Nights & Weekends

This week, we’re talking with Katie Morey—musician, DIY veteran, and co-owner of Submarine School of Music—about what it takes to build something real in Rochester’s music scene. From booking basement shows to touring with Pleistocene, Katie’s been in it for the long haul. Now, she’s helping shape the next wave of musicians, creating a space where learning music feels as natural as making it. We get into her journey, the evolution of Rochester’s DIY scene, and what it means to keep pushing forward.

Rochester, New York has a vibrant music scene. The Sound Rochester was started to amplify this scene and create awareness of our musicians, foster connections, and promote live music events.

We started this podcast as an opportunity to sit down with local changemakers who are impacting our local music scene, from venue owners to artists to the musicians who are contributing their art.

Our conversation highlights the significance of collaboration and mutual support within the artistic community, emphasizing that the fabric of Rochester's culture is enriched by the contributions of both performers and those who support them behind the scenes.
