Looking to do a small personal website that will keep folx up-to-date on new music releases I put out, events I’m hosting, and random ramblings.
Curious as to what options are out there - free and easy to use would be ideal set up.

I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
Totally forgot about Drupal and Joomla for CMSs. Its been along time for me since I have worked on a Drupal site, but I do remember it being pretty easy to pick up.

I think the new Drupal CMS install profile + Recipes via the Project Browser makes Drupal MUCH easier to maintain than WP for anyone already familar with Composer or other package managers like npm, gem, homebrew, etc
The idea that most WP sites (that aren’t hosted by WP.com) are still maintained by downloading the plugin files from WP.org and then uploading the files to the site blows my mind.
It’s even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don’t have to download and then upload anything.
In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.
