Indie911's "Indie Icons" podcast brings you perhaps the greatest example of an independent artist who has succeeded on his own, making his music and running his career his own way: the legendary MARTIN SEXTON.

As the frontman of the band Candlebox, Kevin Martin sold over 5 million records. The group catapulted him to the top of the modern-rock radio charts in the the '90's. Martin has since moved on to create his own indie record label, Tympanic Records, and front his own project: KEVIN MARTIN & THE HIWATTS. Released on Tympanic Records, the band's debut album, 2002's "The Possibility of Being", features 11 tracks all or which are co-written and arranged by Martin. Here is the second track off of that album, "If I Could".

WILLIE NELSON is an artist who defies all boundaries of the music business. Nelson's sense of accessability and small town generosity of spirit belie the fact that he has sold over 32 million records and released over 100 albums. A guitar god and a lyrical master, Nelson has been on the road playing to his dedicated fans for the better part of 40 years now. Past 70 years old, Nelson still draws huge audiences, and still releases albums. Justin Goldberg caught up with Willie Nelson during a telephone call prior to his performace at the 2003 South By Southwest Festival in Austin, TX. The two discuss the state of the music industry, as well as Willie's storied career.

Largely via word of mouth, indie911 has quickly evolved into one of the most popular music destinations on the Internet

Our philosophy is based on the fundamental principal that the majority of independent artists have not had a realistic ability to achieve commercial success because of the control and influence that major labels have held over the industry. With online changes in the music industry, independent artists are now able to be a part of a new network. indie911 is driven by a committment to the artistic community. Please join us!
