Local Indie Artist Network

Hosted by musicians Danny Schmitz and Geoff Slater from the band Lost In A Name, the Local Indie Artist Network podcast is a series of conversations pulled from the heart of a creative community. Each episode sits down with a different local artist to pull back the curtain on the actual work of making music and building a life around it. The talk is practical and meandering, covering the small victories, the frequent frustrations, and the endless speculation about what could come next. You’ll hear about promotion strategies that flopped, recording sessions that took unexpected turns, and the constant balancing act between artistic vision and real-world logistics. It’s a candid look at the do-it-yourself ethos, where successes are rarely overnight and the path is never straight. Naturally, these discussions often happen with a craft beer in hand, adding a layer of relaxed, unfiltered camaraderie to the exchange. This isn’t about distant industry legends; it’s the grounded, immediate wisdom and commiseration found among peers navigating the same local circuits. Tune in for a sense of connection, a few laughs, and the shared understanding that comes from talking about what works, what doesn’t, and what might.
