Being Real In Music

First Blog On Play Music City

I want to do an introduction from my perspective on what we are as a web presence and a music site for artists and music lovers alike. We will always do our best to be a source for great music that is out their in the world and in our communities and keep a positive spin with the focus the music itself. Both Ryan and I are the co/editors of this site and our main blog. But I want Ryan to give his perspective in his own words through his blog as well. I have been a lover of music since the age of 5 and have known since the age of 10 what I wanted to do with my life, I can go all the way in my memory banks and remember sneaking to listen to music at night when I was supposed to be going to sleep and I also did not have a TV in my room like so many children do today i had a stereo, a little tape cassette recorder with a handle and a 45 record player as my influences. I never really cared about anything as much as I have about music and was always bored while growing up with all of the other tasks thrust upon us while we are all growing up, because for me I already knew what I wanted to do. I have come to learn how many people in music all felt the same way when they were a kid growing up, and how much every persons story is about how they had a tape cassette player, or some sort of device they would listen to at night when they were supposed to be asleep and they could never turn the music off and its been a pretty amazing journey in its self. I have learned so many lessons the hard way and have finally come to realize its doing your passion as a servant to others through honesty and integrity that gets you what you want out of this life their is know other way. I had to find that out the hard way so many times to get that to stick inside of me, its that you can always have all of the dreams and desires that you have always wanted, you just have to do it good, decent and with transparency in who you are and where you have come from, I just wanted to share that i finally get that and that's what this site is going to represent.

What we are doing

We want to do our best to introduce what we view as great bands and performers from a number of criteria which include honesty in their music and their art. Weather its a song writer, singer song writer or performer we want to always bring you great music from our perspective of all different kinds of music, but we also realize that we all know the definition of great music is very subjective in nature to begin with, so this is our perspective that we want to share and we hope we meet our criteria we are setting forth for all of you. We want to give you a view of artists in a way that is real through simple questions that are then shared with you through the stories of their journeys and show you that in some way how they are all connected to the same thing, which is making great music everyday they are alive, and their passion for what they do should come through to you. We hope that every one really enjoys the music and we always welcome your feedback ,we think its an important part of the process for both learning and for the feed back on the music. We really hope to have you as fans of our site and we will continue to bring you great music and a fun journey and perspective of music for you.
