The Good Musician

Austin Sound Check and Pop Music Scene officially launched

by csnowden on April 17th, 2008

Kudos to Ana Wolken from Austin Sound Check, and Dexie Wharton at Pop Music Scene for successfully launching two brand new music blogs at b5media. Subscribe to these two dynamite sites and you’ll always be up to date on the latest and best sounds around, plus any dish they’ve overheard along the way.

A friend just called from Shady Grove on Barton Springs Boulevard in Austin, and I heard  Ruthie Foster singing in the background. Actually, I can hear her out my bedroom window. Has anyone not heard of Ruthie Foster? If you haven’t, then you will definitely want to check out her amazing voice and style. She will mesmerize you, captivate you, make chills run up and down your spine, and you’ll more than likely have to dance up a storm.

That’s one of the amazing things about Austin music. You don’t have to wait for SXSW or ACL Festival to hear superb music of every kind. It’s all over town, all of the time. Everything from Beatles cover band The Eggmen to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. We just need better public transportation.
