Steve Madewell has been performing music for a long time. He has observations to share and stories to tell from a myriad of interesting life experiences as an o
This afternoon I was supposed to be performing at a lovely venue, for a seated, listening audience. It was the first time I felt really melancholy about the status of things. My family and friends are all OK and for this I am grateful. We will all have to find a "new normal".
Always a thrill to hear one of your songs on the radio! Thank You Caroline Quine and Bill Lestock for putting “One Thing At a Time” together with me. https://t.co/FP6fbRYd0L https://t.co/ZAw3GmhtCs
I’ve done a few FB live performances, many musicians are. It’s a trip. You R just hanging out there. We R used to interacting with an audience but the drive to connect to people compels performers to make this effort.Thank you for what you do to make a connection. It’s important.
Since so many of us are hanging at home, I anticipate doing another live vid from “Shorty’s Creekside Corona Cantina” on FB @ 8:00 PM EST tonight 3/20/20. You might find that headphones or earbuds enhance your listening experience. FYI I’ll be doing all original stuff!
Many friends/musicians are doing what they do. They may not be getting paid yet figuring out how to live streams, pod cast, Youtube vids. Music is a gift to share, to help express emotion, complex feelings, things that are difficult to say, or have multiple meanings. Thank you!
First canceled gig notice last night, another at 9:00 AM. So tonight at 7:30 I will do Facebook live. Hopefully, I have the audio dialed in so it should sound OK. However, I can’t guarantee the performance and I can’t do anything about how I look, though I did trim my beard. LOL
Got a gig tomorrow with the Dive Kings at a fun neighborhood tavern, and just up loaded a handful of tunes on the website. Got a few more to work through before mastering and production. https://t.co/ze5hV85Pdv https://t.co/ZAw3GmhtCs
Had a great time at the Midwest Region Folk Alliance conference and will write up a Pedestrian Ramblings article for the North Coast Voice summarizing the value of engaging with your peeps. Speaking of peeps, tonight I was with Bill Lestock sorting through some tunes!
Enjoying some stellar performances at the Folk Alliance Midwest Region (FARM) Conference in Grand Rapids. Performing a few showcases but mostly taking things in. Thinking about the “business” of music. I have known so many players, only a few have embraced the business.
While waiting for a FEDEX delivery, I typed and posted a "Pedestrian Ramblings". Some folks seem to enjoy reading my broken thoughts!
Tonight the Madewell Music and the Dive Kings will be at Debonne at 6:00, pls stop by!
