SHOW and prove

Just in case you haven’t been out much within the last 8 months, I’ll let you in on a little secret: The underground music scene in Atlanta is…for lack of a more refined term, poppin’. If you’re an up and comer in the A, this might be the best time for you to build your portfolio and rock a few shows. Typically, for young urbanites like yourself, Atlanta tends to offer the same brands of nightlife entertainment: the booty bar, the club/lounge, the bowling alley, or the movies. Now, amidst a nationwide recession, “the powers that be” have incorporated “song and dance” into Atlantan evenings. (well, minus the shuck n’ jive…) Basically, now more than ever, YOU can find awesome opportunities to grace a number of stages. Wait, did I forget the best part? They’re paying! Though this is no guarantee, an inside source has informed that your unsigned and indie-label brothers and sisters have long been compensated for their talents. Don’t miss the boat! Between Myspace and Facebook you should be able to get a decent gauge on what’s the haps in these streets. From there, it’s just a matter of you utilizing your gift of gab to werk out an appearance. So get on it…sing into that comb or remote and tear down that stage while standing in front of your mirror. It’s show time! Until next time, do YOU, do music.
