Returning…..

After several years of hiatus, I’ve decided to make a comeback of sorts!

Life has been crazy, and things have changed in the local Sacramento music scene over the past years. Local music venues have mostly gone, but there are a few that are still hanging on thanks to the efforts of the local community.  Local bands are ever changing, some have entirely disbanded, and others continue doing their thing, and some are making a pretty good name for themselves!

Why am I doing this? Maybe you are wondering, perhaps you don’t care…well whatever you think it’s all good. I’ve been in the local scene for just about 12 years now, I’ve seen bands come and go,  local venues rise and fall, and I love it. I have met so many people over the years and enjoyed so much music. Whether the mainstream realizes it or not, the local scene is so vital to the culture of the city. These locals give a town its character and create diversity. Even if a band sticks around for only a few months, they are still just as important as those who go on to sell millions of albums. The local groups have a lasting impact on every new incoming generation of creatives.

I hope that you can find some enjoyment here, and learn about the underground music scene here in Sacramento. As I start to get back into things, my main goal will be to focus on musicians who identify as women, and POC musicians. Sadly, the more main stream publications stay away from these types of stories, they have to please the masses, and i do not. I’ve taken the attitude that if you want to see something done, do it yourself!

Thanks for the support! Check back soon for my first write-up covering the amazing Dolores 5000, she just recently released an incredible new album called ‘Moo is Meow in Cow’ ..see you soon!

Cheers!
