Scammers Out There! Artists Beware!

This is my official and cordial invitation to all you gross and disgusting phishing/scammer companies out there that feed off of poor young musicians dreams: "PLEASE BUGGER OFF"!

Now that the internet is a global organism of sorts, it makes it much easier for these crooks to get away with these acts. 

Artists, Musicians, My Compadres! If anyone ever contacts you through email or sonicbids or myspace or facebook telling you they are going to make you a "Famous, cool, star" but all you have to do is  give them an upfront fee of $$$; run away for your life in the other direction.

Prominent companies that are truly interested in representing you as an artist are generally commission based.

Do your due diligence and research the same internet for reviews and for references, and never, ever, give your money or bank or credit card information to these people who have no lives and feed with venom.

The music business is running rampant with these vermin (now more than ever).

Hello to you Vermin, you are running up the wrong alley with me, stop contacting me, I am not interested in becoming "COOL, AND FAMOUS", I am in the music game because I like making music, period end of story. Oh and get a job!

Great Live Pics and Great Blueberries in my Fridge

I'll start first with the Blueberries business. I got a batch of blueberries today and they were hiding in the guise of just normal Blueberries. No sirebob, these were the best darn tasting Blueberries I have had in a long time; pretty much like finding Willy Wonka's ticket...I won!

On to other things lol, Check out these amazing pics that photographer Andrew Sztein took at our Sneaky Dee's show.

I think my band of boys is soooooooooooooo coool. Look at them they look like they are from the movies lol + I love them.

Next Show - Live @ Comedy Bar as Musical Guest

This one I am super excited about. Oh yes and how rude of me, hello to you all and how do you do?

I am playing 3 songs on Sunday, May 26th @ Toronto's very Halarious

Comedy Bar

945 Bloor Street West (Near Ossington station (Delaware Exit))

Time: 9pm sharp

The sketch show "Sunday Night Live" is going to be amazing brought to you by Toronto's very funny"Sketchersons". The reason I am so excited about this one is because I used to sing in their house band and not only am I going to play 3 songs from my new album "Maverick" I am going to sing in the house band for the night too "GOOD OLD TIMES ABOUND".

Oddly enough off the record, 3/4 of the house band lads are my band. I just missed them so much that I begged them than transported them to my own musical realm via laser beam travel lol.

Ok yes that last sentence just entered the realm of super nerd talk, AHEM...back to the matter at hand.

COME FOR SOME GREAT COMEDY AND GREAT MUSIC.

xoxo,
Sarah

Sound City is Related to the Health of Your Heart!

Ok so if you haven't already watched the documentary "Sound City", which is the lovely and talented Dave Grohl's directorial debut, than you just need to get on that already!

Man it is good, and I have already watched it three times. If you love music for music and not for the horrible pop-tronic fest that it has become as of late than this is for you. You get the cream of the crop when it comes to rock musicians talking from their hearts and such an amazing story of a genius sound board to go with it all.

I would quickly, quickly go to the website  at Sound City Website where you can purchase to stream. I bought it on dvd because I want to share this gem with whatever future generations may exist. Ideally I would like to lock it in a time capsule and bury it in front of City Hall under a cemented  tile titled "This Is Good For You".

All of the musicians are amazing but what I will say as a highlight is that after watching this movie there can be absolutely no debate regarding how much of a "Bad Mama Jamma" that Paul Mccartney still is. The Beatles were that famous for a reason and you can still hear it in his playing and singing.

I now vow to one day record on that soundboard, by golly I will figure out a way to do it :).

XOXO,
Sarah
