The Indie Music Podcast by alexrainbirdMusic

Today is a life update special! It's been almost two years since our last episode (thanks for your patience!), so we wanted to return to chat about all the big things that we've done, and what's coming up: specifically the show we co-hosted at Carnegie Hall in December 2023, our engagement and alexrainbirdSessions!
Plus, we give you a sneak peek at three of the amazing Sessions that are coming up in February 2024.
