Scene Mom Says: Indie Label Insights, Social Media Trends, and Smart Promotion

Time: ~30 min.  It’s Episode 79! I’m back! This week I’m diving into the final Bandcamp Friday of 2025, breaking down the latest indie music news, and sharing a content strategy tip that every independent artist should be using. I’m also playing new music from Girl With a Hawk, Arrows of Athena, The Fabulous Boring Brothers, and Martin Moran. I talk about how indie labels invested in artists this past year, what the newest 2025 social media trends mean for musicians, and why spreading out your content can make a huge difference for your reach and engagement. I also touch on PETA’s request for Alice in Chains to amplify their campaign for Betty the Elephant, share a few key music history moments, and wrap up with some good news about the health benefits of singing.
