    How To Build A Simple Artist CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Without Getting Overwhelmed

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

    Interview with The Silverteens

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

    The Next Music Manager May Be A Workflow Designer

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

    Interview with Kaatwalk

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

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. http://www.makingascene.org

  6. Understanding Loudness and LUFS

    Understanding Loudness and LUFS

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

    Interview with Kyle LaLone

    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. http://www.makingascene.org

  8. The Indie Artist’s AI Content Calendar That Actually Leads Somewhere

    The Indie Artist’s AI Content Calendar That Actually Leads Somewhere

    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. http://www.makingascene.org
