Welcome to the Scene takes a candid and human look at the musicians of the indie rock/ emo scene of the early 2000s. Host Jeremy Houtsma, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, presents a free-flowing conversation that tends to go in inspiring and reflective paths that touch on a myriad of topics including mental health. The result is an intimate look at not just the music created but also the stories, history, and growth of these individuals. It's a whirlwind listen of nostalgia, inspiration, and insights into who these bands and people were and where they are now.
Jeremy Houtsma grew up around music and musicians. In his late teens he fell in love with the indie, DIY scene of the early 2000's emo/punk/post-hardcore scene. Now as a professional who asks questions and makes observations for a living (Licensed Mental Health Therapist) as well as a Dad and musician himself, Jeremy dives into the very same people who inspired him to find out what inspired them then and what inspires them now.
