locking something behind a token.” Only people who own (or are granted) the token can enter.

Making a Scene - Audio Saturation - The What, Why and How to use it in your Mix!
Imagine you have a clean audio recording—say, a vocal track. Saturation is the process of gently overdriving that signal so that subtle distortion or harmonic content is added. The distortion is not harsh like a guitar’s heavy fuzz; it’s softer, more musical, more “warm feeling.” It gives extra harmonics (that is, extra tones above the original tone) and compresses peaks slightly. In early analog days, engineers would push tape machines, tube amplifiers, or transistor circuits beyond their “clean” range. The equipment would “clip” or distort a bit—but in a pleasing way. That effect is what we emulate now digitally.

Making a Scene Presents - AI in the Recording Studio: Your New Assistant and Teacher, Not Your Replacement
Recording music has never been more accessible. What once required a massive studio full of expensive gear can now be done in a spare bedroom with an affordable DAW, a good mic, and a decent computer. Programs like Studio One (https://www.presonus.com/studioone), Cubase (https://new.steinberg.net/cubase/), Logic Pro (https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/), and BandLab (https://www.bandlab.com/) give indie artists powerful tools for multitrack recording, editing, and mixing—often for a fraction of what a single day in a commercial studio used to cost. But there’s one thing you can’t buy: experience. That deep, intuitive sense of how to balance a mix, shape a vocal, or make a kick drum sit perfectly in the pocket comes from years of trial, error, and critical listening.

Inspired by the growing Americana and soul music movements, he launched a solo project with producer John “JP” Pittas (known for his work with Blues Leaf Records, among others). The result was My Roots Are Showing, released under the name Andy B.AND – meaning “Andy B and whoever he’s playing with.”

Making a Scene - AI for Mixing Workflow: Automating First Passes
Mixing is the stage where songs finally come alive. It’s where all the pieces—vocals, drums, guitars, keys, bass, and more—start to feel like music instead of a pile of recordings. But let’s be honest: if you’re an indie artist or home studio musician, opening a session with twenty or thirty raw tracks can be intimidating. You hit play, and instead of hearing a band, you hear chaos. Vocals are too loud, the snare is exploding in your face, guitars are lost somewhere in the mud.

Introduction: Music Was Never Just Entertainment
Music isn’t background noise. It isn’t just party soundtracks, workout playlists, or marketing jingles. At its core, music has always been a weapon, a rallying cry, and a spark for social change. It’s the heartbeat of revolutions, the whisper of resistance, and the shout of freedom. From enslaved people encoding escape routes in spirituals, to punk rockers screaming against conformity, to hip-hop calling out police brutality, music has always spoken for the people when politicians and corporations wouldn’t.

If you’ve ever turned on your favorite playlist and noticed that one song blasts out of your speakers while another sounds much softer, you’ve experienced the problem of loudness. For decades, musicians, producers, and engineers have been caught up in what many people call the “loudness wars.” Everyone wanted their track to sound bigger, bolder, and more powerful than the one that came before it. But in the modern streaming world, that fight doesn’t really matter the way it used to. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Tidal have built systems to normalize, or even out, the volume of every track that gets uploaded.

Breaking Free: Decentralized Music for Indie Artists
"Breaking Free: Indie Musicians and Decentralization," explores how Web3 technology and decentralization are empowering independent musicians to escape the limitations of the traditional music industry. It highlights how major record labels and streaming platforms operate like restrictive gatekeepers, offering artists meager earnings and limited control. The source then introduces decentralized alternatives like blockchain, NFTs, and DAOs as revolutionary tools that allow artists to directly connect with fans, retain ownership, and earn more fairly. It cites real-world examples of artists like RAC and Daniel Allan thriving through these new models, and outlines various platforms such as Audius, Catalog, and Royal.io that facilitate this shift. Ultimately, the text argues that decentralization fosters genuine artist-fan loyalty and is reshaping the music industry into a more equitable, community-driven ecosystem.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview for indie artists looking to build a home recording studio on a budget, emphasizing that expensive equipment isn't necessary for professional-sounding music. It outlines essential gear categories, including audio interfaces, microphones, headphones, and digital audio workstations (DAWs), offering specific, affordable product recommendations in each. The source also highlights what equipment can be acquired later as skills and budgets expand, drawing inspiration from successful artists like Billie Eilish who produced Grammy-winning work with modest setups. Ultimately, it encourages artists to prioritize creativity and songwriting over accumulating excessive gear, suggesting a foundational setup can enable high-quality recordings from the start.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mary Strand
I never dreamed of being a writer as a kid. Nope. I had bigger plans—like joining the Harlem Globetrotters, skating with the Ice Follies, or becoming a U.S. Senator. While other little girls fantasized about being princesses, I wanted to be king.

Making a Scene Presents - What is a Music DAO? How to Start or Join One and Take Control of Your Career
If you’re an independent musician, chances are you’ve felt that nagging frustration: the music industry is built to keep power in the hands of labels, managers, and big platforms. They control the money, the exposure, and too often, the rights to your music. For decades, artists have been left fighting over scraps while corporations cash in.
But what if you didn’t have to play that game anymore? What if you could gather your fans and collaborators into a community where everyone contributes, everyone benefits, and the rules are clear from day one? That’s the promise of a Music DAO.
Don’t worry if the word sounds like alphabet soup. By the end of this article, you’ll not only know what a Music DAO is—you’ll also know how to join one, how to start one, and most importantly, how it can completely change the way you run your career.

Making a Scene - How AI Can Build Your Music Marketing Plan in Minutes
Being an indie musician today means wearing a lot of hats. You’re not just the songwriter and performer—you’re also the marketer, designer, and promoter. In the old days, record labels had entire departments handling those jobs. Now it often falls on your shoulders, and that can feel overwhelming. Luckily, AI is stepping in to give indie artists a serious advantage.
Artificial Intelligence is like a tireless digital assistant. It can write ad copy, design social posts, schedule campaigns, and even study your fans’ listening habits. What makes it so powerful is not that it replaces you, but that it speeds up the process. Instead of spending days or weeks trying to figure out your marketing plan, AI can give you a working blueprint in minutes—something you can adjust and personalize with your own story and voice.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Yates McKendree
Producer Kevin McKendree puts it best: “Because of Yates’s lifelong dedication to blues and roots music, he’s developed a direct line from his soul to whatever instrument he picks up. When he sings and plays, you don’t just hear it—you feel it. On these recordings, you’ll hear him on guitar, drums, bass, upright bass, and organ. Beyond all that talent, he’s my son, and the joy of my life is making music with him. The musicians on this album are also our closest friends. We hope you feel that love in every note.”

Making a Scene - AI in Mixing – The Rise of Smart Mix Assistants
Mixing music has always been a blend of science, art, and gut feeling. For indie musicians working on tight budgets without access to high-end studios or pro engineers, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. How do you know where to set your EQ? Should the vocals sit louder, or should the drums punch harder?
This is where artificial intelligence is starting to make a huge difference. AI-powered mixing assistants like iZotope Neutron, Waves Clarity Vx, and even tools inside DAWs like Logic Pro’s Smart EQ are changing the way artists approach mixing. These programs can “listen” to your track, analyze it in real time, and then suggest fader levels, panning, EQ adjustments, or even compression settings to make everything clearer.
Think of it like having a second set of ears in the room—ears that never get tired.

Making a Scene - AI for Merch & Fan Product Design: Turning Ideas into Unique Fan Experiences
Merch has always been one of the most powerful tools indie artists have. Not only does it bring in money, but it also builds identity. A shirt, a vinyl sleeve, or even a sticker isn’t just an object—it’s a way for fans to carry your music into the world. The problem for many artists has always been cost. Professional designers can be expensive, and trying to do it yourself often feels limited.
That’s where artificial intelligence comes in. Generative AI tools like Midjourney, Ideogram, and Stable Diffusion aren’t here to take creativity away from artists. They’re here to amplify it. Instead of thinking of AI as a replacement for human imagination, think of it as a creative partner that can unlock ideas you never would have thought possible.

http://www.makingascene.org
If you’ve ever recorded a song at home and then compared it to something on Spotify, you’ve probably asked yourself: Why doesn’t my track sound as big, clear, or balanced as theirs? You might have a great performance, good songwriting, and even solid mixing, but something still feels off.
That “something” often comes down to EQ—short for equalization. EQ controls how loud or quiet different parts of the frequency spectrum are. Frequencies are just the pitches of sound, from the deep thump of a kick drum to the shimmering brightness of cymbals. Professional mixes get their power because every part of that frequency spectrum is carefully balanced. Nothing is too muddy, nothing is painfully harsh, and the whole mix feels smooth and polished.
The challenge is that achieving that kind of balance usually takes years of experience and a room full of expensive gear. That’s why indie artists often struggle to match the sound quality of big-budget records. But here’s the good news: AI-powered EQ matching tools are changing the game.
http://www.makingascene.org
The music industry has always been tough on independent artists. You spend hours in the studio, pouring your energy and creativity into your songs, only to find that the money side of things feels like an endless maze. Streaming platforms pay very little, royalty checks take months—or even years—to arrive, and by the time everyone in the chain has taken their cut, there’s often barely anything left for you.
http://www.makingascene.org
If you’re an independent musician in 2025, your online footprint is your career. Not your latest gig. Not your new single. Not even your merch table.
It’s how people find you, remember you, and decide whether to care about you. But here’s the problem: most indie artists are flying blind. They’re throwing songs into the void of Spotify, posting random updates on Instagram, and hoping something sticks. There’s no real strategy, no funnel, no way to see whether their marketing is actually working.
http://www.makingascene.org
If you’re an independent musician, you’ve probably heard this advice more than once: “Post more on social media!” And sure, it’s good advice. But here’s the problem—coming up with fresh, creative ideas every single day while also writing songs, booking gigs, recording music, and, you know, living your life can feel impossible. You want to keep your fans engaged, grow your audience, and show the world your music, but there are only so many hours in the day.

