There are musicians
that make it big, the ones you hear on the radio and see on MTV
, then there are the others you don't hear of that often. Most are called Indies.Indies are independent artists or bands that are not on a major label. Some are striving for this major label
break, others chose not to. But all want their music heard. Just how does an indie get their music out to the public? They play at every club, festival
, and coffee house they can find, sometimes for free or even paying to play. They sell their CDs at these events, and give them to friends and family, hoping that someone will play them for their friends.
