Going Digital

Melodic Revolution Records is finally joining the digital revolution. Now we will be able to offer better service to our valued customers. We have decided to add this feature to many of our titles as we seem to be in an age where more and more people are downloading their favorite music vs. purchasing the hard copy CD. You will now be able to purchase individual tracks as well the entire album.

This will not happen overnight as it will take time to implement and upload this music… Continue

Ενδιαφέρομαι να παίξω Drums.

Εάν λοιπόν υπάρχει κάποιο σχήμα Blues που δέν εχει drummer αυτή τη στιγμή και ψάχνει κάποιον drummer που μπορεί να μην είναι τέλειος αλλά να αγαπάει τα Blues θα με ενδιέφερε πολύ να βοηθήσω εστω και προσωρινά στις πρόβες μέχρι να βρεί κάποιον καλό.

Μπορεί να απορείτε γιατί ένας μπασίστας να θέλει να παίζει drums υπάρχει όμως μία μεγάλη αγάπη γιά αυτό το όργανο πού ξεκινάει πρίν τήν ενασχόληση μου με τό μπάσο.

Διαθέτω λοιπόν χώρο γιά πρόβες πλήρως εξοπλισμένο στή Ηλιούπολη καί πολύ… Continue

Live Acoustic Show Review

Diva who Serves the Song…

Armando’s does it again…they are batting .1000 @ this writing.

The intimate Martinez Ca club booked Blues/R&B singer Tia Carroll w/Greg (IronHand) Richmond on Guitar for Saturday night festivities.

Her sound check was “Fever” the Peggy Lee/Little Willie John “classic” that has been butchered and bludgeoned by less soulful singers who “improve” upon the lyrics by inserting themselves farther into the narrative than good taste… Continue

SEAN CHAMBERS

SEAN CHAMBERS

O Sean Chambers είναι ένας Αμερικάνος blues-rock κιθαρίστας από τη Florida,

Πρόσφατα άκουσα μία διασκευή που έκανε ένα κομμάτι του Johnny Winter (Mean town blues), και ένα του B.B King (Rock me baby) που πραγματικά σε… Continue

Top 10 Mistakes Artists Make by David Hooper

If you want to get a record deal, get people to your shows, or sell music like crazy, the answer isn’t some kind of “magic pill” website that you post your music on, blindly sending out a bunch of demos, or anything to do with having good music… although good music certainly helps. The answer is to develop a mindset that naturally attracts people to what you’re doing as well as an understanding of how the music business game is played.

As you develop as a person, your music career… Continue

Small change in Latest Activiy

To prevent automatic spreading of spam entries from our Latest Activity feed to Facebook and Twitter, I decided to temporarily disable comment announcements in the Latest Activity stream until we figure out a way of filtering potential unwanted entries in other ways.

Although we had not so many spam attacks so far in Blues.Gr, spam always follows large groups of people and we are going to have to deal with this anyway. The policy is simple: Spammers are instantly banned from Blues.Gr… Continue
