The Making a Scene Community is where indie music fans, artists, and developers connect to Build the New Music Industry!

Welcome to the Making a Scene Community

This is the owned community for indie artists, music fans, recording engineers, songwriters, producers, promoters, venue owners, writers, and supporters of independent music.

This is where we talk about the music, the business, the tools, the gear, the shows, the future, and the fight to build a real independent music middle class.

This is not rented space. This is our room.
