Looking for a little shot of optimism through the weeds of everyday life? Try this on for size:
“And if you let go, let go
You may fall face down
But you know, you know
You are not alone on the ground
Let the trust fall catch you now”

Anyway, onto this week’s Sunday Replay…
Our Official Podcast, The Quinn Spinn, covers so much more than music. We take on the life lessons that shape our journeys, creatively and otherwise.

It’s Halloweekend. So, naturally, we need to celebrate with something seasonally appropriate.
Hear ‘Night Terrors’
This week’s Songs You Should Hear come in a variety of flavors.
We’ve got a grab bag of sounds and moods for you — from the sweet and tender, to the gritty and edgy, to the dynamic and upbeat. Variety is the spice of life, so let’s waste no time in keeping things spicy.

Every musician has a story to tell, and the opportunity to communicate that story to the masses in the digital age. There are countless media outlets – from independent blogs and podcasts, all the way up to nationally- and globally-recognized publications – that could serve as a launching pad to build awareness for your artistry. Even so, most artists – especially those toward the beginning of their creative journeys – don’t know where to begin.
That’s where I come in! As the founder of UMC and the architect of our Perfect Your Pitch course, I have received thousands upon thousands of music submissions over the years. With that, I have teamed up with Music on the Move Studios, compiling my near-decade of experience as an independent media creator to offer you some tips on how to make sure your pitch stands out above the rest.
We love it when you make it tough on us. That means it’s been a good month.
Independent musicians of the world brought the heat all month long, and you should all be proud of yourselves for doing such high-quality work. Our UMC20 Best of October compilation is but a sample of the many sonic landscapes we admired this month. We invite you to take them in alongside us!

We’re partnering with The Cobra Nashville (2511 Gallatin Ave., Nashville) to bring you the 2023 NashLive! Cobra Series, six unique live music experiences featuring independent artists from Music City — and perhaps, beyond! These bi-monthly showcases are aimed toward building community, by providing opportunities to artists and creatives of varying genres and disciplines.

We’re all about keeping things in balance these days, and that reflects in some of the recent conversations on our Official Podcast, The Quinn Spinn.
There’s a time to turn on the jets and go full-force toward your vision. There’s also a time to take a step back to rest, reflect, and refill your cup. Both modes are a part of the creative journey, and you can’t sustainably have one without the other.
