Once-a-month music review

As many of you know, I've taken a completely different approach to booking and event management compared to other entertainment companies. Since I myself have been a professional musician off and on for over 15 years, and have been on the business side of things for nearly as long, I choose to partner up with an unlimited number of musicians in just as many genres.

I'm a musician by nature and a businesswoman by well... necessity. It's part of the job. Since I'm fortunate enough to work with some really fantastic venues in Austin, I work hard to bring to them the best in live music.

I work to maintain a great relationship with both venue owners AND musicians. Musicians, I'm an advocate for you. Trust me, I know what it's like to play a show for just the bar staff and walk away with less money then you walked in with. I also know what it's like to rock a crowd of 8,000 and savor the scent of your own sweaty funk after a show because you worked hard for it.

I'm also an advocate for venues. They provide a place for great musicians to play, so the musicians need to BRING IT. Every time... all the time.

"Who's Spicy?" is going to be highlighting those artists that are HOT. They may be well-known, they may not be, but they will all be local. Austin, TX is my home and making a change in the music industry is going to start right here.

I hope to be exposed to even more music than I already am with Spicy Evolution Music. I hope to get into the skulls of artists and find out what drives them. I hope you'll enjoy the read....

Stay Tuned.
