So many new opportunities for Vancouver artists!

There are so many new events cropping up in Vancouver - I have been posting them up as they come along over at NXEW.ca, and here is another one and they are still looking for both performers as well as sponsors so do help them out however you can - together we're making Vancouver artist friendly again, connecting artists with new 'all ages' fan bases ~ outside of the club environment!

Danny Echo BBQ? Well that sounds fun!

One sweet tweet is all it takes - Tweet HERE!

Business is Business....

...And what relates to one field, more often than not, can be applied to the business of music.

Here is a great series with four of my favorite guys - lots of juicy information in here. Do take some time and see how these lives parallel yours.

Learn laughing!

The Start of The Art

I'm lucky I'm old, because I have had the pleasure to be a part of many 'starts'. First steps, first words, first songs; the first time the art comes from the heart of the artist.

If you have experienced this you know, this is the life.

Starts are new and scary and messy, but there is something about the first time of anything special, that people will always try to re-create (can you say sequel?).

We're fortunate to live in a time when so many people have the opportunity to live out their artistic dreams, and we're even more fortunate to be privy to the process.

Grab an artist at the start of their art and join them on the ride.
