Now more than ever, musicians exist on the fringes of society, often unnoticed and unappreciated. Yet they are always there in the background, providing the soundtrack for everyday life. The Fringe Collective Podcast will give you their stories. Hi, I’m Michael J. Johnson, and this is my new podcast, the Fringe Collective Podcast. You may be familiar with my podcast Frequencies, but this format is going to be a bit different. I will be interviewing indie bands and artists as well as working musicians. Whether you are an aspiring musician or musical artist, a seasoned professional, or an avid music fan who is interested in knowing a bit more about what happens behind the scenes, this is the podcast for you. Our first full episode, which will premiere in a matter of days, will feature the young up-and-coming hard rock band Flight of Fire. Check out their music on Spotify or Apple Music, or visit their website at www.flightoffire.com if you want to check them out ahead of time. These amazing, talented women gave me more than an hour of their time, and spoke candidly about their journey. I can’t wait for everybody to hear it! So, please subscribe, share with your friends, and join us in a few days for my interview with Flight of Fire. See you soon!
