The Scene, from Indiana Public Radio

This week we are turning back the pages and reminiscing on the great show that has been The Scene. The Scene is unfortunately ending after this season but we couldn’t leave without saying goodbye. Come hangout with past and current engineers as we celebrate The Scene and share stories from our time on air.

This week on The Scene, our producers will be featuring artists and bands that they have each worked with here on The Scene over the period of our last season. Given this is the last season of The Scene, we all enjoyed sitting down and listening to the various genres, and musical influences that Indiana has to offer. Join us!

Join us on this week's podcast episode where we'll be taking some time to look back and listen to some of the favorite tunes from Liam VanOverwalle’s time here on The Scene in a Liam’s choices episode. The lineup for this episode includes acts from Clint Breeze & the Groove, Seaux Chill, The Brothers Footman, Caleb McCoach, Jomberfox, Village Elder, and Lung.

For Paul’s choices episode, we will be featuring six different local Indiana artists and bands. Paul has been an engineer and producer for the scene for two seasons now. He will be sharing music from the start of his time as an engineer and producer back from season 11 up through season 12 of The Scene. On this episode we'll be featuring both pre-released music from Johnny Macc, Monarch, and Overlook. We will also be featuring  artists that have been recorded either live or in studio. This includes Porch Kat, Shoot Down the Sun, and Mickey Young. Tune in to get an inside scoop on Paul's choices and his time here on The Scene from Indiana Public Radio!

This week we are looking back on the time we shared with Scene Engineer Jacob Holtzman. Join us as he discusses and shares music from some of his favorite episodes. Come learn some behind the scenes info (no pun intended) and why being apart of The Scene meant so much to Jacob.

Tune in this week as we listen to KC King and Allison Victoria here on The Scene from Indiana Public Radio!

In this episode of the Scene, we're gonna be taking a look back and listening to a variety of rock music from some of the past artists featured on the scene for a special midwest rock variety rewind episode!  We’ll be diving into some music from bands like There are Ghosts, Dopacetics, and Blue Dream.

Our second of two featured artists on this week’s Homegrown series episode is Meghan Cristeen Martin & the 1900, an alternative Americana trio based in Indianapolis. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the newly formed band from 2020 had to refocus their efforts to best represent themselves as a trio. With releases such as Lydia, Too Much Noise, and The Garage Country demos, Meghan Cristeen Martin & the 1900 have been able to resurge as a local Indianapolis-based band. This performance was taken from the 2021 Garfield Park Arts festival. With elements of garage rock, Americana, and country, this performance is one that you do not want to miss!

Our first of two featured artists on this week’s Homegrown series episode is Native Sun, an Indianapolis-based band that intertwines traditional hip hop with gospel, rock, jazz, and soul. Led by bassist B Meeks, drummer Sleepy, and emcee B Young, Native Sun sets itself apart from other traditional hip-hop groups because of how they have implemented live instrumentation to beats and samples. Native Sun can be found on basecamp and on Facebook. This performance was recorded from the 2021 Garfield Park Arts Festival. With elements of soul, and the use of live instrumentation over traditional hip hop beats and samples, this live 2021 performance from Native Sun is one you do not want to pass up!

This week we are looking at Galaxy News Radio! A local band from Anderson, Galaxy News Radio was kind enough to sit down with us for an interview where we talk about origins of the band, recent live shows, and reminisce together on our recording session for The Scene. With good fun and better friends this is a fun episode to tune into!
