Let's Play Ten: The indie and DIY music we love and why we love it.
Hosts MP and Ben each pick 5 new songs from 5 different DIY/Small Label artists, and then one deeper track from an older release. We’ll discuss a little bit about each artist and try our best to be as entertaining as all heck for our listeners (we have stories). We DO NOT & WILL NOT monetize this podcast or it’s content, and we WILL NOT be adding sponsors of any sort at any time for our financial gain. We both just want to support artists we love and offer some help in any way we can. Our goal audience is musicians, artists, and fans like yourself and strengthening the music community through an honest and passionate podcast that is all about the art.
Lets Play Ten secures the necessary permissions from the copyright holders, and we purchase the music that we play. Created and hosted by: 40ficreations.com
