Looking for new guitarist ( Lead/Rhythm) with Killer vocals

Well I have been totally unsuccessfull at finding a drummer but after doing some mixing in the studio I have come to the decision that it is for more important to get another Guitarist with Killer backing vocals to add a new dimension to the group. Tell your friends and family and if you know any ... And I mean Anyone that fits this part then e-mail me.
On another front:
I am playing at the Festival of Trees on Nov. 29, 2008 at 5:30 pm So come on out and support a fantastic event. Speaking of support, please go to http://roomtoread.org and give as much support as you can. It is an organization that is dear to me and I would like it to be dear to you too. Edmonton is opening their new chapter on Nov 22, 2008 and if you are interested in getting involved you can reach their web info through the Room to Read link.
I'll be in Chicago from the 15 th to the 23rd of Nov./2008 and performing at Cubby's in Chicago on the 18th of Nov./2008 so drop by and say hi.
Until later

What's up with Big Rock Untapped

Well, according to the rules of the contest to Big Rock Untapped the voting should be over. But every body is still voting ! What is the deal ! Let's move on.... I am still practicing with my Bass player and still looking to get a guitarist and Drummer. I can't find any one. I auditioned for the CFR singing contest and apparently I was not good enough. I got to see my friend Samantha King. There was no reason why I was not selected so I am not going to dwell on it.
Other than that there is not much going on musically. I have been thing about sitting in with Looking East which is a Hot Rock from Edmonton, Alberta.
I am going to Chicago in November to perform and then I am off to New Orleans over the Holiday and doing a couple of gigs there too. The new CDs are coming along SLOWLY because I am nursing them. I need to get them out the door.
Until Later

Where does a new Artist turn ?

OK I have been reading books, watching DVDs, and asking for advice from all kinds of sources. Everything that I have read leads to the following results:

3 major groups

1.) Major Labels - Don't count on having any help from the these guys because it is not going to happen. Do not expect them to help you to get any where that you are not.

2.) Any one who can help you won't unless you don't really need the help. Kind of the same thing with borrowing money. Everyone has heard the phrase that banks don't lend money to people who need the money they lend money to people who have the money. 3.) Artist like myself who are trying to make it and are confused as to how to get into that inner circle. It is frustrating and confusing at best of times.

So where does a new Artist turn ? If I seriously had the answer I would be a Millionaire. But some places to turn are:

1.) Tom Jackson at Tom Jackson Productions

2.) Eugene Foley and his Book Artist Development Google it !

At risk of stepping on a few toes, I have to say that the Music Industry has become an Elitist society. This elitism comes from being accepted into the inner circle and then telling ones self that "I have earn this attitude. There is nothing wrong with that. I am sure that when I make it big and I will make it big I will foster the same Elitist attitude. As a matter of fact I am now rehearsing for that big day. Every where I go I make sure that people know that I am a recording Artist and I deserve special treatment. I want to make that when I make it will not be out of place by having the wrong attitude. Because when everything is all said and done the only person we can turn to is ourselves. If fact that is the only person who will tell us the truth , we can rely on , and depend. At least in this Industry. So remember trust yourself and believe in yourself. That alone will get you a lot further then believing anyone else in the Industry and waiting for any one to come and help you. You have the gift of music within your soul. Trust it and let it take you to new heights.

Until later Emo
