Musicians, bands, artists, music publicists, record companies, music fans and more have been submitting blog entries to Band Weblogs for free, for online distribution. All Guest Music Blogger entries are reviewed before publication and whether the entries are formal press releases about bands and their music or laid back music blog entries written by musicians, most submissions get published.

In today’s music climate, it’s important for bands to find unique ways to get their music heard. I’ve been a firm believer in musicians taking matters into their own hands when it comes to online promotion. Of course, the more help a band can get, the better, and adding music blog entries to Band Weblogs is just one more way to help spread the word about up and coming bands, new releases, reviews, music videos, music blogs and more.

Not only are the entries published on Band Weblogs, but some blog entries submitted by Guest Music Bloggers have been featured on quality news websites like Reuters, USA Today and Austin American Statesman. The more people that read the music blog entries equals more free promotion for bands!

Dave Tommo and I host the Band Weblogs Podcast Show which features ‘podsafe’ music by up and coming unsigned bands and signed bands. We love doing the show and it’s important to us that we play music by bands and artists that we really like. Band Weblogs Podcast Shows are aired on CBS owned KYOU Radio and 1550AM in San Francisco as well as distributed to podcast directories around the net. Podcasts are another way for musicians to get their music ‘out there’.

Some of the things we did included going to the beautiful Middlebury College in Vermont to see my cousin graduate. One small observation that I made while waiting for the outdoor ceremonies to begin, was that the music selection coming out of their speakers was surprisingly loud and that whoever was in charge of the music must have been a big Steely Dan fan.

Bill Clinton was the commencement speaker which was interesting to say the least. His speech was good and most people seemed impressed. The weather was great and the only time it rained during our trip was when everyone was finally seated at the graduation and then the heavens decided to open up.

We were able to stop by a couple of my favorite watering holes -  Five Olde Nugget Alley (NH) and the Norwich Inn (VT), which I highly recommend to anyone visiting the Dartmouth area.

We met up with some friends and during a conversation one of them said that they remembered seeing Joe Strummer coming out of the Norwich Inn with a bottle of something or other back in the early 80’s which I thought was cool. I know a couple people that went to see The Clash play in Hanover, NH around that time so maybe they were staying overnight at the Inn during their tour.

Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to see any live music but I was able to catch up with some musicians from the Vermont/New Hampshire area that I hadn’t seen in awhile – and of course hear the latest gossip that I’ve been missing out on.

We heard “if only you could stay a little while longer” quite a few times and one of the instances included a missed opportunity to see The Bags play in Boston at TT the Bears. Oh well – maybe next time. Time goes by so quickly when you’re having fun!

I tried my best to keep up with Band Weblogs while I was away but it wasn’t easy and luckily there were some interesting Guest Music Blogger entries, press releases and music reviews that were sent in that I just about managed to publish as often as I could.

My blog entries here will be back running as usual as I slowly get over the jet-lag and get back into the blogging saddle!

Thanks for stopping by Band Weblogs and if you have any music stories, band press, music reviews etc. that you would like to contribute just sign up for free in the Guest Music Bloggers section where you can add music entries, public profiles, links and more!
