#MusicMonday Venue Revue: The Money, Rock Hill SC

So, in my tenure as a working musician–that now spans my entire adult life–I’ve come to realize a few things about venues. One of those things is, the bathroom tells the whole story. It’s been my experience that if the bathroom is covered in stickers and graffiti, has little to no paper towels [...]

Three Shows, Four Days, One Blog Post

What’s up Gautamanation,
It’s been a little while since I’ve hit y’all with one of these. I’ve been slowly chipping away at the scene here in my new digs Charlotte, NC and April just exploded into a super busy month. With the first leg of it under my belt let me recap…
… Monday April [...]

#FreeMusicFriday “The Few”: more self-indulgent commentary

Happy Friday Gautamanation!!!
So a while ago I said I would give song-by-song analysis of each track on “Few Against Many”…
… I’ve been slacking off on this because I didn’t get any comments on the last one and my website analytics didn’t show any increased hits. That being said I still feel compelled to continue [...]

#Music Monday-Road Report: Oct:2nd @ The Empty Glass, Charleston WV

Greetings Gautamanation,
This one is coming fresh off a visit to a town that has a lifetime pass to a soft spot in my heart…
The trip to West Virginia, in my opinion, is always a good one. As of this past Saturday, I have now played in that great state 5 times, which is more [...]

Texas Is The Reason

Day One (8/6/2010) Denton, TX
Left Atlanta yesterday at around 7:30pm.  Drove West all night, I took the first shift, Atlanta to Vicksburg MS, then turned driving duties over to Quanstar.  Fell asleep somewhere in Louisiana just before Evaready RAW took the helm.  Woke up when we were about 80 miles out of Dallas TX and [...]

#Music Monday (6-14-2010)

Back in Action…
That’s right, my knee recovery is ahead of schedule, we’re two days in to physical therapy and I’m feeling great.  I have almost full mobility and stability and am walking around with minimal pain and discomfort.  That being said I prepare to make my triumphant return to the stage…
On July 3rd at The [...]

Beloved Gautamanation,
THANK YOU from the bottom of my bleeding and oft broken heart to everyone who made it out to Blue Frog Cantina this past Friday to help me celebrate the release of my new album Few Against Many.  Everyone involved on [...]

This Friday we celebrate

Greetings Gautamanation,
As you might already know (due to my relentless posting of it) the release party for “Few Against Many” is this Friday.  Myself an Metrognome have put a lot of work into this record and we are chomping at the bit to let y’all hear this new batch of songs.  We have been playing [...]

March Madness 2010 in the Gautamanation

What’s poppin’ Gautamanation? March always seems to be a busy month for us and this year has been no different.  Your favorite hiphop vagabond and my partners in rhyme Quanstar and Evaready RAW just wrapped up a very long but awesomely productive weekend.

“Country Roads Take Me Home To The Place Where I Belong…” The Empty Glass, Charleston, WV 2/19/2010

My favorite thing about doing music is that I get to travel all over this great nation of ours, visit places I would otherwise never go and meet people I would otherwise never meet.  My most recent outing was a classic example of just that.  This particular adventure was especially important to me since our [...]
