Kristin Birt has been a passionate explorer of the local music scene in Boise, Idaho since the Covid lockdown. She is the host of a weekly program on Radio Boise called Up in Your Mind Flowers, a music photographer, founder of the magazine B-Side and has just opened a store called Foggy Notion. To gain insight into the local music scene, Birt conducted a survey with local artists, asking them what they considered to be the biggest obstacle for them. The survey results revealed that many bands and styles have come out of the area but felt that they couldn't make their way anywhere on the scene.
In response to this issue, Kristin Birt has created an amazing website that is quite comprehensive about the Boise music scene and will also expand the information on the entire Treasure Valley. This website provides information about upcoming events, interviews with local artists, reviews of albums and more. It also provides resources for women and non-binary people who are interested in getting involved in the local music scene. These resources include information about local venues, organizations and networks that support women and non-binary people in music.
The website also provides advice for those who are just starting out in the music industry. This includes tips on how to network, promote your music and build an audience. Additionally, it provides information about grants and other funding opportunities available to women and non-binary people in music. Overall, Kristin Birt's website is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Boise music scene.
It provides a wealth of information about upcoming events, resources for women and non-binary people in music, advice for those just starting out and more. By providing this information, Birt is helping to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all members of the local music community.
