In simple terms: Music Coast is an independent music media company and community built around artists and live shows — festivals, tours, and the culture that happens in the crowd and behind the stage.
If you see Music Coast at a festival, we’re there as press: shooting photo galleries, filming interviews, and publishing recaps and stories that artists can share (and fans can relive).
On the site, you can browse everything by artist name using our Artist Index — find every photo album, interview, and article where an artist appears.
Artists use Music Coast for shareable media coverage. Fans use it to discover new music and keep up with the artists they love — all organized in one place.
Music Coast is expanding into an indie-first music streaming and community app — built to help fans discover music and help independent artists get heard.
Build playlists, follow artists, see artists’ scheduled live performances, listen offline, and more.
Led by people from the scene — focused on artists, fans, and festivals.
Shay drives the creative direction you see across Music Coast — interviews, editorials, and on-the-ground coverage — and leads the vision for the app launching in April 2026.
Dillon keeps the engine running — operations, systems, and partnerships — so coverage stays consistent and big ideas turn into real deliverables.
