Already 2013 is getting busy with Seattle's jazz/world music scene. Great that everyone is gigging! I want to remind musicians how important it is to put a short phrase or sentence that describes your music in your event listing. I know it's tempting to think that "everyone" already knows us, but guess what, "everyone" may not know you or your music yet. If you are like me, you want people who haven't heard you before to come to your show - so give them a little enticement with a short phrase that tells them about your music. Have great shows!

If you are reading this you were obviously one of the chosen, and are now living in the parallel reality that did NOT get blown up in the 2012 apocalypse. I honestly don't know how that happened, or why anyone would choose me (for anything)...but anyway, you may be looking for a good gig to go to since you still have a life ahead of you... it just so happens good gigs is what we got! Happy 2013!
