The Lounge / Vote Merry!

« on: March 30, 2016, 02:05:37 PM »

I've asked you guys to do this before, and I definitely appreciate those of you who have voted in the past. I've been nominated for two Music PEI (Prince Edward Island) awards, both of which are determined by a public vote - Weekend Warrior and Cover Band/Artist Of The Year.

In 2015, I played 157 solo gigs, while also holding down a full-time, Monday to Friday job. That's not supposed to sound like a "poor me, I'm busy" story, considering I love playing music and would be doing it for free if I wasn't playing live, but it's definitely a ton of work. I do write my own music, and have played in original bands in the past, but these nominations are essentially for the cover gigs I play.

Looking for some love from friends, acquaintances, and apparently the internet, so if you're down to help out, click the link below and send a vote my way in both categories. No need to sign up for anything. Just click and vote.

Vote from all your goddam devices. Steal your friends' devices. Go to Best Buy and vote from the demo devices. Or just vote once. That's cool too. Voting closes on April 15.

Thanks, y'all.

The Lounge / Help! Vote For Me!

Hey! BikeGuide! I need your help!

I've been nominated for a Music PEI award, more specifically, the Weekend Warrior award! In short, it's an award that recognizes people in the music scene here on Prince Edward Island who put in work from playing music. In 2014, between solo acoustic cover shows and shows with my band, I played over 160 gigs. On top of that, I also occasionally teach guitar, offer some help with industry grant writing, and volunteer at different music events, both on and off the island.

This award is the only 2015 Music PEI award that is fan / friend / public vote! It's definitely cool just to be recognized for doing something I love, something I'd be doing for free in my basement, but if you'd like to help me make a run at the award, you can vote by clicking the link below! You DON'T have to register or sign up for anything; just click and vote!

Also, as far as some examples of my music, here are three songs my band Atta Boy! did, recorded live off-the-floor in rural Prince Edward Island, thanks to a grant we received from Music PEI!

News / BRIAN HISTAND MISSING

« on: May 21, 2013, 05:21:55 PM »

After PhilK made a post about this, I opted to repost it and sticky it.

"Brian Histand was last seen Tuesday may 14th he lives in the glendale peoria area. He has a white station wagon with bmx stickers on the back and may also be seen with a bmx bike. We are very worried about him. If you see him please contact the police!! EVERYONE OUT THERE PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT!!"

If you have ANY information, get in touch with any of the BMX news sites involved, or more directly with the local authorities in Glendale.
