My old band @sundayflood is knocking off the dust and playing a gig at the end of November. Here’s me playing guitar standing up for the first time in over a decade. Lots of practice ahead of me…🤘🎸

There are people who follow me, like my posts, even retweet them, but have never submitted music to the Indie Music Showcase. I'd like to hear from you: why not? Is it because your music doesn't fit the guidelines or some other reason? Submissions are closed for this week but I'm always interested in having new artists join the show, so I'd like to know if there are roadblocks I'm unaware of.
