In this episode, I continue my conversation with Nashville-based band Horsehell as we dive into the raw realities of being an independent band in a crowded scene. We talk about what it takes to book and promote your own shows, the grind of building connections in the DIY music world, and why persistence is key when reaching out to venues. The band shares insights into Nashville’s underground music scene, the power of community, and the challenges of getting people to show up when everyone’s also a musician.

We also get into the creative side of things—how they push boundaries with their performances, the emotional highs and lows of being in a band, and why authenticity always wins. Whether you're an artist trying to navigate the indie world or a fan who loves discovering underground bands, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and real talk about what it means to make music on your own terms.