They weren’t polished—they were real. Original? Not yet. But earnest, loud, and hungry—the band’s live sets featured covers of the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Cream, Animals, and more, fueled by a DIY spirit that said, “we don’t care about rules—we rocked them anyhow”

Gypsy Pistoleros don’t just defy categorization — they annihilate it.

Raised in the Canadian Prairies, music was always around Owens growing up. Artists such as Elvis, Odetta, The Band, Mavis Staples, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan were formative in her teen years.

And even when Owens took a 15-year respite in order to raise a family, she never fully put a cap on her passion for music, volunteering as a music therapist, occasionally performing, and always continuing to write songs.

Pianist, Hammond organist and composer Anthony Geraci was born in New Haven, CT in 1954. His interest in playing piano began at age four when he told his parents “I want a piano!” Kind of an odd request when most kids want a new baseball glove or bicycle. His parents weren’t musical-not even a record player at their house- but they always supported his undeniable passion for music. They soon bought a Kimball Grand Piano that his mother paid $4 a week to own. Lessons at the Neighborhood School of Music, affiliated with Yale University, soon followed. At around the age of sixteen he befriended a fellow musician, Ed Cherry, at high school. They began listening to music together after school and one day Ed played a Jimmy Rogers recording, Chicago Bound, that literally changed his life. Ed went on to be Dizzy Gillespie’s guitarist for many years.

Mean Old Fireman, the musical brainchild of slide guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Ned Bollé, weaves ample doses of New Orleans grooves, southern rock and old school hard R&B onto a blues roots framework to create their own version of Americana. "Somewhere around age 11, I heard Derek and The Dominoes," Bollé explains, "and those first few notes Duane Allman plays on "Key To The Highway" galvanized me; I wanted to sound like that. That whetted my appetite, and then, like so many people do, I found my way back to the roots of it all - Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, those guys. The same thing happened with my love for New Orleans music, Robert Palmer led me to Lowell George, and that led me to the Meters, the Nevilles, Dr. John, and so on.”

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Anthony Geraci
Pianist, Hammond organist and composer Anthony Geraci was born in New Haven, CT in 1954. His interest in playing piano began at age four when he told his parents “I want a piano!” Kind of an odd request when most kids want a new baseball glove or bicycle. His parents weren’t musical-not even a record player at their house- but they always supported his undeniable passion for music. They soon bought a Kimball Grand Piano that his mother paid $4 a week to own. Lessons at the Neighborhood School of Music, affiliated with Yale University, soon followed. At around the age of sixteen he befriended a fellow musician, Ed Cherry, at high school. They began listening to music together after school and one day Ed played a Jimmy Rogers recording, Chicago Bound, that literally changed his life. Ed went on to be Dizzy Gillespie’s guitarist for many years.

Like some scarecrow prophet, vocalist Ezekiel Ox spits out his passionate diatribe with a wild-eyed maniacal zeal, fusing rapid-fire rhetoric and soaring melody, while guitarist Pete Williamson lays down the sort of riffage that'll have any punter’s fist unconsciously forming the horned salute. And throughout, the lock-steady drummer Zane Rosanoski deliver the kind of grooves you can feel in your gut.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Trapper Schoepp
“What’s most important to me is to be a link in the chain of folks singers before and after my time,” Trapper Schoepp says in light of his forthcoming album, Siren Songs. Recorded at Johnny Cash’s Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, TN, Trapper continues down the trail trod by his musical heroes. In 2019, the Milwaukee singer-songwriter published a long lost song with Bob Dylan called “On, Wisconsin” – making him the youngest musician to share a co-writing credit with the Nobel Prize laureate.

On their debut album, Your Move, King Me Blues dives headfirst into a vintage aesthetic on multiple fronts to create eight songs that blend a range of blues and blues-rock styles with a definitively modern accent; all executed with just enough precision to keep it solid, and just enough looseness to keep it fun. Longtime collaborators drummer/engineer Jamey Staub and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Anthony Roina began writing and recording what would evolve into King Me Blues at the height of the pandemic.

They exist on an imaginary tightrope stretching between Tom Petty & The Rolling Stones. Settled into the current super-tight line-up after many years and hundreds of shows the band is now on fire, playing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana at festivals, venues, clubs & pubs including a couple of rapturous nights at London's legendary 100 Club, their ethos is always to have fun and make sure the crowd does too.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kristian Montgomery of Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band
If this is the age of the outsider, Kristian Montgomery might be starting to fit in... but don't tell him that. Montgomery grew up poor, prefers to catch his own meals on the waters off Cape Cod and has always felt his music defies genre. A lack of belonging colors his worldview, and he wouldn't have it any other way. The battle between searching for common ground and accepting his otherness informs much of his songwriting. On his second pandemic release, Prince of Poverty (out 3/5), Montgomery and his winterkill band pursue an edgier sound than on last year's The Gravel Church, which was largely penned while he served out a prison sentence.

Spring of 2024 marks my 33rd year in the Biz with the release of my 13 project – Water This Dark. It has been a surprisingly fruitful stretch since my last release, The Beast Is Back (considering the COVID Pandemic and a dormant music industry.) The previous decade had been a baffling struggle. It started off brilliantly in 2010 with the F.A.R. charting Villain. But villainous energy fizzled by 2012. Personal & material resources became a frustrating puzzle until my life-partner/graphic designer (Katie) and Producer Tyler Fortier focused me into making Beast — the best work of my life… until now! Yeah, Water is even better. The first preview is out on Americana Highways:

I believe The Beatles had the perfect style of music to raise me as a kid, with their imaginative lyrics, inventive chords and unique sound structures. However, as I got older my personal philosophy evolved and my moral pendulum began changing, longing for new answers.

Comparing this band to the Golden era of AC/DC with the formidable vocals of one Ronald Bedford Scott at the helm is certainly pretty fair and fitting description. But this band can and does stand up on it's own two feet as arguably the tightest hardest rockn! band on the planet right now.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Cedar County Cobras
Cedar County Cobras play American roots and blues music from the last century. The music takes on an “old time” blues feel that would most likely be found in a juke-joint down a gravel road in rural Iowa. Tom Spielbauer is behind the boot-stompin blues sound produced by the duo and has over twenty years of playing blues and rock across Iowa and the Midwest. The authentic sound of his music comes from a career of pouring concrete and working construction. In 2005, Tom was diagnosed with advanced macular degeneration at a young age and declared legally blind. Following in the footsteps of blind blues musicians such as Blind Willie McTell & Alan Wilson, he eventually traded his concrete tools for a guitar and a foot drum to play the blues full time.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Sister Lucille
Hailing from Southwest Missouri and deeply inspired by the musical legacy of Memphis, Sister Lucille has turned the worlds of Blues, Roots and Soul on their collective head and created their own genre – Memphunk! The band’s musical genetics run wide and deep. From lead singer Kimberly Dill’s Opry debut at the Ryman Auditorium as a teenager, opening for the legendary Kitty Wells, to the band’s Beale Street debut in 2014, the Springfield, MO foursome breathes funk in to the Blues, stirs it with the soul of Gospel and tints it with an air of Country to forge a sound that’s distinctly American but universal in its appeal.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mark Joseph
American Soul is a fitting brand for Mark Joseph; since his 2017 album by that title, he has charted a relentless and soulful course through America, and Americana, from blues to country to psychedelic rock and everything in between. On his newest offering, “Palisade Peach,” Joseph’s fourth full-length album, he continues this journey, from his soul, straight to your heart. It is a “blues” album in the truest sense of the word, with familiar 12 bar strains that echo the march of American music from the rural southern US up the Mississippi, to cities like Minneapolis and Chicago where it found a wider urban audience; it is the blues that has given rise to “rhythm and blues,” to “soul” and to “rock and roll.” You find it all on “Palisade Peach.”

Touring steadily on ever-larger stages and at prestigious venues and opening for high-profile acts has been a major part of that growth. Responsibilities to his band and fans, working with a well-known producer, crafting songs with hit writers, and exposure to alternate genres and new artists have all played a part in the process. “I’m working to better myself and my music,” Alex says. “I’m not walking away from the core of me or the type of music I want to make. That will always be Country … ain’t nothin’ gonna change about that.”

Roberts enquired as to whether a band might be formed to support the songs, and The Customers were born.

