The Roll Call

by Joe Taylor Jr. on June 9, 2005 · 32 comments

I’m a little run down today, so I thought we’d have some fun.

Before the site redesign, we used to have a little "bandroll" on the sidebar with links to bands that were readers or clients of ours. As spinme.com grew, keeping the list got a little too time consuming, so I had to let it drop.

So, today, it’s time to put your own little plug for yourself or your band right here on the site. Use the comments link to tell us who you are, what you play, and where folks can find your stuff!

It’s the easiest free publicity you’ll get this month. :)

P.S.: I know about 2,000 of you look at this site every day, so don’t be shy, y’all.

UPDATE (6/10): Thanks for all the great posts so far. Remember that this Roll Call is for bands/musicians only. If you want to plug something else (directories, podcasts), hang tight for future Roll Call posts.

Thanks for your good work, Joe. Much appreciated. And for the opportunity to write a few words about my music. My musical style blends world, folk and jazz. Adult contemporary. My performances, inspired by Maya Angelou, blend music, talk and poetry on themes such as my most recent show, called “Crossroads” – an artist’s intimate musical journey about overcoming challenges in pursuit of one’s dreams. Quotes:
“Lewis has the big voice, she drew a spellbinding sense of rapture .� The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, Nova Scotia
” Her music expresses something so deep in people’s hearts, so deep that people do not even know it themselves.” Liao Anli, Hong Kong, China

It’s Irish Music with plenty of pint-pounding, foot-stomping, dancing in the aisles, jumping in the air, and Axl Rose dancing. Oh, and the audience has fun, too!

Traditional music in a unique packaging.

Check out my blog, performance and road-trip photos, song lyrics, and more on my website.

I’ve made a commitment right here and now, to not be a typical jazz musician and learn how to market myself a little bit…If pop artists can do it why can’t a jazzer?…

Thanks Joe

Multiple Sammie-award-winning NorCal band Las Pesadillas (“The Nightmares”) sound like Mozart joined the Dead Kennedys to play Pixies covers. They have mastered the art of the medieval Spaghetti-Western Gypsy surf song and feature a wild electric violin player.

Roy Crawford Band June 12, 2005 at 10:23 am

The band plays old time fiddle music. Thats right, a grand master fiddler, Roy Crawford from Alabama, Nashville’s Charlie Cushman on banjo and guitar, ( Dukes of Hazard tv show background music, Dolly Pardon, all the stars in Nashville have Charlie on the banjo) and Terry Smith on bass.
Hoedowns, hornpipes, waltzes, and polka’s are all here. Done in fine style, brought together for this one time recording.
The site plugs the new Cd, Front Porch Fiddlin’ in Alabama, free full cuts, history of the band members, links to their sites with information on fiddle and banjo instruction, other music sites and much more.

“Could the combination of a righteous rhythm, moving forward from one of four corners to another, and a compelling melody, side winding crab-like round one measure to another, make a compelling case for itself through an hour of shape shifting motion?”

Hey Joe,

I just finished “More Gigs Now” over the weekend. It DEFINITELY addresses the questions I was asking while reading “Grow Your Band’s Audience.”

I’ve been playing with my band, The Inferno Merchants, around our hometown of New York City and we’re just beginning to employ the Zone Strategy.

I guess the biggest news lately is that digital distribution is starting to pay off for us. We’ve just been informed of sales on iTunes-UK and iTunes-Europe so I guess we’re now internationally known.

When speaking with my bandmates, I now enjoy quotng Cliff from the movie ‘Singles’: “Guys, just remember that we are LOVED in Belgium.”
