Cosmic Americana, House Shows, & Beer Nerd Talk – LB Beistad on Nashville Life & Indie Music Grit

In this episode, I sit down with Nashville-based artist LB Beistad to talk about the real side of indie music—grinding through the “Ten Year City,” finding your scene, and why community means everything. LB opens up about her move from East Tennessee, how house shows helped her break into Nashville’s underground, and the surprising role nonalcoholic beer and half marathon training played in her creative journey. We dive into the struggle of genre labels, how she’s building a fanbase without sacrificing authenticity, and why she’d rather write a song that feels real than chase a trend. From her obsession with storytelling to her desire to one day perform on SNL or score music for video games, LB brings a thoughtful and honest take to what it means to make music that matters in a city overflowing with talent. 🎧 Check out LB Beistad on Yotube 👉 Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@lbbeistad/videos