The soulful Blues singer and multi-instrumentalist credits her musical gift to Gospel music like so many great soul singers before her. Tullie's musical journey began singing in church where her Daddy was a preacher and her Mom was a vocalist and musician . Tullie grew up near the Louisiana cotton fields and wetlands of the Blues, cutting her teeth in a type of church where you could hear soul-shaking music seeping through the walls before you entered the doors. Early on she began writing original material while also learning to play various instruments, she also assumed the role of choir director which led to recording and touring professionally, singing harmony and lead with Gospel groups.

For 25 years, and with no sign of slowing, violinist Chris Murphy has made a living by writing, performing and recording original music. For Murphy, the path forward is charted by looking backward, to the troubadours and minstrels of ages past. Forget the exaggerated reports of the music industry’s demise. It’s only the record industry, a relative blip in the history of putting tones in sequence, that’s suffering. Music, and the opportunity to make a life’s work out of it, well, that’s not going anywhere.

Originally from Western Pennsylvania – where he remains a fixture of the music scene – Tim grew up in a virtual "melting pot" of music. Having older brothers expose him to a wide array of styles, including jazz, blues, bluegrass and rock, Tim's appreciation for all music took root at an early age. During his formative years, this admiration grew into a deep love of the blues of Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Tim first began performing as a professional with improvisational rock 'n' roll bands – long before the "jam band" genre became as widespread and popular as it is today – playing psychedelic blues and, oftentimes, jamming with local players.

Making a Scene Brings you an Interview with a Pro - Gerry Roszak of Kondler and Associates Royalty Audit Teamin the music industry, the traditional revenue streams for musicians and songwriters have undergone a significant transformation. With the rise of digital music platforms and streaming services, the way in which artists earn money has changed dramatically.

Administrating these revenue streams can get daunting for the indie artist, in fact I would venture to say that most indie artists have monies sitting out there uncollected they are unaware of. Gerry Roszak worked for over 20 years at ASCAP helping musicians get the money that is owed to them, and now has created a new company with the accountant firm Kondler and Associates "Royalty Audit Team" (917-561-6009) to find and retrieve ALL the monies an artist has earned with their songs

Growing up in the St. Louis Irish working class neighborhood known as Dogtown, Liston camefrom a mu sical family. His mom Lucille sang on KMOX radio in the 30's, and his grandmother, who was from Reinze Mississippi, was a self-taught five string banjo player.

Her persuasive pipes slathered in honey and soaked in Texas-bred sass, keyboardist Teresa James and her band, the Rhythm Tramps, have long reigned as one of Los Angeles’ leading contemporary blues outfits, even though their uncommonly imaginative repertoire, much of it supplied by Terry Wilson, James’ husband, producer, and bassist, is by no means strictly limited to the 12-bar form.

Making a Scene Interviews the Scarlet GoodbyeThe Scarlet Goodbye, labelled “the most unlikely mash-up in Minnesota Music History”, is the creative combination of Daniel Murphy and Jeff Arundel.
Murphy, pivotal in the launch of both Soul Asylum and the super-group Golden Smog, had stepped away from the game in 2012, after 30 years of recording and touring.

Inspired by film's seamiest genre, and filtered through a blues-drenched lens, the trio brings TEN tales of bad luck, bad choices, revenge, and recrimination to life in cinematic audio form. Led by three-time DMA (Detroit Music Award) nominee Brian “Big B” Burleson, a singer/guitarist with over three decades of wear and tear under his belt, along with fellow Motor City music vets Mitch Sharpe on bass and Erin Pitman on drums, the band paints a hard-boiled sonic picture with just enough foreboding to warrant the occasional glance over your shoulder to make sure you haven't been followed. "This record finds its origins with my mostly useless college degree," Burleson notes somewhat sarcastically. "I majored in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts with a minor in Theater.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Anthony GeraciPianist, Hammond organist and composer Anthony Geraci was born in New Haven, Conn. in 1954. His interest in playing piano began at age four when he told his parents “I want a piano!” Kind of an odd request when most kids want a new baseball glove or bicycle. His parents weren’t musical-not even a record player at their house- but they always supported their son’s undeniable passion for music. They soon bought a Kimball Grand Piano that his mother paid 4 dollars a week to own. Lessons at the Neighborhood School of Music which was affiliated with Yale University soon followed. At around the age of sixteen he befriended a fellow musician, Ed Cherry at high school. They soon began listening to music together after school and one day Ed played a Jimmy Rogers recording, Chicago Bound that literally changed his life.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Leland!San Francisco native singer/songwriter Leland Ettinger inhabits the hallucinatory LA seen by transplants like Canadians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell or Sacramento’s Joan Didion (from whom Leland & the Silver Wells derives its name). It is a world where Raymond Chandler’s murderers and victims are Didion’s dreamers of the golden dream. It is a world where the narrative has lost its thread, and the center cannot hold.

Mr. Hart was born in Oakland CA in 1963 to a family of post WWII Mississippi transplants. After a couple false starts, he began to play the guitar, in earnest, in 1977.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Lew JettonLew Jetton learned The Blues the old fashioned way, in the cotton fields, while growing up in the 60s and 70s between Trenton and Dyersburg, Tennessee. Along the way, he had two of the best mentors one could have: In the 80s, the legendary Carl Perkins, and in the 90s, the one and only Chicago Blues Legend, Snooky Pryor.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Michael RubinAt 15, I worked as a camp counselor. My boss, Eric Guthertz, had a harp he let me borrow. Instead of looking at it for a minute, I went to a corner and jammed for a half an hour. 6 months later I was with a friend, Robert Schmidt, at a bookstore. There was Jon Gindicks' Country and Blues Harmonica for the Musically Hopeless, a book that came with a tape and a harp for $14. My friend said, "There's something flaky you would do." I had the money, which at 15 years old was a minor miracle. "You'll never get anywhere with that," he said. The moment I played, I knew it was my thing. I was gigging a year later.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Jeff Massey of The Steepwater BandYou should already know these songs. If the old saying about talent equaling success were true, then The Steepwater Band would already be a household name, rubbing shoulders with Aerosmith, Bad Company and other like-minded travelers in our collective Rock 'n Roll Fantasy. But that's not how things always work, and this band knows it and still leans into it, smiling, with everything in them, not for brass rings and marquees, but because they must! For them, the music life is a calling and not some stupid costume one puts on to shake loose gold, fame, and groupies. In a land of caricatures, it's striking to come face-to-face with the real thing.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Cheryl CawoodCheryl Cawood invites listeners on a journey to a bygone era, back to her homeplace. She tells the true tale of a mountain feud involving her great great grandfather on land that was indigenous to the Cherokee. The Cawood settlement of the 1700’s was later inhabited by the hundreds of migrant coal workers in the camps that sprang up in Harlan County, Kentucky when the big fossil fuel industry boomed. Cawood’s roots are as deep as a cast iron skillet is strong. Imagine Mama frying up a Sunday chicken supper while Pappy scratched out banjo tunes on the front porch. This rich and rustic history can be visualized, heard, and felt on her upcoming release "Bullet in the Cabin Wall".

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dana FuchsDana Fuchs has never dealt in nostalgia. For this questing artist, it’s not about the rear-view but the road ahead. The next song. The next session. Tonight’s show and tomorrow’s bus ride. But as Dana sheds her musical skin with her triumphant fourth album Love Lives On, it seems a fitting juncture to rewind the reels and thumb a backstory as compelling as any in rock ‘n’ roll. This life and times doesn’t always make for easy reading. The triumphs are laced by tragedy, ugliness, injustice. But whatever the obstacles, music and love have been the beacons that guide her on.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with James Lee BakerReleasing an album has many cool milestones from the day the masters come back, to the day the order is placed online, to when it shows up on platforms for streaming, the morning the CDs arrive in the mail, and even the first purchase from a fan; lots of great moments along the way. However, one of my favorite milestones is the initial reveal of a new project, as in this email. There's something about it being a combination of surprise, an initial glimpse into the vision of the artist, and the commitment it requires going forward. This is a step forward into certainty and i'm certainly glad to have come to this point!

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sarah Jane NelsonNow, as a Nashville-based singer and songwriter, she’s weaving her life experiences with universal truths to tell stories of her own.
“For many years, I was terrified to be truly vulnerable in my songwriting. I was used to playing a part. As an actor but also in my personal life in the role of the happy wife with the perfect family. When I finally filed for divorce, the facade crumbled and I was left with the task of picking up the pieces and building a new life. It was scary to write my last record, “I’m Not Broken,” but when I released it, I got daily emails from new fans telling me that they cried as they listened as it felt like I was singing their story. Reading those messages each day, hearing that my music provided comfort and hope, I felt empowered to go even deeper with this new record and be fearless in giving voice to the stories of those who have felt unheard and under-represented for a long time.”

Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Trudy LynnBorn Lee Audrey Nelms in Houston’s Fifth Ward, Trudy Lynn comes from strong musical stock: the late Al “TNT” Braggs, one of Houston’s most electrifying R&B vocalists and a prolific songwriter for Bobby “Blue” Bland, was her cousin. Growing up, she and her five siblings would gather on their big screened-in porch to sing in talent shows for the neighborhood kids. By high school, she took it to the next level as a member of the choirs and jazz groups, even joining Archie Bell as one of the Drells, back in ’64 before they took off. It was Albert Collins who was the first to get her on the stage while still in high school, at Walter’s Lounge on Lockwood. After singing ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ and ‘Money,’ Lynn knew she had found her calling.

