Mike Schwartz: Scenes don't scale, they spread. Welcome back to MusicFit Radio. I'm Mike the Schwartz Creator of the MusicFit Method. And today we're breaking down how the underground actually works. Yo, thanks for tuning in to today's episode.

When people think about a music scene, they think about a place, a venue, a city, a moment in time. But real scenes aren't built like that. They're built through people and the relationships between them. Be sure to head over to wherever you heard this show and give it a five star rating and review as that truly does help us get into more people's ears who think the current system is the only way. It's not. know this. Playing for pennies is a choice. Playing with pain is also a choice. There is another way and it's folks just like you who can make it happen. So you know what to do. And if you are So instead of one centralized system, the underground is built in districts, different parts of the city, different hubs, different energy. Each one has its own venues, its own people, its own identity, but they're all connected. This isn't about massive shows, it's about small rooms, real conversations, actual connection, shows, pop-ups, sessions, things that feel like you had to be there because you did.
