Stephanie Schneiderman’s “Wide Open”

-
A brave director has documented this, and the stories of some of Austin’s musicians in a new film called Echotone. Echotone provides portraits of a number of musicians including Bill Baird, Black Joe Lewis, and Cari Palazollo of Belaire. It includes some spectacular live performances, and asks the questions about where musicians work, play and live.

There are those few special times when you find an artist who you know has the talent, longevity, and spirit that you will be talking about them ten, twenty years from now. It is more of a treat when you can meet them at the infancy of their career. Meiko is that rare gem, who, if I was a gambler, would put all my chips in for. Why?

Words
from the Editor’s Desk
It’s finally Spring. It was a long, cold winter and we missed the sun. Now it’s the start of the “real” New Year. Every year the industry changes after SXSW and the next crop of artists starts touring and releasing their albums. It is an exciting and rich time to find people you’ve never heard of. After the recent Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger, it’s also an excuse to hit the smaller venues and avoid the fees to see something worth it. Spring is here. Smell the flowers and find a new artist to bring home.
