This episode is from a Substack Live we did on March 10th, 2025, where we discussed Chuck Marshall's nonprofit, GIG: The Art of Michigan Music, which he started to showcase and support the visual artists involved in the Michigan music scene.

Chuck also talked about Life in Michigan, the website and newsletter he runs with his wife, Brenda, which focuses on local beer, music, and travel in Michigan.

They discussed their move to Substack for their newsletter and the positive, more community-focused experience compared to social media.

Finally, we touched on the thriving local Michigan music scene, the abundance of talented artists, and the role of curation in helping people discover new music - because new music is great!
