First Gig With the Band

May 28, 2010 in Music

I was contacted this week by Antioch Art Connection, a cool venue I’d played early in the year. One of their acts for today (Friday, May 28th) had cancelled and they asked if I could filled in.

I, in turn contacted the band and said let’s do it. We are planning on STREAMING IT LIVE as well.

We had rehearsed the weekend prior and I had gotten together earlier that day with two of the guys to cover some of the songs. Our first performance is supposed to be June 11th but I felt, “no time like the present!” and decided whether we just did 3 songs – or a couple more, I want the band to make an appearance.

and activity to TheSongwriterOnline.com

November 24, 2009 in Music, songwriting

Plans and connections for 2010 are shaping up.

One of the items on my plan – a logical next step – is for me to open for some more established acts. I am still booking some shows on my own and will be announcing some house concerts in the next several weeks but am also starting discussions with some booking agents about opening for one or more of their acts..
