We are here to support the independent music community.
We share our experiences and research through online music marketing articles. We also publish articles related to recording, music production, and gear.
We also review albums, conduct interviews, and our Mid Tenn Listens podcast is available on iTunes and Stitcher Radio.
Bret writes production, mixing, and engineering focused reviews of albums on his blog at Small Barn Sound.
What do we do?
We empower independent musicians by helping them understand effective ways to promote their music online. We also provide website tips, discuss strategies, and share tutorials.
We act as consultants and website managers for a growing list of clients including indie labels, bands, and other small businesses not related to music.
We love music. We love helping people. This website is how we accomplish both.
A quick break down:
- We review, feature, and interview indie musicians as well as venues, studios, and other entities involved in music.
- We consult and share information that helps you build, control and maintain your website.
- We help you make sense of social media as well as the dos and don’ts.
- We help you understand online marketing – the tools and strategies – and the various ways you can use the web to promote yourself and build your tribe.
- We are WordPress junkies so we share information related to WP powered websites.
- We are also SEO junkies so we publish articles focused on search engine optimization and driving traffic to your band’s website.
- We cover (and sometimes organize) events.

I hired Bret after having a particularly bad experience with another web designer. I was nervous and had already paid too much. But I needed the job finished and finished well. Bret was fantastic. He did what he said, when he said. He was responsive to my needs and he didn’t consider the job done until I was happy. I look forward to a long relationship. -Debra Russell, Speaker/Trainer/Coach for Music Business, Arts & Entertainment Industry, Pro Athletes
One of the best gigs and more of a gem opportunity from a music blogger who cares about music. Other bloggers should be using this as an example for what to offer. Should be charging ever more for the effort they put in. -Domino Grey, Indie Musician and Producer
