Scene Mom Says: Dropkicks, TikTok, & Indie Picks

Time: ~34 min. It’s Episode 68! This week I dive into a packed episode full of music news, and indie gems. I kick things off with a personal update (smoky skies and chili cookoffs, anyone?), then the headlines: Dropkick Murphys pull out of Punk in the Park over political donations, TikTok launches new tools to boost songwriter visibility, and Amazon shakes up its podcasting division—again. Plus, I have a marketing tip for musicians, spotlight five standout indie tracks including Rachael Plays Guitar, The Kowalskis, and Martin Moran, and wrap it all up with some good news from the world of YouTube philanthropy. Whether you're here for the music, the marketing, or the scene energy— I have something for you. LINKS:  SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER!  Get your merch!
