	In This Issue of HereThere Indie Artists Making it Good *Due to the popularity of this issue, we are leaving it up throughout July/August. Look out for a new, amazing issue on September 1st!		May/June through July/August 2008 Issue 2

Music Features:

HereThere has expanded our Music section for this special issue on indie artists. By allowing our definition of indie artists to include all independent musicians, we were able to make room for feature articles from not only singer/songwriter Stephanie Dosen, but from members of the independent band, Firebug, and from independent composer Matthew Welch. Good stuff!

What's the difference between a Low-Spectrum Tour and a High-Spectrum Tour? As it turns out, the difference is darn pretty big. Stephanie Dosen tells us the truth about life as an indie on the road.

Matthew Welch is an independent composer whose main instrument is the bagpipe. That's right, the bagpipe. Intrigued? We were too.