Making a Scene Brings you Gerry Casey's Interview with Dom MartinAlthough a young man new to the scene, it would be wrong to think Dom Martin hasn't paid his life and musical dues. Brought up in the often tough, but community driven streets of Belfast Northern Ireland, Dom traded his craft for a time locally without a (self confessed) clue how to break into the (international) music business and possibly with too much humility to try. 'Discovered' by his present manager, Dom has made a fairly 'meteoric' rise in terms of today's industry, with his first ever EP release attracting BBC 6 music and BBC Radio 2 support - including a converted session with Cerys Matthews and quite rightly, he now has a number of international tours and Festivals in the book for 2021/22 (Subject to Covid-19 restrictions of course). His jaw dropping, entirely natural sounding and unforced/unschooled skill on acoustic guitar, matched with an authentic 'Belfast Blues' voice, brings to mind comparisons with many from (Glasgow born) John Martyn to Rory Gallagher, with nods to many in-between not least perhaps the likes of Van Morrison and Foy Vance.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mike GuldinMike Guldin first picked up the guitar at age 15 and since then has honed his craft playing in roadhouses, clubs and bars, and Festivals and Theaters for over 45 years. Influenced by blues legends Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Albert Collins, The Three Kings (BB, Albert and Freddie), Guldin is also inspired by contemporary artists including The Allman Bros, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, and The Rolling Stones. R&B/Soul icons Sam & Dave, Booker T and The MG’s, Reverend Al Green and The Memphis Stax and High Tone Records grooves are also a heavy influence, along with the Southern fried Muscle Shoals sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws and a slew of country and crossover artists like Delbert McClinton and Lee Roy Parnell. It is little wonder that stinging guitar and soulful vocals are second nature for Guldin. When combined with the raucous backing sounds of his band, “Rollin’ & Tumblin’,” all of these inspirations come to life into blues they have branded “Good Ole Butt-Shakin’ Music”!

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Pat McManus Part 2Patrick Frances McManus was one of 6 children born into an incredibly talented musical family in Derrylin, Co.Fermangh, N.Ireland. Pat’s father, John, and his mother Valerie were highly accomplished Traditional Irish music players, so it wasn’t long before Pat and his two brothers, John and Tommy, were picking up all the instruments lying around the house and learning to play. By the age of 7, Pat had already performed on live T.V. and by 14 he was All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Aged 20, Pat somehow stumbled across a band called Horslips. As Horslips were a Celtic rock band, the 3 brothers could relate to their music and quickly became big fans and later attended so many gigs that they formed a friendship with the guys in the band. The brothers soon swapped their Fiddles, Uilleann Pipes and Bodhrans for electric instruments and formed their first band called – Pulse, with Pat on Guitar, John on Bass & Vocals and Tommy (who was only 12 at the time) on drums. During an interview with Radio Luxembourg , Dj – Tony Prince, who remarked how young they all were, jokingly called them Mamas Boys – the boys changed their name. It was just meant to be an ‘of the cuff’ remark but the name stuck and soon the 3 brothers were officially known as Mamas Boys.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Matt Patershuk!Matt’s Grandad used to say: “God loves a trier”. He didn’t mean it in the way televangelist preachers do; who often say in not so many words: “If you pray the right way (and tithe appropriately), God will open limitless financial, health and career benefits before you.” He meant that there is worth, and value in the trying. The act of making an effort is redemptive, despite the outcome.
This record is called “An Honest Effort”. You’ll find stories on this album about folks trying. In the face of unfavorable odds, with seemingly certain unfavorable outcomes, they give it a good go. Results vary, but all of them are better off for the attempt.

The drive is infectious, the noise is pure filth, yet highly irresistible…Are you ready to boogie with the Beasts?

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mike Nagoda
Mike Nagoda is an LGBT Blues musician from Toronto, Canada. He began learning the piano at age six, and nearly immediately he struggled with hands that would not respond as he wanted them to because of his Cerebral Palsy. A resourceful teacher helped him overcome his difficulties with the piano, reworking arrangements so that he could comfortably play. The same could not be said for the guitar. Merely holding the guitar was painful, as was forcing his hands into chord shapes.

From there, we’ve played on some online festivals: Blues Society of Nepal, World Unity Open Mic (Philadelphia), Lockdown Music TV (London), Crossroads Confined Countdown Festival (Paris). Since we’ve found joy and inspiration in playing songs of our music heroes, many of those covers were published on Aardvark Blues FM official Facebook page, and our version of “Wheel Within Wheels” was featured on Rory Gallagher’s official Facebook page.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Ellanora DellerbaWhen Ellanora DellErba isn't picking her guitar, she's looking through the lens of her camera. One might be tempted to think she sprung up from nowhere, like sage on a high desert plateau, grounded and rooted in the arid earth, but that would belie her connection to the cosmos. She anticipates miracles and magic in everyday life. She’s equally adept at inspiring an audience as she is in breathing new life into second-hand furniture, blurring the fine line between salvage and salvation. She is an unabashed believer in the mystical and the Divine. Her timelines are filled with color—cactus pads and sunflowers, adobe walls and ghost towns, butterflies and backroads, autumn leaves, and Aspen trees. Her musical aesthetic is inspired as much by Georgia O'Keeffe as it is by John Prine, Johnny Cash or TaliasVan.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Hanna PKHanna PK is a solid pianist, soulful vocalist, and vibrant performer, born and raised in South Korea, currently residing in Rochester, NY. She plays a wide variety of the blues & swing, old school folk, and boogie-woogie. She has a dynamic songwriting style - ranging from a funky tune with socially conscious lyrics to a mournful slow blues, from a pop-edged ballad to an uplifting swinging number, and from barrelhouse boogie to jazz. Her seemingly sweet and soft-spoken appearance often leads to surprise when hearing her rich, resonating voice that goes from a whisper to belting with intensity. Her piano style is much more lyrical and imaginative than simply repeating so-called “licks”, though she knows when to toss them in the mix for a thrill, and is always in the groove. And what draws the audience closer to her heartfelt, honest music are her genuine passion, and the originality that comes from within.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mike Michel of The Orange GoodnessThe Orange Goodness is an exciting groove-fueled indie rock group that creates out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and features Mike Michel (guitars,vocals) Ian Allison (bass) and Reese Kling (drums).

Mike was afforded the opportunity to perform the songs from On The Mend on multiple stages throughout the Midwest as a solo artist, but decided to expand the performance experience to a full band which led to the addition of Minnesota session aces, Ian and Reese. Their collective chemistry was immediate, vibrant, and exploratory. After two years of cultivation, The Orange Goodness officially launched their first single, Dare I Do, spring of 2020. Their debut EP, Flying Under The Radar Of Chaos, was completed during the summer of 2021, partially funded via a successful Go Fund Me Campaign.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Russell James
Russell is autistic and disabled. Playing music is obviously a lifelong passion (or in autism-speak “special interest”) and he has often said it’s a compulsion to write and play. Playing music has offered Russ many opportunities he would not have had otherwise: He has toured the country extensively and gone on many adventures in National Parks and cities between shows. He loves living out of his bright-red Ford E-Series Van (he traded in his trusty Honda Element Camper, The Gray Haven early in 2019). Sleeping in nature and coming to shows smelling like a campfire or fresh off a river from fly-fishing are the norm for Russell. He couldn’t do this any other way, and he still needs a great deal of support while playing live shows. He is authentic on stage, pouring himself into his songs and the performance while being refreshingly open with his autism.

In this interview you will hear the voices of 3 people with dreams to make music exciting and fun again. On what I’ve seen so far the excitement and fun factor is well on the way .

GUISE is the heart and soul of pop-folk singer-songwriter Jess Guise, who has been writing and playing songs live since her teens. Possessed of a remarkable folk lilt and with influences coming from Dar Williams, Anais Mitchell and Stevie Nicks, she sings with delicacy whilst imparting vicious asides - by turns sweet and haunting. Jess heads up the four-piece band that form GUISE, together with bassist Titas Halder, co-vocalist Laura Hanna, and drummer Keith Barry. Close vocal harmonies are almost spectral, whilst Titas’s bass emboldens Jess’s songs with a warm tone, and Keith’s jazz influenced underpinning gives GUISE’s songs a swing not often found in folk.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it up with Gerry Casey and his Guest Denny Smith of The Great Affairs
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Rusty EndsRusty Ends is the real deal, a true link between the rock and blues of the 50’s and 60’s and the 21st century. Rusty learned his craft as a teenager playing in the bars and taverns up and down Dixie Highway between Louisville and Fort Knox. The audiences were made up of a combination of soldiers, bikers, laborers, hustlers and working ladies (a vocal, volatile and sometimes lethal combination). The band had to play a combination of blues, soul and country and do it all with a beat that allowed the topless dancers to keep gyrating.
Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Denny Smith of The Great AffairsDenny was born in Salinas, California, but raised in Central Illinois, the oldest of four children. As such, he lacked the guidance of a senior, hipper sibling, and became a student of Casey Kasem's Top 40, immersing myself in the Pop hits of the 80s, more or less unaware of anything else that may have existed beyond the confines of that weekly countdown. Soon enough though, MTV did it's part to broaden those horizons, and a failed relationship with the Columbia House Record Club's 12-Albums-For-A-Penny offer got him his real start in both delinquency and musical education, as he never did pay for my requisite number of additional purchases, but he did(and still do)enjoy the hell out of the ones he essentially purloined before their legal department realized he was an 11 yr. old, impervious to threats of litigation.

