A friend of mine sent me this video the other day and I thought I would pass it along. The band is Stereoside and the song is “On Our Way.”
The song pays tribute to some of the big artists through the past 3-4 decades. One of the cool things about this tune is, they aren’t really picky about genre – both in the music itself and the lyrics. The writer is obviously a Musicgoat (we like that here).
The song starts out with this country blues feel and ends in hard rock. One verse will mention Waylon and Willie and the next will mention something about Guns n’ Roses and Alice in Chains.
Another cool thing about this tune is, I can see it relating to a lot of people – especially those that I have grown up with (Hell, I almost wish I had written this tune myself).
And the opening is a nice touch which sets the table nicely. The vid opens with a mysterious hand pouring a strong one and some mysterious inhaling sounds (hmmmm…wonder what that could be?).
AND, the dude has a cool voice. Somehow I think he can pull off some solid G n’R covers.
Anyway, enough with the ands, check it out. Let me know what you think below.

What music do you suggest Trevor listens to that will inspire endurance during his 21-24 hour non-stop 61,000 ft climb? (enter your suggestions the comments below)
P.S. That is over twice as high as a passenger jet flies.
Thank You

Editor note: Off the top of my head, I am gonna suggest “Rise Above This” by Seether. That tune always gets me jacked up when I’m running. Good luck Trevor!
Sing it Weezer style, “You got your big “G”, I got my… hashtag”… lol.
Anyway, a BIG THANKS is in order for Mr. Jason Jones who has started using a Musicgoat hashtag on Twitter. Great idea!
If you have any Musicgoat worthy music that you want to share via Twitter, use #musicgoat and then we can all swim in the variety that is the Musicgoat way.
Take a few minutes to enjoy this original take on Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself”.
New York based Tribrix (rhymes with try-bricks) manages to keep most of the classic Punk sound intact, but takes the song in a whole new direction. And as an added bonus, you get a great video with some really striking visuals.
You might even wonder how one DIY musician was able to pull off so much. But only if you watch.
If you’re a true music lover, you’re not waiting for the day the best musicians in the world come perform at your VFW hall. Instead, you are willing to travel to the best events in the world for your chance to be part of music history.
So, before you ascend your own stairway to heaven, here are six concert events you absolutely must attend.
1. SXSW
Is it a music festival, a technology expo, or both? SXSW in Austin, Texas, has the coolness of Woodstock mixed with the nerdiness of a Star Trek convention; in fact, it’s held at the Austin convention center. At SXSW the best indie rock bands perform, while leading innovators in technology lecture.
2. Lollapalooza
Over 100 bands performing on a dozen stages, all under the skyline of one of the country’s coolest cities: Chicago. The three-day music event of Lollapalooza in Chicago’s Grant Park is perfect for the music lover that never sleeps. Read the rest of this entry
It seems that now and again, there is always a musician who is doing his or her leg work, playing endless streams of shows and creating heavy buzz through word-of-mouth news. Yet, someway they happen to remain out of radar.
George Ellias, a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles would fall under this category. He’s a musician who has been playing for more than half his life, and it shows clearly. It’s that undeniable feeling a person get’s when they know they are seeing or hearing something profound. That is how I felt when Ellias finished his last song as special guest performance at a bar named Skinnys in North Hollywood, California.
According to George Ellias, his main motivator is none other than the folk-laureate-poet, Bob Dylan. Which is apparent, but there is more to him than just his attributes that pay homage to Dylan. George Ellias has a story behind him. Read the rest of this entry
So you are a musician that would like to give back to your community in some way, but you have not become quite as successful as being able to give $3 million like Madonna. Yet, that does not mean that you cannot be a philanthropist. You can give your most valuable asset – your voice.
Charities often hold special events to attract new donors and/or show appreciation for current donors and volunteers. Often the budgets for these events are very small with little or no allocation for performers. These charitable events provide a perfect opportunity for you as a new artist to showcase your talents, hone your performance skills, and begin to generate some buzz about you. Take advantage of these opportunities by offering to perform at the event without monetary compensation. You will still want and need to be compensated, but you will not likely receive cash.
