"As the internet became more interactive over 1995, it became a more attractive place for musicians to set up a web presence. David Bowie was one of the first to do this."
Dock Boggs would often play in mining camps. This became a dangerous occupation as #mining #camps at that time, were known to be rough and violent especially with #miners drinking #moonshine.
He was rediscovered by Pete Seeger.
#Artists and #Musicians out there, why do you create art? All relies welcome! Always curious as to the driving force that turns creativity into works of art and how it differs from individual to individual.

@ethicalrevolution@climatejustice.socialI’ve documented how musicians can make more money for each track sold (losing less to the payment processor for each small transaction): https://nham.co.uk/2025/03/musicians-how-to-receive-more-money-for-each-track-sold/
If you’re a musician or know a musician who sells tracks online please share!

Hello! This is another amazing cover of one of my fave songs of all time. This musician's slowed down, ballad style cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! He truly does the song much justice.
Take a listen!

Hey musicians and music producers! I’m interested in what, if any, other creative outlets/hobbies you’re into and how they influence your music.
For example, I’m into carpentry and it’s got me thinking of how different tools, materials and techniques can yield similar structural results but with different aesthetics.

mutual aid
Hi everyone. A couple of days ago, I compiled a list of #trans #artists, #musicians, #developers, #streamers, SWers, and various mutual aid seekers.
Today, we start the quest of raising money for them. I'm starting off with $50 for 20 people/organizations. If you are able, please give at one of the following links:
https://liberapay.com/TransIndexFund
https://www.gofundme.com/f/mutual-aid-for-various-trans-people
https://www.patreon.com/c/jessicadark
Proof of payouts will be posted at https://transfund.info later.
"Ultimately, we want artists to support themselves and know that there are other options out there: it’s not just streaming or nothing."
