121 – This week and free tickets

Recorded 15 December 2009

On this episode of With A Voice Like This I give a little insight about what it’s like to be gigging every day and how it all works. the surprises, both good and bad, the things that keep you going, the things you draw from for your performance and the fact that life and performing doesn’t happen in a vacuum, something that’s hit close to home this year again.

Free tickets
Okay, here’s the scoop, I thought it would be fun to have you see me on me. So here’s how it works. I’m offering two tickets to the show at two separate venues. But you have to be quick and be the first person to e-mail me to get them.

The first set is for the Wednesday, December 16th  8:00 show at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock IL. E-mail the subject White Christmas Revue to [email protected] and I’ll set you up with the tickets, as long as you can really use them.

The second set is for the Sunday, December 20th 3:00 show at the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago, IL. This time e-mail the subject White Christmas Revue – BAC to [email protected] and I’ll make sure you get them.

119 – Moderation, of all things

Recorded 24 November 2009

In this episode of With A Voice Like This:

At Any Rate
I talk a bit about the November Musicians At Work Forum Stand Out in a Digital World that I had the honor to moderate and had on the panel Matt Ryd, Miriam Brosseau and Alan Jay Sufrin of Stereo Sinai, Jeffrey David Goldford and Tim Toomey of Assualt, Inc. Just a quick wrap up of the forum and the link to go and listen, which you should really do, it’s got a lot of really good info in there.

4-AM
We had our first Holiday gig of the year for the Grand Opening of the Elysian Hotel and the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival and we also got a picture taken, so here it is:

4-AM at the Elysian Hotel

And I talk about the upcoming gigs which can be found on the calendar page at 4-AM.net.  And just to let you know about the caroling group that I sing with, you can find us here at CarolingConnection.com.

During the next month or so, the show may be live on Tuesdays or it may appear in the feed as a prerecorded show based on my gigging schedule, so you never quite know what’s going to happen.

I also let you know how to get a WAVLT button (you know you want one, you know you do).