The “lovely harmony,” extolled by The Boot after the release of their first single, “Lucky Break,” in April 2021, describes musical kismet that can’t be manufactured or even learned. As artists with vastly different styles and personalities, the pair recognized there was strength in the depth of their differences. A shared love for a heartbreaking hook and punchy turn of phrase led to an album’s worth of co-written songs that deftly straddle the line between class and crass. This demanded they finally put a name to that intangible something between them--they call that thing Side Pony.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kris GruenIt was in Vermont's rural backcountry woods, mountains, and fields that surround his family's organic farm, that Kris Gruen began writing his fifth studio album, Welcome Farewell.
"I felt like a naturalist," says the alt-folk songwriter, who had spent much of the previous decade on the road, strumming his songs to crowds on both sides of the Atlantic. "For a traveling musician, it can be rare to choose a place in the world where you can put down your roots in this most concrete of ways. I now have a big physical commitment to home — to the farm that my family built from scratch, where my wife grows Brussels sprouts and my grandmother is buried. It was while hiking in the nearby woods that I found the reflection and context needed to write about the people and relationships that make up my family and community life. When I removed myself physically from my home to write, I could write about home more genuinely."

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Polly O'Keary of Polly O'Keary and the Rhythm Method!A century ago, blues was born in the fields of the South, played on porches and in little backwoods bars by kerosene lamp. The times have changed, and it’s a rare blues musician who grew up picking cotton and going home to learn to play by the light of a kerosene lamp.
Polly O’Keary certainly didn’t. Well, that is, she didn’t pick cotton. She picked apples. But she learned to read music by kerosene lamp, in a log cabin in a remote part of Washington State. She started playing in ex-pat bars in Mexico at 16, and Eastern Washington watering holes for rural farm workers at the age of 17. She dropped out of school with an 8th grade education, married a prison-bound man at the age of 18 and by the time she was 21 had logged more stage hours than most musicians twice her age. She’d drunk as much as a fair number of them as well.

Like most studio musicians, his time is consumed recording. That is not to say he is a stranger to the stage. He toured extensively throughout North America for twenty years. While on a break from the road in 2002, he was contacted by the music director of ABC's "All My Children" looking for blues music. According to Christopher, "it was just the right place at the right time." As the opportunities continued to grow in the studio, it became clear that the focus needed to move strictly to recording. Inevitably, the hundreds of sessions would evolve into albums.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Deb RyderShe began singing at the age of five joining her Dad, crooner Al Swanson on stage at several popular venues and churches in the Chicago area. Deb’s musical career began in her early teens when her mother moved the family to California and along with her stepfather, opened the renowned Rock and Blues club the Topanga Corral. There she opened for and performed with such legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Taj Mahal and Canned Heat, all regulars at the club. These artists mentored Ryder, and it was then that her vision of herself as a singer, songwriter and performer began to take shape.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Popa ChubbyPopa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 30 years. Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson," Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it Up with Gerry Casey and his Guest Interview Charlie BedfordThe music business long term survival depends on young blood entering the business. The blues is normally a genre for the more mature artists, so it’s really exciting to see young artists of the age group and obvious talent that Charlie possess becoming a part of the business and bringing their own original and innovative ideas to the genre. Sometimes change can be resisted in a long standing genre such as the blues. But nothing could be further from the truth. At the tender age of just 16 Charlie represented his country ( Australia at the international music awards in Memphis Tennessee)

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dexter AllenDexter Allen, born in Crystal Springs, MS. the son of musical Pastors Lee and Ruthie Allen, was raised on a farm and grew up understanding that life can still be wholesome with only the bare necessities. Dexter began playing the bass guitar at the age of 12 for his father's gospel group traveling around the central Mississippi area. His sweet blend of Blues, R&B, Soul and Funk landed him a deal in 1995 when he teamed up with Airtight Records, a local independent label, to share his musical and writing talents.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Tokyo TrampsHailing from the Land of Rising Sun (Japan), TOKYO TRAMPS is a group of American roots music fanatics. The musical journey started when Satoru left Japan to go to Louisiana searching for the spirit of Rock'n'Roll. Soon he found the key, Blues. Yukiko left a lucrative job in Tokyo and took a giant step following her heart to play American music. Then in 1999, TOKYO TRAMPS was born in Boston. Satoru took its name TRAMPS from his early idol, Bruce Springsteen's song, Born To Run - "Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run."..... Satoru says, American music changed our lives. Four individuals chanced to meet in Boston, and taking cues from our musical heroes, were creating something very unique and exciting. We are making our dreams come true every time we play.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sam MorrowTwo years before releasing Gettin' By on Gettin' Down — the most guitar-driven, groove-heavy album of Sam Morrow's catalog, with songs that roll just as hard as they rock — Morrow hit the highway in support of his third record, Concrete & Mud. Despite the 28-year-old being a road warrior for years, this time things felt different. Joined by a band of amplified roots-rockers, Morrow spent eighteen months traveling halfway across the world, playing Concrete & Mud songs to the biggest audiences of his career. By the time the dust settled, he'd become a staple of Americana radio on both sides of the Atlantic, with outlets like Rolling Stone and NPR singing his praises.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it up with Gerry Casey Show #85 with an Interview with John Angus"John’s love of music started at an early age when his mother bought him a “Beatles “ guitar. As john says he strummed and played that battered old guitar till it fell to pieces. Then he got his first electric guitar, and the rest as they say is history. A beautiful story of a young man with a passion making music. Another unmissable Turn It Up Interview."

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Jimmie BratcherBratcher’s passion for raw-but-exacting electric guitar sounds began in the ’60s when he fell under the spell of Eric Clapton, his first six-string hero. As a kid, Bratcher developed eclectic taste, culled from his large musical family, who would have sprawling jam sessions at frequent get-togethers in his native Kansas City. “I was the guy, who owned both Hendrix’s “Axis: Bold As Love” and Johnny Cash’s ‘At Folsom Prison,’” he attests.

Making a Scene Present an Interview with Carmine AppiceAs drummer for Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band‘s 1967 psychedelic debut, inadvertently inventing Stoner Rock in the process. The Fudge had no precedent. The band was totally unique. No rock group, up until that point, had ever so lugubriously s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out well-known pop tunes like the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby” and “Ticket To Ride,” Curtis Mayfield‘s “People Get Ready,” Sonny & Cher‘s “Bang Bang” Rod Argent‘s “She‘s Not There” and, most famously, The Supremes‘ Motown classic “You Keep Me Hangin‘ On” to such hippie heights. With Mark Stein‘s mysterioso wash of Grand Guignol keyboard theatrics, Tim Bogert‘s amazing and trippy bass runs, and guitarist Vince Martell‘s era-happy soloing, Appice boomed like no other drummer in rock history. Their debut album still stands today as a Hard Rock classic. Vanilla Fudge went on to tour with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and even had Led Zeppelin as an opening act.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it Up with Gerry Casey and his guest Don PowellIf music is about putting a smile on your face, making you want to clap your hands and stomp your feet. One band made you feel all three. Slade didn’t just play loud rock n roll, and made you want to stomp and scream.
They were one of the first bands to create the rock / pop anthems. Slade could create and atmosphere similar to that of a packed football stadium. The audience and the band were as one combined into a powerful wave of rock n roll heaven. But supplying the pounding beat in the engine room of the band was the unique drumming skills of Don Powell. In this extensive two part interview.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Danielle MiragliaDanielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips. Her latest “Bright Shining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts. Cascade Blues Association calls it "... tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey." Released Oct 2020 with Vizztone Label Group, it's a solo acoustic folk/blues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek and Richard "Rosy" Rosenblatt.

