Indie Artists thrive when you buy

First, it’s hard for independent artists, musicians and filmmakers to make an impact in a digital world. Today the public is inundated with Facebook posts, Youtube videos and a barrage of paid advertising from corporate entities across all forms of media.

Secondly, if you are self funded or self employed at your business, you know the old adage is true: “Time IS Money.” It is a struggle for people to devote time, mental energy and limited financial resources to creative projects when its tough to just keep groceries on the table and gas in the car.

Happy Birthday to Texas Tornado Augie Meyers

Wishing the great Augie Meyers a very happy birthday, today May 31, 2011.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Augie since I was fifteen years old (a long time ago…). He’s been a good friend and constant source of inspiration and motivation for me in music. Now, on his birthday (I won’t say which one), with Augie doing well after a kidney transplant last year and a tour with the Texas Tornados in the works, I give you this post; my thanks to legendary Texas musician: Augie Meyers.

Happy Birthday to Augie


Who’s Augie? Performer, songwriter, keyboardist, accordionist, vocalist most notably with Sir Douglas Quintet, Texas Tornados and as a side man to Bob Dylan, John Hammond, Jr. and many more… See Augie Meyers on tour this summer with Texas Tornados
