Welcome to The Back Lounge

I am creating a new, independent online home for my music work in 2025. This will be a hub for stories, podcasts, events and newsletters, as well as your chance to reach me directly and help shape the direction of my coverage of independent music (don’t worry, my New York Times and Rolling Stone work is going nowhere — this project aims to make all of that easier).
