Homegrown Music Video Festival

This weekend was the Homegrown Music Video Festival. Friday night I drew “Rise Up!” by the Black-Eyed Snakes out of the big tophat filled with songs. Then we had the weekend to make a music video. So this is what I did. If you ain’t from around these parts, you probably won’t get some of the local references. But hopefully you can enjoy it anyway.
The big premiere was Monday. I couldn’t make it, but I heard it was fabulous fun. 13 entries all together. Dang good for a first-time event.

And Friday, I’ll be playing with Tangier 57 at the Red Star, and we’ll have an apron fashion show with Rachel Hart of Apron Elegance. Swanky sassy fun.

    That video was good, but I had to keep the music down. My God that was awful.
