SXSW '10

Well, my short time in Austin for South By Southwest (SXSW) was not only fun and informative, but an eye-opening experience to all the hard working artists out there. I'm looking forward to next year's! I'll be sure to let everyone know where I'll be. Below are just a few pictures I had a second to snap while I wasn't schmoozing or having some great in-depth conversation about the industry.

Some of the great people that I was fortunate to meet include a Mrs. Wendy Marmo who with her excellent presentational skills gave me a great insider's perspective on the licensing of music in films and television. That and she's super sweet!

Below I've included a photo of a most fabulous lady named Pasheen who is a Jazz vocalist and songwriter. She and I spent most of the night having great conversation and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her shows!

Check out the pics and of course as always...

Enjoy!

The Speakeasy's rooftop bar where the Music Supervisor seminar/Sennheiser after-party show was being held. This is right before the place got packed.

As my friend and producer Randy and I walked to Katz for some post-party grub, the shrill of unmistakeable Metal was heard being played from across the street, to which Randy proclaimed, "Hey, I know them! The lead singer is Doug Pennick from King's X" (Whom he used to record and is now apparently playing with Razr 13).

We crossed the street and took a few minutes to listen. Here's a photo I took of two their three guitarists having some fun battling it out.

Pictured below with me is a most fabulous Jazz vocalist from Los Angeles who now resides in Houston named Pasheen (the Diva) who performed that evening on the Speakeasy's roof-top as part of the Music Spervisor/Sennheiser showcase.

It was my absolute pleasure to get a chance to hang and chat all night with her, and as luck would have it, get back to Houston in time to catch another of her performances at Cellar 17 the next evening. We will no doubt be good friends from here on out! Because she's fabulous! And yes, I ganked her sunglasses for the photo. Nothing of mine is that fabulous.
