The Return Of The Regional Music Economy

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. http://www.makingascene.org
