Why the Traditional Music Industry Is Crumbling (And What Indie Artists Can Do About It) |
The Music Industry Is Cracking Wide Open
The music industry? It’s not the towering empire it used to be. For decades, a small circle of gatekeepers—major record labels, radio giants, and corporate publishers—held the keys to success. They decided who got famous, who got airtime, and who saw a dime from their own music. If you didn’t play by their rules, you were pushed to the sidelines.
But guess what? That old system is cracking—and honestly, it’s about time. |

Our Cover Artist Clarence Tilton |
|
Clarence Tilton, the Omaha-based band known for their sharp storytelling and rich harmonies, returns with Queen of the Brawl—a new album that captures the grit, soul, and heart of the American Midwest. Featuring special guest appearances by country legend Marty Stuart and Presley Tucker (bandmate and daughter of Tanya Tucker), the album blends personal history, road-worn reflections, and a deep love of place into a powerful collection of songs. As The Country Note describes it, the album “blends alt-country grit, rich, melodic hooks, and evocative” songwriting. |
