Instagram Audience Shows

17 May

 

Always great to get random people snap a pic with their smart phone, then magically vanish from existence. Then like a person on TMZ, magically see your face on someones Instagram page being hash-tagged (#toronto, #oakville, #GTA, #905, #416) with a cool 1970’s filter attached to it. It promotes you, and it promotes the establishment you play at – free PR!

Does it fulfill your ego? Not really. Does it make you feel good? Yes, because the music must be doing something right, that someone needs to take a pic to post it.

Its been a while, but I’ll need to start re-thinking what it all means – by taking a pic, your essentially like a PR agent now, and that helps! At the same time, you could be psycho too. But it’s really not worth the time the figure that out. What matters is that i like to think of everyone as ‘anyone’, and anyone is my friend.

Cheers’ to the people who’ve taken shots over the course of the last 10 shows I did. With the development of the Instagram stories, it’s only a matter of time that the videos will follow. Follow me on instgram at:

 

…and a last cheers to the person who actually took a photo with a digital camera the good old fashioned way.

Periscope Live World Broadcasts

16 May

The 1st half of 2017 has been one of reaching more audiences far and wide. That means, not only performing but broadcasting performances to as many people ‘online’ as found via the great programs and apps that our technology allows. After experimenting with Facebook live I have also experimented with Twitters Live Broadcast tool – Periscope.

This allows me to broadcast shows to more people I don’t know – around the world. So far the feedback has been fantastic, people in the U.S, UK, Europe, even South Korea (not North) have watched a show and commented. As the summer season approaches I’ll look forward to broadcasting more shows.

Here’s a link to recent show using Periscope (where you can’t see me, only hear me)
