My Promo Reel
The thing I hate about being an independent musician is being my own publicist and booking agent. I'm hoping to get into a position to hand some of that work over.I linked up with an excellent performance coach, Joe Yazbeck of HeartBeat Productions in Clearwater. We worked hard for about three months getting ready for the concert that became the stuff of the promo reel. I can't say enough about how good Joe is at what he does. If you're in the business, you owe it to yourself to check him out.
So here's the promo reel. It'll be on my Sonicbids.com site when they get it processed and I hope it nets me some more work. I hope to use the rest of the footage shot by Tony Rockliff to edit some performance videos. If you know anybody who likes to do that sort of thing, please send them my way.

Wow that's good quality. Sounds fantastic. And boy are you having fun.
Was that condenser mic for the video audio?

Hey, I hope you don't take offense to this but has anyone ever compared you to John Cougar Mellencamp. Great lyrics! some of them I could really relate to.
i'm with d-man, the sound quality is much better than what you can expect from these video thingies.
D and Van: Nope that was a four track you saw on camera, used to just fill in a bit. Our direct from my Bose to the camera kept picking up RF so he had to just mic my speakers. Otherwise the sound would have been Studio quality. But thanks you guys.
Aymiee, Yeah, I've been told I should do more Mellencamp covers. I haven't listened to any of his recent stuff, though.

Obviously, I am a long-time fan and I couldn't be prouder of your achievements, particularly these last few years alone. New friendships, new gigs, a fantastic new CD, completion of a great recording studio at home, the love of students. It's so great to see you moving into more and more exciting angles of your burgeoning career, Bud! Cheers! And Rock On!!!
Awwww! "Here comes the sun!"
EXCELLENT video, Bud!
It's so nice to finally see you in action.... and man, I can feel the love from here! =)
The quotes at the footer of the video is a really nice touch, too!
Kudos for this!
Can't wait to experience the magic of your music when you come to my town! =)

You are in FINE form, Bud!! What a fantastic video--you're sounding great and looking so happy and comfortable up there. Adorable!
(of course I didn't forget to link you to the new digs! You were first to hit MY links list I'm just slow at getting around to visit everybody)
Just read about your trip to NY and it sounds fabulous. I can relate to that feeling about living so far away from so many people you love...but I'm home now!! :)

Very cool video Bud, it was well put together. I've watched it a few times now via your channel subscription. Keep up the good work and enjoying what you do.
Cheers
