Instagram to launch ‘broadcast channels’ globally — what does this mean for musicians?

Are you listening to Kuntry yet?
If a good 90s R&B or dance groove is your thing, check out Kuntry. If you dig a modern disco vibe, check out Kuntry. If you want to experience this music as a cheeky, semi-autobiographical visual album, watch this.
And if you liked that, check out the artist live July 1st at Music Farm, Charleston, and elsewhere in Georgia, South Carolina, and Los Angeles this summer.
