This Friday, July 22nd, 4PM (PST), I will be re-starting my Online Concert Series.
It may have been a year since the last online show, but I’m bringing it back: My Live Stream Studio Concert. This is the studio where I compose music, record albums and this is also where I practice. It’s a comfortable spot and I like to take chances and test-fly pieces of audio-tech that I might not try in other settings.
it all started…
Over the past couple of years, I streamed a bunch of Solo Guitar Shows, which are still the core of what you may hear. I was also joined by several very special guests. My friend guitarist/ vocalist Ruth Parry and I first started out streaming our duo guitar gig from a cafe that happened
to have free wifi. I streamed my Atmos Trio gigs. Touring musicians caught wind of the show and when they were traveling through my area, they’d come play. That’s how I ran in to the good fortune of playing with electric bassists Damian Erskine and Todd Johnson. I even recorded an entire album on the show w/ Steve Uccello.
This time it will be different.
This time, I’m inviting you to join in a more real way. Rather than play to the unblinking eye of the camera, I’ll be able to see you too!
Nine front-row seats will be available via my Google Plus Hangout. There you’ll be able to see, hear, be seen and be heard just as if we were all in the same physical space. (Except here, if you need to sneeze really loud, you can mute your mic.) Want to know what song that was or what effect I have on my guitar? You just ask and I’ll answer. Your free to come and go but if you leave, someone else may take your seat.
When the hangout gets full…
I will also be streaming the Hangout to my Video Page and my Ustream Channel so that more than just the original 10 (me and 9 others) can be there. On Ustream, you can watch and listen and communicate w/ those of us in the hangout via Usteam’s chat module, twitter (#GPlusConcert), or a designated G+ thread.
This will al happen on Friday July 22nd 4PM (PST)/ 7pm (EST). Let’s hangout.
