AUDIBLE FARM'S BEGINNINGS
Audible Farm began in July of 2017 as a grassroots effort to film and record live performances from Iowa bands at clubs, bars, and venues across the state. What started with a passion for local music quickly grew into a platform dedicated to helping artists share their sound with a wider audience.
Founded by a lifelong musician with experience in a wide range of bands and genres, Audible Farm was built on a simple idea: many talented artists lack the resources, access, or opportunity to showcase their music outside of live events. By capturing live performances with a modest but capable recording setup, Audible Farm gave local bands a place to be seen and heard.
Each performance was recorded, filmed, edited, and published with the full support and permission of the artists involved. For many bands, it became an exciting opportunity to document their live show, reach new listeners, and become part of a growing community centered around independent music and creative collaboration.
THE AUDIBLE FARM PODCAST
Audible Farm expanded into podcasting with the launch of the Audible Farm Podcast in September 2018. Through conversations with the artists featured in the live sessions, it became clear that many local and regional musicians had limited opportunities to share their stories, experiences, and creative journeys in a meaningful way.
What began as an audio-only podcast has since evolved into a full multimedia production, now featuring video episodes designed to highlight the people behind the music. By launching a podcast, Audible Farm continues to build a platform dedicated to supporting independent artists and the local music community.
AUDIBLE FARM'S VIDEO PROJECTS
As the popularity of the podcast continued to grow, Audible Farm expanded its creative reach through video content on YouTube.
In addition to podcast episodes, the channel began featuring guitar refinishing projects, instrument modifications, music videos, behind-the-scenes content, and other creative productions centered around music and multimedia.
AUDIBLE FARM'S ONLINE SHOP
As the audience and community surrounding the project continued to grow, Audible Farm also launched an online store featuring branded merchandise including t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more — giving supporters another way to connect with and support the brand.