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Ray CashmanSome folks play the blues while some write about it and present it as their own because it is. Ray Cashman is the latter. This guy is the real deal. His songs are on the radio around the world and his European show date list alone would be the envy of anybody looking to expand internationally. Yet the man who had moved away to Austin and then on to Nashville returned his roots in Southeastern Texas. The music down his way is referred to as gulf coast gumbo as it is made up of multiple regional influences both current and from the past.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Damon FowlerFlorida's Gulf Coast has produced a plethora of distinctive musicians, from the blues of Tampa Red to jazz greats Cannonball and Nat Adderley to former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts to The Outlaws. Tampa's Damon Fowler, a masterful singer, guitar player, and songwriter has absorbed the best of and furthered the region's definitive artists' work. A hard-driving troubadour, his music is steeped with soul and representative of the many styles that make up American music's roots. He has gained his peers' respect given his featured slot in Butch Truck's Freight Train band and his side gig as guitarist in the Dickey Betts Band. Critics have compared Fowler's guitar work to Johnny Winter and Jeff Beck, while his slide guitar is reminiscent of the late Duane Allman. Fowler can play fiery guitar runs with the best of them, and his lyrical work on lap steel and dobro makes him a stand out performer among the legions of guitar heroes. His new release, Alafia Moon, combines all the influences that have shaped his distinctive blues career.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Neil Barnes!I owe 99% of how I learned to play from Gary Smith, the Godfather of the South Bay Area blues scene. Gary took the time to show me the how-to's and the don't-do's of the Blues harmonica, along with the approach to the music I love.
I also spent a lot of time going to see Charlie Musselwhite everywhere he played in the Bay Area. I finally got the nerve to ask him for a private lesson (I really was wrapped around the axle on third position) and imagine my surprise when he said “yes” and showed up at my parent’s house. Charlie patiently played guitar to my caterwauling harp until those 3rd position mechanics started to sync in. I'm forever grateful for that time with one of my true heroes. Charlie continues to inspire me to this day.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Aris Paul!You'd be hard-pressed to find another band that embodies Pittsburgh Rock and Southside Blues like APB...Aris, Aaron, and Matt refer to what they do as "red-eyed, road rock" - and that's accurate. It's a culmination of fierce guitar, moving bass lines, and remarkably technical drumming that evoke bands of yesteryear while throwing in some jam-ish nuances. Their music has the gypsy soul of the Allman Bros., the blues swagger of Freddie King, the rowdy rock 'n' roll of the Stones, and the heavy metal roar of Hendrix and Sabbath. Spanning funk to country, hard rock to blues, APB puts on a rock show that has opened them up to the national spotlight and allowed them to tour the country and work alongside the likes of the Way-Down Wanderers, Joanna Shaw Taylor, Eric Sommers, Joshua Davis, Ally Venable, Raelyn Nelson (Willie Nelson's granddaughter), and many, many more.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dustin Arbuckle and Matt WoodsSinger and harp blower Dustin Arbuckle was born in Wichita, Kansas on December 25, 1981 and experienced a parallel upbringing with his musician father and singing from a very early age. He also followed his muse to play at 15 after hearing Elmore James and B.B. King, though the blues harp lessons would become his vocation.
Matt Woods is both a native of Iowa, and a longstanding purveyor of its diverse music scene. As a seasoned performer of many local, regional and national venues, Matt has developed a distinct style while staying true to his love of traditional American music. Woods is well versed in the many shapes this music can take; from traditional delta, hill country and urban electric blues, to gospel, country and folk music.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Samantha Martin of Samantha Martin and Delta Sugar!With the worldwide pandemic wrecking utter havoc upon the careers of many musicians, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar elected to use their time off the road to record, mix and master their latest tour-de-force, the astonishingly powerful, funky and deeply soulful The Reckless One.
The follow up to 2018’s Juno-nominated Run To Me, The Reckless One represents another massive step forward for Samantha Martin as a songwriter, singer, arranger and band leader. Eleven of the album’s twelve songs were either co-written or solely composed by the multi-talented, multi-faceted artist. The one non-original, a funk infused cover of Bob Dylan’s “Meet Me in the Morning,” fuses Dylan’s lyric in a cataclysmic clash with the sensibilities of the Meters and the hurricane force of Howlin’ Wolf and Tina Turner at their rawest. It simply has to be heard to be believed.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sandra NorthSandra North started her early musical years in Sweden, singing in church choirs and school ensembles. It was clear at a very young age that singing, dancing and performing was all she wanted to do. She slowly worked her way into the music scene by booking bands and artists for music festivals and doing various production work on TV shows.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Trevor B PowerTrevor B. Power’s love of music flows from his very roots. Many childhood days and nights were spent in the company of the old turntable in his parents’ New Jersey home. From dramatically composed opera to smooth winding blues, the records he loved created a soundtrack to his childhood that would later influence a diversely conversant musical style. It didn’t take long for Trevor to combine his love of music with his natural performing ability. Through this ambition and effort, Trevor spent two and a half decades dedicating himself to his passion. Throughout the United States, Trevor could be found influencing the music scene performing solo and in bands.

His father is also a professional musician and has been his greatest influence, welcoming him onstage from an early age to play along with various groups over the years on teeth-cutting songs such as "Silverwings", "Amarillo By Morning", and "Stormy Monday". He was also raised by his brothers to be an outdoorsmen; camping, fishing, and hunting at every opportunity; which continues to shape the artist he is today.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sara PetiteAward-winning songwriter. International road warrior. American roots outlaw.For the better part of two decades, Sara Petite has blazed her own trail, carving out a mix of forward-thinking country, bluegrass, amplified folk, and Springsteen-sized rock & roll. It's a sound that blurs the boundaries between genres, created by a charismatic frontwoman who's never been afraid to buck trends or speak her mind. With Rare Bird, her sixth record, she widens her range once again, filling the album's tracklist with highway anthems, heartland rockers, lushly-layered Americana ballads, and even a gospel-influenced tribute to civil rights leader John Lewis.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Domenic CicalaIt all started on a train to Central Mexico. A long, long train ride with a cast of characters - Typhoid Dan, Roadie Bob and a Finnish cowboy nicknamed Dusty... and some well known masters of song such as Dave Alvin, Tom Russell, Terry Allen, and Butch Hancock among others. There was a deal struck with my new friend Bonnie, a pledge to pursue a lifelong dream to not only play music but write songs. So cut to a year or so later when a friend said " We need a rhythm guitarist for this band I'm in...".

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Skylar RogersSkylar Rogers was born and raised in some of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods. She learned at an early age that music brought people together and grew up listening to music her mother (a singer herself) was listening or singing to. This upbringing laid the groundwork, giving Skylar the drive and passion to explore a career in music. Skylar's "Soul Rockin’ Blues" sound has been influenced by Tina Turner, Etta James, Billy Joel, and Koko Taylor. Throw in a bit of AC/DC and multiple Motown artists and you have the unique, strong, passionate and energetic Skylar Rogers.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Rebecca DownesRebecca was born and grew up in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom. She first started performing live music when aged 13 and as a teenager wrote and performed her own material. Some original recordings still exist – a little rough round the edges at times, but the passion and energy comes through, along with the power of her voice. Whilst her career path took her to Staffordshire University to study Fine Art and Art History and then into full-time work, she continued to perform a broad range of live music. She was always keen to return to writing and recording, but needed encouragement to pick up the notebook and guitar once again.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Nico De Cock of The BluesbonesBorn in 1973, Nico picked up singing at early age when his mother took him to church choir rehearsals. Later on he worked with Tim Janssens in his studio recording a lot of variegated projects. It wasn't until 2004, at the age of 31, that he traded the studio floor for the stage floor and joined his first band, Bottle of Blooze.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Lloyd JonesPortland, Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. He’s a relentless road dog, hitting festival stages, Delbert’s annual Sandy Beaches Cruises (he’s been a regular on six winter cruises), and clubs all across the land to enthusiastic crowds who can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his backporch picking, his serious-as-anthrax funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and old-school rhythm and blues (back before the R&B tag was somehow appropriated for other musical purposes, apparently when we weren’t looking). Yet he may be the most invisible, best-kept roots/blues/Americana secret on the contemporary scene.

Defying dark times and rolling up the amps, this fourth release from the acclaimed singer-songwriter is a record to rattle your speakers and signpost better times ahead.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Chris Bevington of the Chris Bevington OrganizationI guess the story begins as I celebrated my 50th birthday and like most people I guess you take stock of things and what you have done and also more importantly what you want to do or try to do in the future. I have always played music in Bands since I was 15, whether that be Rock bands or Blues based bands and have also enjoyed time in bands that played lots of different styles of music, but my heart always comes back to Blues Music. One of the difficulties I’ve always faced in music is that I don’t sing or write music and I play the Bass and normally stood at the back (I still do that!!), so really I wasn’t in a great position to start a music project really, and added to this my confidence was pretty low – I knew that if I got a lot of bad feedback then it would all crash and burn pretty quick. So, based on all the skills I was missing I decided to try and go for it ……. not like me at all really

