How the Boogie let's me find new artists
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 5:30 pm
I fielded a few questions this year on why we usualy don't see repeat artists at the Boogie.
I have to admit at one point I thought the same. Mind you, I'm not staff per se, a follower as are you, but,
I am glad they don't. Each year, I find X artists I have never heard of before, and I am so glad that Brad and Mike take the time to put together such an interesting mix. Something for all.
This year, to me personally, being a photographer in the pit, I loved Bernard's vocals and harmonics. Awesome. I took lessons on guitar at age 7, (that's 1966) and was trained classically. I closed my eyes at times in the pit and listened to his octaves, both guitar AND VOICE. WOW.
So, being a subscriber to Pandora, I started a Bernard Allison station. In the first day, I heard Joe Bonamassa, and then Joe Kelly Phelps.
If you have not heard of these folks, stop what you are doing and search them on You Tube NOW.
Seriousely.
So,
I am wondering, should I create a board on this forum about artists you got to check out? Mind you, it's not to suggest what they should have, just, what we should listen to.
