As I’ve mentioned recently, I’ve been producing an upcoming release for the Nashville rock band, Kink Ador, which we’ll be putting out through my media company. Since I’ve been working with them, I thought I would mention a benefit show they’re going to be involved in this Sunday, October 16th (just two days from now).

PinkFest 2011
PinkFest is an annual event that benefits Women Rock For The Cure Rock*Pop*Fashion (fashion provided by Betsey Johnson in Nashville at Green Hills Mall) Artists include: The Vicious Guns, Baby Daggers, Kink Ador, Kendra Chantelle, Marlee Scott, Sarah Darling, The Lowry Sisters, Alexa Carter, Cissy Crutcher, Ya Za & Surprise Guests.

As the show is to support Women Rock For The Cure, naturally it only makes sense to have female-fronted bands and artists taking the stage. The full schedule of the line up is as follows:

5:15 The Lowry Sisters
6:00 Alexa Carter
6:30 Cissy Crutcher (Franklin Jazz Festival headliner; AvonVoices.com)
7:00 Marlee Scott (as seen on CMT)
7:30 Sarah Darling (as seen on CMT)
Special Presentation
8:30 Kendra Chantelle, from American Idol 2011
9:00 Kink Ador with Special Guest
9:45 Baby Daggers
10 until… The Vicious Guns and the grand finale!

When: This coming Sunday, October 16th at 5:00pm
Where: The Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville

I had hoped to post this Wednesday morning before I went into the studio, but it was a busy day of recording. Better late than never, yeah?

This Friday I’m going to be doing sound at a house show that the local Nashville band, The Summer Country, is putting on. Details are in the video above, but I’ll post them here as well…

Where: 537 Wedgewood Ave Nashville, TN
When: Friday, July 15th 8pm
Cost: $5 ($3 if you bring your own beer)
Bands: The Summer Country and The Grayces (two great local Nashville bands)

Well Next Big Nashville 2008 has officially kicked off. I attended two very inspiring discussion panels this morning. The first was titled The New Nashville: What Do We Need? The panelists discussed ideas for how to garner more awareness for Nashville as a rock music town. The discussion sparked a slew of ideas that I can’t wait to explore. The title for the second panel was Psychology and the Art of Artist Management. I soaked in a tremendous amount of knowledge from each panelist, who all have built a high caliber reputation beside the artists they work with.

Next on my list of events to attend is the Mother/Father set at Mercy Lounge tonite at 11pm. www.myspace.com/thisismotherfather. If you are planning to attend this show tonite, I hope that we can connect. Come up and say, “Hi.” I’ll be the guy dressed in all black operating a video camera (if the venue will let me).

I’ve got my personal schedule for the events I plan on attending posted here: nbn08.sched.org/stsn. I’ll also be posting my whereabouts and other various NBN riffs via my Twitter page. Follow me at twitter.com/stsn, for those interested. If you are going to be at any one of these events I’d love to connect with you, so again, please do come up and say, “Hi.”

I’m looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Hope to see you out there!
