The person on the right has short dark hair and is wearing a black leather jacket. In the softly focused background, several other attendees are standing and talking. The dimly lit venue features warm overhead pendant lighting and walls densely covered with music posters and band stickers.

No Clubs Presents‘ industry-focused panel series have spent the last five months inviting local bands, songwriters, managers, venue owners—anyone connected to the local music ecosystem—to come together and talk about what makes (and breaks) the scene.

Past talks have tackled touring and booking, marketing and press, legal and distribution.

This one taps some of the Bay area’s most prominent DIY promoters and event curators—including Babefest’s Angela Page, Lost Creation’s Ian Tuma and Indie Night Live’s Andres Hernandez—to talk about creating your own lane.

The discussion will be moderated by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Editor-In-Chief Ray Roa.

There’s no cover, but an RSVP is requested, to attend Scene & Heard: DIY & Making Your Own Space at Crowbar in Ybor City on Wednesday, June 10.

Scene & Heard: DIY & Making Your Own Space

Time Wed., June 10, 6:30 p.m.
