Chelsea, bassist from the band AROARAH, turns 21 tonight. For the cost of $1, you get the chance to win her bass guitar! The concert and guitar raffle are at the Boardwalk, and all proceeds go to local charity. Four other bands are playing.

San Francisco Music Vibes of the 2000's PART ONE

July 23rd 2007 18:35
Today, I am going to post HALF of a chapter of the first book that I wrote. “SAN FRANCISCO MUSIC VIBES OF THE 2000’S” was released in 2005. I self-published this book due to the fact that the topic was not mainstream, and therefore the publishers which I initially contacted did not feel that it would be marketable. (Incidentally, I have sold more copies of this book, than of my other 6 titles!)

When I first took up the idea of becoming a writer, I decided that the first thing I would write about would be my favorite subject - today’s music scene in San Francisco. I contacted several of the district’s performers, each at varying stages in their career, and over half agreed to participate in an e-interview. I collected over two dozen of these across a time period of three months, and sandwiched the responses to the various questions between pieces of self-written text. I ended up with a book that I eventually took to a POD-printer. (A POD-printer is a service that prints each copy as it is ordered, therefore preventing the problem of too many, or too few, copies being produced

WELCOME! (overview)

July 6th 2007 20:32
Hi, I decided to blog about my favorite subject - the current day music scene in SF.

I first became interested in the music of this region about 5 years ago. I read a lot of books about the historical Hippie & Beatnik era, but could not find much literature on the current day scene. This lead me to interview a couple of dozen local performers and create a book on the topic myself. 'San Francisco Music Vibes of the 2000's' came out late 2005. I continue to follow the music of the area, particularly Indie/Alt bands, in most genres