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Erin Harpe“When I listen to the blues, it makes me want to cry—it’s a part of me—but before making this album, I felt I was neglecting the acoustic blues woman in me,” award-winning blues artist and educator Erin Harpe shares. Erin proudly acknowledges the acoustic blues woman in her with the return-to-roots duo record, Meet Me In The Middle, out now on VizzTone/Juicy Juju Records! It is an album of joyous music made for desperate times.
The Boston-based multi-band leader producer, indie label owner, singer-songwriter, and guitarist leads the electric blues quartet Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers with her husband and label co-owner, bass player Jim Countryman. This outfit has released three well-received albums. The couple also founded the neo-new wave-y Afro-pop group, Lovewhip, which has released four critically-acclaimed albums. Erin has issued a pair of acoustic blues albums, and maintains an acoustic blues duo with Jim playfully nicknamed “CBD,” Country Blues Duo. In addition, Erin is also an in-demand fingerstyle blues educator who in 2016 released the DVD Women of the Country Blues Guitar through the esteemed Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with a Pro - Benji Stein Found of Playlistsupply.com
In today's streaming world, many indie artists have been struggling to find a way to take advantage of Spotify's playlisting to get more exposure and generate more income from their recorded music. Many have fallen prey to bogus playlisting services that made exorbitant claims but in the end just resulted in little to no measurable results for over the top fees.
Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Paul JosephFounding member of the band 100 Watt Vipers, that over the span of 2013 to 2018 released 5 albums. The band gained a large indie following worldwide for their stripped down 2 piece heavy garage blues. Paul wrote and produced, as well as recorded much of the Vipers material that became quite loved by the bands base......with some of the videos gaining almost a million views on Facebook , as well as hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it up with Gerry Casey Show #74Ben Reel is this week’s guest on the Turn it Up interview. Back in 1985 when Bruce Springsteen played Slane Castle a 13 year old boy from Silverbridge Co Armagh knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life . Write and play his own music and tour around the world. All those years later that young boy has made the dream come true. On his latest album “The Nashville Calling “the role of bass player was none other than Gary Talent the bass player with the legendary “E Street Band”. Little did that boy from Silverbridge realize that day in Slane when he attended the Bruce Springsteen concert, that one day he would work with the bass guitarist from that legendary band, that inspired him to start his journey in the world of music all those years ago.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Ghalia VoltNever underestimate the power of a woman with her back to the wall. In March 2020, as Covid blew across the planet, the shutters came down on live venues and recording studios, and the music scene fell suddenly silent, Ghalia Volt faced the same dilemma as every other artist. What now?
The answer was One Woman Band.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Aaron Flanders of the Burnt PinesTHE BURNT PINESis a multicultural marvel, chiefly comprised of a trio of talented musicians who first came together at a Lisbon recording studio in the summer of 2018, and in a relatively short period of time rose to the challenge of inter-continental recording. With lead vocals by Danish-born singer and lyricist, Kris Skovmand, THE BURNT PINES also includes veteran songwriter, instrumentalist and arranger Aaron Flanders (Boston, MA) on guitar, banjo and Portuguese-born keyboard player and arranger Miguel Sá Pessoa. Also featured on the album are Fernando Huergo on 5-string electric bass, Luis Barros on drums and percussion, and Dan Fox on upright bass.

Making A Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Ben Reel‘The Nashville Callingis the title of the ninth studio album by Irish artist Ben Reel. Released on 27th March 2020. Produced by Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack and featuring Garry W Tallent on bass from the legendary E Street Band. The album contains 11 new tracks all written by Ben Reel. It was recorded at Skinny Elephant Studios in Nashville. This album was done and dusted in just 3 days with all live takes.

Making a Scene presents an interview with Ben LevinAt only 21 years old, Ben Levin is already making his mark as a blues pianist, vocalist, and songwriter. Ben has been nominated for a Blues Music Award and two Blues Blast Magazine Awards. Based in Cincinnati, OH, Ben has been playing 100 shows a year since he was 15 years old, embracing the authentic sound of his heroes such as Professor Longhair, Pinetop Perkins, Otis Spann, and Ray Charles. According to Bill Wilson from Reflections in Blue, “Ben Levin is GOOD…Learning at the feet of established masters and from the greatest recordings of all time; he has a deep love for the instrument and for the music.”

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Peter Buzzelle of Devil LoveBlurring the boundaries between '90s alt-rock, '70s rhythmic crunch, and the savvy songwriting of Big Star and Elliott Smith, Devil Love makes its own brand of hook-heavy pop/rock. It's a modern sound that nods to the best parts of the past, fusing the melodies of frontman Peter Buzzelle — a longtime member of Boston's songwriting community — with the thick guitars and stomping percussion of a full-throttle indie-rock band.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Bob MargolinBoston native Bob Margolin was born in 1949. Inspired by Chuck Berry, he started playing guitar at age 15 and immediately started performing in local rock and blues bands. Margolin was hired by Muddy Waters in 1973.Muddy’s band toured the world and jammed with many great blues and rock musicians, “but the biggest thrill was playing Muddy’s Blues with him.” Muddy brought Margolin with him to special shows and recordings, when he sometimes didn’t use his whole band, to give him a familiar sound when working with other musicians. In 1975, they recorded Grammy Award-winning “Muddy Waters Woodstock Album”, Muddy’s last for Chess Records, which featured Paul Butterfield, and Levon Helm and Garth Hudson from The Band.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Sam Davidson!"The island of Ireland has produced many fine guitarists. In the blues rock genre Rory Gallagher, and Gary Moore spring to mind."
Rory's early career involved forming power rock trio Taste, they were hugely successful during the late sixties/early seventies. After Rory's departure the band broke up, but after the death of Rory there were calls by many in the business to re-form Taste with 2 of the 3 original members taking part. One huge missing link was of course Rory . About that time Belfast man Sam Davison was approached to fill the mission spot. Certainly big shoes to fill and Sam thought long and hard as to whether he should get involved. In the end thankfully Sam said yes but only on the condition that he would play Rory's songs his way. The reformed band was a huge success touring all over the world to packed venues. This interview traces Sam's life story from his earliest involvement in the music business,to playing with Taste, and then to his current musical project "The SD Blues Express" So yet again a story about a man with so much ability and passion for the spirit and power of the blues. Definitely an unmissable interview."
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Tom Beardsley of Red RedComing from the crossroads of Europe, Red Red (USA/BE) is an unlikely cross-pollination between psychedelia, 70s guitar rock, blues and hip-hop turntablism. Led by an ethnomusicologist and multi-instrumentalist from Ohio, Red Red is formed from the finest musicians from the Belgian roots, blues, and jazz music scenes. Turntablist DJ Courtasock fills out the lineup, adding layers of sampled sounds from all over the world.

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Andy Cohen!Andy Cohen grew up in a house with a piano and a lot of Dixieland Jazz records, amplified after a while by a cornet that his dad got him. At about fifteen, he got bitten by the Folk Music bug, and soon got to hear records by Big Bill Broonzy and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, both of which reminded him of the music he grew up to. At sixteen, he saw Reverend Gary Davis, and his course was set. He knew he had it in him to follow, study, perform and promote the music of the southeast quadrant, America’s great musical fountainhead. Although he’s done other things, a certain amount of writing and physical labor from dishwashing and railroading to archeology, playing the old tunes is what he does best.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Alastair GreeneAs Alastair Greene’s prolific and acclaimed career rounds the corner into a third decade, Greene arrives at a new, yet familiar destination. Following a 2018 live album that celebrated the 20th anniversary of his noteworthy Alastair Greene Band, the singer-songwriter/guitarist returns with an inspired solo collection, The New World Blues, and a tonic for the times. “I’m not a prophet by any stretch of the imagination,” Greene says. “But, this record is even more relevant now than when I wrote it in 2019.”

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Jared Tyler of Saugeye!Saugeye is the self-titled debut and collaborative project of veteran Tulsa musicians Jared Tyler, Seth Lee Jones, Jake Lynn, and Casey Van Beek. The band is named after avid fisherman and frontman Tyler’s favorite catch, a hybrid cross of the sauger and walleye. Fittingly, Saugeye’s sound is a unique mix of hybrid roots music: folk, blues, country, and rock blending seamlessly from tune to tune.
Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Bob AngellBOB “SnakeShaker” ANGELL started BLUES OUTLET in the spring of 1966. The original idea, as Angell recalls, was to “Take Chuck Berry material and explore it all the way back… through Muddy, Jimmy Reed, Howlin’ Wolf et al…and see just how far back we could take it. It didn’t stop at Robert Johnson, either. Iconic as Johnson had become…I just kept coming across even earlier, deeper blues men... real roots guys like Son House, Charley Patton ...y’know, guys like that.”
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with the Legendary Margie SingletonNoted as a hit R&B songwriter, a stellar country singer and an in-demand studio backup vocalist, Margie has been working in the music industry for seven decades. She has sung nine top-40 country hits and written five top-10 successes for others.
A 2013 German reissue of 30 of her classic performances opened a new chapter in her story. She began to write again. When she turned 80, she recorded a new collection of her songs, On the Other Side of Life. This was followed by her 2017 gospel release Jesus Is My Pusher, which earned her national record reviews and a string of media appearances.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Miss Emily!In February of 2020 at the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto, Miss Emily walked away with Female Vocalist of the Year, New Artist of the Year and the Sapphire Canadian Blues Music Video Award. This national recognition hearkened back to her early days of county fair singing competitions. In 1993 a then 12 year- old Emily Fennell was winning accolades not by emulating Whitney Houston or Celine Dion like her peers but by channeling Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin; belting out song choices that belied her age. Those traditional influences would be the foundation of a career characterized by fearless honesty and a constant connection to the roots of popular music.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey Interviews Paul Hurst of the JokersThe Jokers, who hail from the North West of England, were formed in 2006, with the aim of creating the world’s greatest rock and roll band. Their debut album, ‘The Big Rock ‘N’ Roll Show’, while mixed by Mike Fraser in Vancouver, (straight after he had mixed AC/DC’s 10 million plus selling Black Ice album), was only recorded in guitarist Paul Hurst’s Liverpool living room, with duvets hanging on the walls to help the sound and provide a makeshift vocal booth.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Randall BramblettWhen singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Randall Bramblett began compiling the songs that would eventually make up his 12th and newest studio album, Pine Needle Fire, it wasn’t with any particular musical or lyrical direction in mind. But viewed through the lens of the dozen tracks on the now completed set, it’s apparent there was a theme there all along.
“I recognize a thread about time passing, or at least grappling with the realization that you don’t have an infinite amount of time left like you think you do when you're young,” says Bramblett, who in addition to his solo work has over the course of his illustrious 40-plus-year career recorded, performed and composed alongside rock luminaries like Steve Winwood, the Allman Brothers, the Band’s Levon Helm, Bonnie Raitt, Marc Cohen, Widespread Panic and many others. “So there's that mortality part of it. And then another part has to do with our current situation in this country. I grew up protesting in the ‘60s and ‘70s, so I’ve always felt connected to politics. Now I'm really hung up on it. And you look around and there’s a lot of people that are kind of desperate for change and for justice…or maybe they’re just desperate. They’re trying to hang on in this world. I’m one of them. Most of us are, to some degree.”

