I guess there's an ultra-hip, high-priced music/art festival going on in Austin, Texas, next week -- South-by-something-or-other.
What if you're a starving artist, paying mortgage and tuition, and you can't drop everything to head to Austin and spend the week rubbing elbows with movers and shakers, posting party selfies on Instagram and waiting in line for the restroom?
No worries! There's an alternative for the rest of us.
The folks at Couch by Couchwest have organized an online music festival that we all can enjoy from the comfort of our own living rooms. The concept is simple: Musicians submit videos and they are showcased online at the CXCW website from March 9th through the 15th. The cost to participate: $ 0.
Add to the fun: Mustache, taco and haiku contests and the chance to discover some undiscovered talent and you'll be delighted that you didn't fork over the big bucks in the Lone Star State.
Last year, Craig and I posted a video for our song "Reminds Me of You."
Another North State Songwriter, Jonathan Foster, played along last year with his video:
Look for brand spanking new videos for CXCW 2014 from Still Married and Jonathan Foster next week.
If you can't quite wait for your Jonathan Foster fix, the talented singer-songwriter has a couple gigs coming up. Catch him Saturday, March 8th, at the Post Office in Redding's Downtown Mall, starting at 8:30.
Jonathan will also bring his tunes to Kelly's Pub (2155 Hilltop Dr, Redding) on
Friday, March 21st, at 8. More details at Jonathan's website: JFMusic.net
