Life of a solo musician.

I have played music around the DFW area for 10 years. It amazes me how difficult it is to get a replies back from venues, even after you have played there a few times and they really like your music. Don't get me wrong, I know there is more than a few solo musicians looking for a gig in the area....but sometimes it can be 6 months. My policy is, I will continue to email you until one of two things...either you book me or you tell me my services are no longer needed. I would like to start a coalition of solo singer songwriters. I feel there is no true representation for us. Most booking agents are interested in bands. That is where the money is for them and I can't blame them. But, there has to be a spot for us solo people. If any of you know a someone that actually has the best interest of solo performers in mind when booking, please let me know. I am not upset with booking agents or venues. I can only imagine the number of bands and musicians you are inundated with on a daily or weekly basis. But, I want to play and if I am told I am good and my music is good then I believe I am good. So, book me!! :) Peace Love and music Rg

This was my weekend

So, this is how I spent my weekend. Started with a trip to Ikea on Saturday....I don't recommend a trip to Ikea on a Saturday....ever. But, when you're with your best friend it makes it a lot more entertaining. Around 7pm I started my gig at Rusty's Tacos. There was a small but welcoming group eating outside. Earlier before that gig I got a call from my Kim Nall who play with Levi Cobb and The Big Smoke. Their opening act cancelled and she asked if I could fill in. I asks what time. She said I needed to be there around 8:30. I played my set at Rusty's.....got my two free taco's ....drove them to the house and placed them gently in the fridge. I then drove to Banter for my second gig of the evening. It was a very good evening there. The crowd was amazingly responsive to all my original songs. Around 11:55pm I read about a Singer Songwriter Showdown at Queen City Music Hall in Fort Worth on Sunday evening. I took a chance and sent an email not really expecting to get in on that days list. The next morning I woke up to an email saying I could take the last time slot at 7:20pm. Of course I said yes. I got here early (my normal) and ran into Luke Wade at the door. We talked a bit and then I was shown where I would be playing by Amy. It turned out to be a great night of singer songwriters and I was able to meet and talk to some very nice people. All in All a great weekend. Peace Love Music Rg
