Our initiative is geared toward making our platform stronger, to ensure that the songs and stories from within our community have a greater opportunity to impact the masses.

Because it’s Small Business Saturday, we thought now would be the perfect time to offer a few ways that you, People of the Underground, can help us on our noble mission.

Sunday Replay: Combating Narcissism, Finding Balance, and Rising the Tide

Posted on by Leave a comment

As we move toward the end of the year, it’s mind-blowing to think of how many independent creatives — from Nashville and beyond — joined The Quinn Spinn this year to share incredible insights into their journeys. Overall, the best conversations in the show’s 9+ year history have happened in 2022, and it makes us even more optimistic for the future.

Combine that with the fact that we just found out the show is in the top 5% of most shared podcasts across all of Spotify, and is within the top 30% of most followed podcasts on Spotify, and we can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store!

Before we get there, though, let’s take a look and listen back to some highlights, as we get ready to finish the year strong.

Those who were fortunate enough to catch Blu DeTiger on her Blu DeTour this fall were treated to something completely fresh in the modern music landscape. Blu’s charisma and extraordinary technical prowess (alongside her ability to remind us that bass is, indeed, a lead instrument) work together to create a dynamic and unforgettable live show. Blu’s sound and swagger could fill an arena — and we have no doubt that day is coming, sooner rather than later.

Holistic Hangs: A Chance to Build Community

Posted on by Leave a comment

Let me take you back to the Summer of 2017. Nashville still was not but a twinkle in our eye. The Underground Music Collective you know and love today was known as Lehigh Valley Underground, based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

My hair was shoulder length, and I resembled the GEICO caveman. If you know, you know. If you don’t, consider yourself fortunate. 😉
