Eclectic taste in music? This is the place.
Looking for new sound experiences? Want to learn how to prepare for an audition? Which theory would you use to analyze a modern composition? Or do you just want to listen to some good, funky grooves? The Good Musician explores the world of music–old and new, classical to indie, with exotic influences and practical tips along the way.
Check out the bands from the recent 2008 SXSW in the Austin Chronicle online. Austin’s new Long Center for the Arts inaugural season includes Kathleen Battle, the Rude Mechs, and a Tribute to Texas Music with Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett alongside Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel. Chorus Austin and other vocalists will raise the roof with the Austin Symphony Orchestra in one of music’s peak experiences–Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony May 16 and 17.
If you can’t make it to Austin, get to know some of my favorites–the Paul and Fred acoustic duo from Little Feat, Toshi Reagon and Big Lovely, and Australia’s The Cruel Sea.
