b'After becoming interested in how bands from across the country were able to form a tight-knit Do-it-Yourself or DIY, community, Marissa Jerden decided to combine her love of music and journalism to investigate her own local community. The result was \\u201cThe Living Room Experience\\u201d which explores the origin of DIY music and Raleigh\\u2019s own vibrant music scene. She interviewed multiple \\u201cDIY venue\\u201d owners and local bands to put together a comprehensive look at how local music not only survives, but thrives below the mainstream surface because of interpersonal connections and dedication to art.'