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Jock Bartley of Firefall!JOCK BARTLEY is known for his melodic, tasteful and fiery lead guitar style - his playing has influenced many rock & roll and country rock guitarists who have come in later generations.
Born in Hutchinson, Kansas, Jock moved to the mountains above Manitou Spgs., Colo. in 1959. AT nine years old he began taking guitar lessons from the jazz guitar legend, JOHNNY SMITH, in Colo. Spgs in 1960, calling his five year relationship with his teacher/mentor, “about the best thing that ever happened to me.” He was playing Bach and Duke Ellington by the age of 11 and 12, but then in 1964 The Beatles played on Ed Sullivan and changed the world. “That’s when I knew I wanted to be in a rock band.” And when a few years later, hearing recordings of Eric Clapton and B.B. King, his musical focus sharpened. After graduating high school, where he’d been an Honor Roll student and top scorer on the basketball team, Jock attended the University of Colorado in Boulder as an art major. “When I had to finally decide what I was going to do with my life – art, music, writing, drama – it was quite an easy decision. Playing guitar was the single best thing I did, and most fun.”

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Layla Zoe!Give Layla Zoe a stage and she’ll show you magic. In a world of choreography and autotune, this is one performer who does it the old-fashioned way, digging deep, summoning a smoke-and-whisky vocal, leaving it all on the stage and sending breathless fans out into the night to spread the word. “For me,” says Layla, “there is nothing as satisfying as being on stage with my band, giving my heart to the fans, through music. I like to write songs, I enjoy being in the studio, but the live shows are the reason I love my job so much."

Making a Scene Presents an interview with Dione TaylorAccording to the Yuchi Indian Tribe there is a powerful legend of the Tanasi River or “Singing River” in Tennessee. Inside the waterway lives a woman who sings songs to protect those who hear her. Inspired by this mythical folklore, Dione Taylor took an insightful road trip to Nashville Tennessee and found inspiration for her vivid new album, “Spirits in the Water.” This musical odyssey explores the deep sacred, healing journey back to the self.

Making a Scene Presents Turn it up with Gerry Casey with an interview with Joseph Morganfield"Joseph Mojo Morganfield, didn’t start out life as a blues player. Even though you would think that’s the natural path he would take but no. Joseph was very much interested in sports. In fact until recently Joseph’s life was far removed from the world of music. But eventually the pull from the world of music became so strong that it was inevitable Joseph would take to the stage just like his Father and Brothers had done before hm. In fact his latest single Good To Be King topped the blues charts in the states and other regions. It looked like a promising career was beckoning. Then sadly on December 10th 2020 Joseph Morganfield passed at the age of 56.
Earlier this year I had the privilege to interview Joseph for Turn It Up. Broadcast earlier in the year. It gives the listeners an up close and personal view of what was going on in the world of Joseph Mojo Morganfield."
"We here at the station felt it would be a fitting way to celebrate the life, and pay tribute to joseph by rebroadcasting this interview on tonight’s show. So sit back and relax and listen to the Turn It Up Interview with Joseph Mojo Morganfield

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Daryl MosleyCalling Daryl Mosley a singer/songwriter is only correct in the most basic sense. Daryl is a gifted songwriter and storyteller who paints vivid pictures of life as it could be, used to be, or might have been. He’s not flashy; just a man with a guitar, a voice as smooth as molasses in winter, and some exquisitely-crafted songs that resonate deeply with people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether performing at an auditorium, festival, church, or songwriting venue, Mosley's affable personality and remarkable songs engage the listener in a way that few artists can.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Nico De Cock of The BluesbonesBorn in 1973, Nico picked up singing at early age when his mother took him to church choir rehearsals. Later on he worked with Tim Janssens in his studio recording a lot of variegated projects. It wasn't until 2004, at the age of 31, that he traded the studio floor for the stage floor and joined his first band, Bottle of Blooze.
With this band he released one studio album containing a few original songs and this was the stepping stone to start writing lyrics and music. Nico loved to perform live on stage, and this resulted in bands like The Blues Conspiracy and Dusty Dollar .

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Juliet HawkinsA modern troubadour with footprints in both the soul and rock worlds, singer & songwriter Juliet Hawkins brings her message of hope and self-acceptance in her new EP Lead with Love (2020). From the start of her musical journey in Rockport, Mass., on a path that led to working at an orphanage in Peru, stints in Wyoming and California, and finding her true voice in Nashville, Tenn., Hawkins’ commanding vocals evoke a place of self-healing. The fusion of her fiery personality and artistry stirs and inspires the listener. From her rendition of Cage The Elephant’s “Trouble” to the smoky, bedroom pop track “Let You Leave”, Hawkins’ compass points home. “I chose the Cage the Elephant cover because besides being a personal fan of the Nashville band, the message felt relevant given ‘the times’,” Hawkins, who first released the single on July 3, said. “It was the first to be released as well to set a personal and global storyline. The solution to the trouble is love.”

Making a Scene Interviews Grainne DuffyGrainne Duffy was born in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, Ireland and raised in a family of seven. As a schoolgirl she sang in her local choir and also in a family band with her sisters. The band was bred from their love of music, which Duffy accredits to her mother. Not having a television in their home when they were young, her mother instead allowed them to own a family record player, on which they all were encouraged to get a record on their individual birthday’s and Christmas. This broadened their interest in music and they began listening to artists such as Aretha Franklin, The Pretenders and The Rolling Stones. Around that time Grainne discovered Fleetwood Mac and the blues playing of Peter Green, whom she cites as one her main guitar influences. Previous to her solo career Grainne Duffy obtained a degree in music at NUI, Maynooth, Ireland and took part in session work singing with various bands across Italy and France.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Matt EckstineContinually inspired by the shifting waves of his life, the Lowcountry and the coast he calls home, Matt Eckstine’s evolution as a songwriter has reached a new peak on his second solo album “Lil’ Blue.”
Eckstine moved to Lowcountry from his native Ohio nearly two decades ago. He fronted the wildly popular Americana band The Accomplices—Voted Best Band In Savannah by Savannah Magazine 2015 and 2016—where his craft as a songwriter began to take shape. In 2017, Eckstine released his debut solo album and began a new chapter in his songwriting saga.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview by Gerry Casey with The Southbound Snake Charmers"Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", Up Around The Bend" and "Run Through the Jungle" bring to mind one band and that band are California's Creedence Clearwater Revival. a quartet who despite their West Coast origins jammed grooves of a more southern persuasion, songs that referenced swamps, bayous and catfish rather than the sun, sand and sea of their home. Why, you may ask, are we mentioning this? Well the answer to that comes from the mouth of Southbound Snake Charmersvocalist/guitarist Topher Denman who when notifying Desert Psychlist of the imminent arrival of his bands new EP "To The Bone" added to his message " I feel we went really Creedence with this one", a bold statement you may say, so time to find out if they did.
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Katarina PejakKatarina Pejak is a blues singer, songwriter and piano player and a Ruf Records recording artist. She is best known for her eclectic musical approach - her style lives on the crossroads of American music genres such as blues, soul, folk and jazz.
Katarina started performing in her late teens, playing blues clubs in her hometown (Belgrade) and other cities in Serbia. She put out three albums in her home country, "Perfume & Luck", 2010, and "First Hand Stories", 2012 and “Old, New Borrowed and Blues”, 2016, a live mini album recorded in 2015.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with David RotundoToronto blues harpist David Rotundo heard James Cotton perform at the El Mocambo in 1991. “He blew one note on the harmonica that hypnotized me…” The next day, Rotundo went out and bought a harmonica. “…and I’ve been playing the blues ever since.” Obsession with the blues led on a diesel-fueled roots tour of blues epicentres of the United States including – New Orleans, Clarksdale, Austin, Memphis and Chicago with little more than his wits and a bag full of harmonicas. “I wanted to hear and experience the real thing.”

When he was 16, Anderson joined Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters, who he played with from 1999-2002. During this period, he was also heavily immersed in country blues, studying with Paul Rishell, and was particularly taken by Son House and Skip James. From 2002-2005, Anderson was a member of The Monster Mike Welch Band, and is featured on the 2005 recording, Adding Insight to Injury.
