He will be apperaring in Mountain View, California on October 16, 2010 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre and will be appearing in Irvine, California at Irvine Meadows on October 21, 2010.
Title: San Diego’s North Park Music Thing North Park Music Thing is an annual festival for up and coming bands to showcase their talents to industry officials, P.R. publicists and all of the thousands that come out to attend the event and witness this wide array of talent. This year’s event will include over 100 bands performing on 14 stages during this two day festival and all conference registrants will have the opportunity to learn about the music business during panel discussions and workshops. All proceeds of this two day festival will be donated to the San Diego Music Foundation ~ a nonprofit organization who’s main goal is to advance artistic growth, understanding, appreciation, enjoyment and interest in music and it’s ability to enhance annd enrich the city of San Diego. On Friday, I was fotunate enough to be able to attend two of the workshops and the open forum with the widely respected keynote speaker, Kim Fowley. The workshops were held at the Lafayette Hotel, one of the most historic hotels in San Diego and I was pleasantly surprised that the entrance fees were very reasonable ~ only $20 online and $25 at the door for this opportunity to learn so much about the music industry. To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment; to laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind, to spend freely when one has mone, and to hope gaily when one has none. To fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art ~ this is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in his outward and visible aspect. It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment, this exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion; and if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices and lovable faults, for in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save that of Hypocrisy. … His faults are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well. … What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland? It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one’s own path, be one’s own self, live one’s own life.
What is a Bohemian?? A Bohemian is someone who practices an unconventional lifestyle. According to Wikipedia, the term ‘Bohemian’ has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gypsy, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits …. A Bohemian is simply an artist or littrateur who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art. What this world needs is more likeminded individuals who are unafraid to be themselves. Welcome to the Bohemians of the day!!! I am a very big fan of the locally independently owned radio station KPRI in San Diego, California. I am also what is referred to as a FREEQ, a frequent listener. By being a frequent listener you are able to sign up for free concerts that are being held in the San Diego area. It amazes me that there is so much local talent and so many local free events available. Below is the newest upcoming event sponsored by KPRI. DELTA SPIRIT Theres a scene in Murray Lerner’s film (Festival), about the 1963 Newport Music Festival, where Peter, Paul and Mary are shown obliging a resounding call for an encore with the protest song, If I Had A Hamme. Peter and Paul face each other from the sides and Mary faces the audience of tens of thousands, shaking her blonde hair and bearing down on a song about making change. She would, they would hammer out danger and a warning all over the land. Delta Spirit have five hammers and they swing them the way Mary bobbled her head back in ’63 for her close-ups, the way Mary sang as if her knees were on fire and her mouth was brimming with more ire laced with optimism than she knew what to do with. These Californians have more in common with the dirty haired, dirty fingernailed folk groups of the nascent years than they do any of their contemporaries. They’re suited for reminiscent hopefulness and the gracefully youthful fusion of hostility and all-encompassing passion for all things that can set a smile ablaze or turn the hairs on arms and backs of necks into little beds of nails at the flick of a switch. They make lists of things they like, including all of the people they love, their home, pretty girls, desserts, bodies of water, justice and America. They make you understand that, when it’s all boiled down, what we all ultimately live for is catharsis and a fulfillment of body meeting land, air and sea harmoniously. They’re about bodies meeting bodies, pressing skins to skins. They’re about reminding you to listen more than you talk. They’re about urging you to put stock in the happiness of others, not just your own. They make it obvious that we have to go somewhere to be somewhere. We have to feel something to really live. They sing of the soul searchers. They sing for the soul searchers. They are the soul searchers. ~ Sean Moeller This Private Listener Concert is by RSVP only through KPRI.
