Hi I'm an independent non-profit writer/musician/photographer/video enthusiast interested in helping cover live local acts as well as their performances. All credits and rights are reserved to the bands and the premises. Reproduced with their permission only. Support our local acts and I will be coming up with a page to support all our live local acts, do come down and support them.

If you are performing somewhere and would like me to come cover you guys, I'll be more than happy to if my schedule allows for it. Check out the videos from Bridging the Blues this weekend. Do check back to the channel for more updates from our local acts:

gd stuff man, so you film the gigs and all for free?

what camera/audio are you using? sometimes the audio does get a little out of sync, like later.

Haha you'll be surprised with some of the portable HD camera in the market today. I also did an interview with some of the members with a H2. Its dificult to carry bulky high tech stuff (which I don't have too) when you're on a one-man team. Yeah its not for commercial purposes too, I am trying to bring more of our local acts onto a platform where most people are on. I think people always say our local scene is not active, but that's cos they haven even been in person to catch them.

I like what you're doing too as well! Cos your the only other channel I could find online with regards to filming our local acts.
I'm coming up with a page to put everything, interviews and photos. Do help to spread the word!

hehe not that surprised, as i've been doing this since '03. I'm using a sony sr8e paired off with a zoom H2 for all my videos from 2008 onwards. so what video camera are you using?

keep up the enthusiasm and let me know when your site is up!

Yeah I did notice about the audio sync problem that was getting inherent, so I ditched the idea. Am using a Kodak Playtouch. Yeah I'm still working on the site, but running into some issues which aren't not nice to disclose openly. Thanks for your support!

Thats right James! Thanks, hopefully when everything is running smoothly on my side, you think you could squeeze me a sticky thread or something? That'll be awesome.

Hi guys, I could really use more support for the channel. Here's a set brought to you from Mean Jeanne and the Blues Machine.
You really got to check them out! If there's a band with tons of presence, they're definitely one of the contenders!
