Last Weekends Event Recap

Posting this much much later than I usually do but I would like to take some time this evening while listening to Didgerod and post my recap of the 12 hour MusicFest that Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show and I hosted last Saturday.

First of all let me say once again how much I appreciate all the musicians that came out as well as the audience. You guys (and gals) rock!

We started off the event with the promo video and our good friend Rob Mazurek's version of the Star Spangled Banner. Deb and I kicked off the show with a little commentary and music before we brought on our first musician of the day. One of the things we touched on is that while preordering for Rob's new CD is closed, his music will be available in late October on I-Tunes. Rob's website is http://www.robmazurekmusic.com go check it out!

At 12:30 we handed it off to musician Kelly Hoyle Fuller. She's played on our regular shows over the last couple of weeks, and has become a huge fan favorite as well as part of our regular group on blogtv. She's really a phenomenal musician and a great person as well. Kelly always puts together a first class performance and last Saturday was no exception.

I have a couple of clips of her performance on my show recorded and it's available on my blogtv page as well.

Our next musician was Ciarán Brennan from Ireland (ronb15). When we did our last event in June we had connection issues with him and it didn't go so well. I'm happy to report that it went much much better this time, his set was totally awesome and I was really happy we were able to get him on again.

The next musician to play was Jesse Stutsman. He played during one of our events last year, and we thought he was awesome then. Some things only get better with time and Jesse's music is one of them. Incredible talent, awesome music. When you check out his youtube link pay special attention to the lyrics of some of his songs.

After Jesse we took a bit of a break from the live music and played some of the music that Deb and I usually play during our shows. Shortly thereafter we had our good friend Jim Cook come on and share some really awesome Native American music. Jim never fails to amaze and inspire.

John Daly came on shortly thereafter. He kept saying he was a "little rusty" but you would never have known it. He put on a really great performance (as always) and was a huge hit with the audience. I'd forgotten about his quirky sense of humor and what fun he is to have on a show!

After John we had our first (and only) newcomer to the event. Tom Meny came on and played some of the most heartfelt music I've heard in a while. Really great guy he really put on a great set. I look forward to seeing him more at future events! Right now he's recording his first CD at Wonderland Studios in Austin, TX.

We closed out the event with our good friend (and blogtv favorite) Didgerod. Despite the technical difficulties (which had plagued us off and on all day) he put together a masterful performance. It was a great way to close out the show, leaving refreshed and relaxed. Be sure to check out his regular show every Friday night at 9 pm (eastern) you won't be disappointed!

Last Weekend's Shows

Hey everyone,

Ok time for a real blog. I ended up doing two shows last weekend. How it happened was Deb and I were doing a test show with one of the musicians that will be playing at the event on August 21st. The musician pointed out that we had put in a music playing mood so we figured what the hell.

So we did a surprise show Saturday, along with the regular show on Sunday and our musical guest both nights was Kelly Hoyle Fuller (here's her youtube link) and she is awesome. My thanks for all the folks who came out this weekend to both shows, it was a blast.

I recorded some of her playing on the Sunday show as well, you can go to my blogtv channel and check out some of her music there as well. We had a great time hanging out with her, she's a lot of fun and a really talented musician. Like I mentioned before she's also going to be at the Indie Music Fest that Deb and I are hosting on the 21st of August.

Also during the show I recorded a video where I think I've figured out why sometimes people don't get the email notifications when shows start on blogtv.

If you aren't getting your email notifications when shows you've subscribed to on blogtv you might see why in this video.

Show notes;

Sunday's show is going well, we're on every Sunday night at 9 (eastern) and I hope ya'll join us.

Don't forget we'll be hosting another 12 hour music event on the UnleashedAgain channel on blogtv on August 21st starting at noon (eastern). We have a great line up of musicians coming on to play and hope you join us.

Show Notes and Updates

Last Sunday Deb from Unsigned Musicians and our good friend Rob Mazurek (known on blogtv as the Dasperminator) had a very interesting round table discussion about ASCAP's letter to their musicians telling them to not license their music under Creative Commons because that lets people steal it.

As we pointed out during the show nothing could be further from the truth. If anything CC provides the musicians a way to license their music without having to either go all out and put it in the public domain, or have to direct license the music. They do not lose their rights under copyright. CC protects them because depending on which CC license they use there are at least some rights reserved.

Good show, I've been uploading a couple of clips a day onto the IndieSpotlightLive youtube channel, and the show in it's entirety is still available on my blogtv page and will be so until tomorrow evening.


------------------------------------------------------------
Updates;

Unless Kyron Horman is found (and that would be some freaking awesome news) my friend Jude who runs the childseeknetwork site and the Missing Kyron Horman Facebook page will be on the show to talk about the case. I do believe we'll have another guest who is working on this case with her as well but as of yet they are unconfirmed.

Deb and I are putting together another music event, this one will be a 12 hour all original, all indie show hosted over on the UnleashedAgain channel on blogtv starting at 12 noon eastern time on August 21st.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Indie MusicFest 2010 this Saturday June 12th

Hey everyone.

As I've mentioned in previous blogs Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show and I will be hosting another event this coming Saturday. This time instead of rallying behind a cause we'll be focusing on just the music.

The idea of this event is that it will be an extension of our shows, which is to find some awesome musicians, and give them some exposure. To that end we have invited musicians that generally haven't been a part of our previous events with a few encore performances from past guests thrown in. Right now the way it is shaping up it's going to be totally awesome.

Join us this Saturday June 12th starting at noon (eastern US time) for 12 hours of music and fun. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Here is the page the event will be broadcasted on...
