Building a Legacy of Local Support
Talk of the Town 617 has been active for almost three years, and in that time, it has become a cornerstone of Boston’s local creative community. What started as a cypher and showcase in the 90s-style tradition has blossomed into a multifaceted platform that promotes local businesses, artists, and creators. The core mission of Talk of the Town 617 is simple: shine a light on local talent, no matter their craft. From vendors to chefs, musicians, and entrepreneurs, Talk of the Town 617 supports anyone who’s committed to their craft.
The platform quickly became a go-to resource for Boston’s creatives, expanding its reach with regular podcasts, live outside interviews, and event pop-ups. Their ability to connect with and support local creators led them to launch TheYCounted Us Out Tour—a perfect reflection of their mission to support and uplift indie artists at every stage of their journey.
By putting on this self-managed tour, Talk of the Town 617 is showing that it’s possible for indie artists to take charge of their own destinies without relying on big labels or commercial backing. The platform’s focus on empowering artists to control their narratives and connect directly with their audiences is a game-changer. With every stop on the tour, they’re building a legacy of unity, empowerment, and resilience for indie musicians everywhere.
As TheYCounted Us Out Tour wraps up in New York City this November, it’s clear that Talk of the Town 617 is just getting started. Their commitment to local talent and their passion for building community has made them one of the most influential platforms in the indie scene today. Whether you’re catching them in Brooklyn or Manhattan, or waiting for the next event, Talk of the Town 617 is paving the way for the future of music, one tour stop at a time.
