Touring 2035: Why Your Next Fanbase Will Come From a Wallet, Not a ZIP Code
Making a Scene Presents - Touring 2035: Why Your Next Fanbase Will Come From a Wallet, Not a ZIP CodeThe touring world you know is collapsing. That old-school strategy of drawing lines on a map, circling major cities, and hoping enough people show up to cover gas is fading fast. For decades, touring was built on guesswork and geography. But the next era of touring won’t be about cities at all. It will be shaped by something far more powerful and far more honest: blockchain wallets. These wallets hold tokens, smart tickets, digital credentials, and little pieces of fan loyalty that tell you exactly where your true community lives long before you ever pack a van. The touring map of 2035 will be drawn by clusters of fans who have already proven they care, not by the ZIP codes a promoter says might be “good markets.”

Why Web3 Touring Collectives Will Replace Booking Agents
Making a Scene Presents - Why Web3 Touring Collectives Will Replace Booking AgentsHow Indie Artists Can Use DAOs, Fan-Powered Ticketing, and Community Spaces to Build Tours Without GatekeepersThe music industry likes to pretend that touring is some kind of secret science only insiders understand. Booking agents act like they hold magic keys. Venues act like they own every path to a stage. Promoters act like they decide who deserves to play. But if you talk to indie artists long enough, you learn the truth. The system isn’t complicated. It’s controlled. And Web3 is about to tear that control down to the foundation.

Gerry Casey's Interview with Pierre Lacocque of Mississippi Heat!
Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Pierre Lacocque of Mississippi Heat!On the back cover of Mississippi Heat’s album Footprints On the Ceiling, there’s a photo of a man playing harmonica with such intensity you can almost hear the music in the silence of the still image. That man is Pierre Lacocque—the band’s founder, bandleader, and principal songwriter. What that photo suggests is exactly what his music delivers: a harmonica voice full of fire, soul, and emotion.

How to Use ChatGPT to Analyze Your Mix and Make It Better
Making a Scene Presents - How to Use ChatGPT to Analyze Your Mix and Make It BetterThe New Secret Weapon for Indie Artists Mixing at HomeMixing your music at home shouldn’t feel like guesswork. But most indie artists know the feeling. You sit in front of your speakers, you start turning knobs, and you hope for the best. Some days everything sounds muddy. Other days your vocals feel harsh and thin. Maybe your kick drum disappears on phone speakers. Maybe you’re scared to even compare your mix to a real release because you don’t want to hear how far off it is.
