Hey! Jayne and I did a podcast. It's pretty rare for us to do stuff like this because we are like to keep the focus on our artists. But we made an exception because we are fans of what Ben and Holy Fool are doing for artists. Give it a listen and learn about how handle our business.
Holy Fool Podcast host Ben Sooy speaks with Bob and Jayne from the @undertowmusic.bsky.social about their DIY approach to artist management, the importance of house shows, and the evolving landscape of the music industry.

When young artists are starting out, there’s a tendency to “find your career”, when in reality your career finds you.
And to add on this: your career will be filled with pivots. The more you accept this, the more at ease you’ll be.

Check it out! New single and video from The Tammy Shine! "comes off strong with this odd hybrid vibe of a dirge-laden Kristin Hersh single, a touch of southern gothic R.E.M., and T-Rex if Marc Bolan had been able to lean further into the punk scene he was starting to enjoy."

Other People's Music will enter its THIRD year this April. I have a few goals for the newsletter/blog this year, but the FIRST one is to pay for its hosting. I am a day into my fundraiser for the $220 bill (hosting + payment processor fees); got $2-3 to help me get there?
