Hey Everyone, 2 big announcements this week, so let's get right to them. I'll start with the personal one first. As many of you know, I am getting married next month. I Am very lucky in having met my soulmate, Naomi, who many of you have met since she is out with me at almost all the local shows I attend, and loves the local music scene too. In fact, we both love the local music scene so much that we wanted everyone to be able to celebrate our wedding day with us. Unfortunately, it just isn't possible to invite everyone to the actual wedding, so we decided to do the next best thing...have a big after-wedding party for everyone to celebrate with us! As you can see it's going to be a rocking good time with some great local bands, so do try to come out and celebrate with us on this joyous occassion. Now onto the other big news...I've been working on this since January, and I am proud to announce the next in the line of BlowUpRadio.com Free Compilation CDs BlowUpRadio.com's Live CD is 18 incredible songs by independent New Jersey bands. It's over 65 minutes worth of music and it will be available FREE at all BlowUpRadio.com sponsored shows starting with the May 7th Folk You! show. Here's the tracklisting: 1. - a face for radio 2. THE MARBLES - batteries 3. - somehow 4. - glass half full 5. - clouds again 6. - turned to glass 7. - darling don't 8. jpat - I believe 9. - groovy #14 10.

INTERACTIVE SONGWRITING SHOW, WITH AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION GALORE In the last ten years, we’ve seen the Internet give traditional entertainment companies a run for their money. An independent artist can now get worldwide distribution of recorded material without the help of TV or a major record label. But an exciting new turn stands to challenge even the most engaging of reality shows – the ability to broadcast live over the Internet while attaining real-time feedback.
