What's New on Collected Sounds
October 2006

News

Here's what is new on Collected Sounds for the month of October 2006

Hi my fellow music lovers!

The Collected Sounds Blog is hopping more and more. I've been getting tons of news from artists. It's hard to keep up with it all!

So tell all your friends that: blog.collectedsounds.com is the place to go for news about their favorite (mainly female, but I will add the males I adore as well) artists. I intend to announce tours, new album releases, new video releases, signings, etc. I may even have a few exclusives.

Come visit the blog and make some comments. I always like feedback :)

New Spotlights

Collected Sounds' Spotlight Artist of the Month

Collected Sounds' does not have a Spotlight Artist of the Month this time. Hopefully I will be able to introduce you to someone new next month.


House Concerts

Our next show is the glitter girl, Rachael Sage! We are so excited to have her back. We've decided not to have the Halloween party on the same night, so if you were shy about coming thinking you would be expected to wear a costume or get drunk with us, you no longer have to worry about that. Just come and enjoy the theatrical and hilarious stylings of the one and only Ms. Rachael Sage. I have her new record and it's really really good. Come see these songs live!

We're beginning to fill up 2007 already! Here's the only one that's confirmed:

Brianna Lane is coming back (wooo-hoo!) and this time she'll be joined by Ellery. They are a husband-wife duo from Ohio who play a great, unique brand of acoustic alternative folk. They've recently been signed by Collected Sounds firend and favorite, Virt Records (former home to Vienna Teng). Ellery was also discovered on Collected Sounds!

[For more info]

But I've been in talks with some fabulous artists, some have been here before, some new and I think 2007 is going to be amazing. But I don't want to say too much more becuase I don't wnat to jinx anything.

Concert Reviews

I saw a couple GREAT shows in September:

Charlotte Martin with Joe Purdy at the Varsity Theater

Vienna Teng with Joshua Radin at the Fine Line

I am hoping to see Regina Spektor at the Varsity on the 19th of October. But that's a busy week for me and I'm a little scared it's going to sell out seeing as they're now playing her on The Current! Yay! (um, I only suggested that about 2 years ago and I was ignored)
