Artist Across America
Mapping the sound, soul, and signal of independent music across America. This project tracks artists, scenes, roots, and cultural geography while connecting music discovery to the bigger mission of Raw Guts Records and Breaking The News Barrier.
The Mission
Artist Across America is a living music intelligence layer. It begins as a clean artist ingest system, then grows into profiles, scene directories, regional discovery, and eventually a broader cultural map of artists who break barriers and carry real signal.
Track where artists come from, where scenes grow, and how regional culture shapes the sound.
Use this directory as an asset for outreach, storytelling, recruitment, editorial planning, and artist discovery.
Organize artist records in a scalable structure that can power maps, filters, profile pages, and future expansion.
Turn this from a starter page into state pages, artist profiles, map interfaces, and a full music geography platform.
Featured Artists
These cards load directly from your JSON file, which means this page can grow without you rewriting the HTML every time.
Artist Map
This live map reads the same JSON file as your artist cards, so your cards, filters, and mapped artist locations stay in sync.
