My husband and I have co-hosted The Basement Tapes with Nick and Bootsy for 12 years. We started on local FM (Rolla, MO) and played original music by local artists. Several years ago, we started streaming online from home. Over time, we realized that EVERYBODY is local to somewhere and as a result, we expanded our range to local music Earth and have played music from across the globe. There is some AWESOME new music out there in a variety of genres. On our show, it’s been increasingly hard to share songs online without getting hit with copyright strikes even when we’re playing songs that we got directly from the artist, their management/promotion team or independent label. We’re very small players in a very big game, one that’s getting harder and harder to play.
