The Latest Music and Video Happenings from Breadfoot January 2012
Howdy there.
Sure hopng that yer New Year is getting off to a good start.
Starting off my year by announcing a rare live performance. Gonna be on the closing night of the Winter Anti-folk Fest at the Sidewalk Cafe in New York. Should be a lot of fun. Click on the Red Truck for more details.
Other wise I been spending some time looking back on the past year. Sure had me a good time withall sorts of stuff.
Front end of things I kept on with making up tunes for With Uncle Pappy. This is that tutorial web series that my buddy Brian from Blight Productions was kicking. That of course then led to me geting tangled up in making musical video pieces for the VSP. Might serve ya well if ya haven't seen one yet to check out one of my favourites I done up. I reprised my Super Breadfoot character for this one and made up a swanky little jazzy number for the occassion. Video is called Brain Eye Saves the Day.
If ya wanna just get yerself an earfull of some of the tunes from With Uncle Pappy or the VSP series I got a bunch of 'em parked here at Soundcloud. And hey another fun little earfull you'll find there is one I been sketching out for the good folks who are putting togther a documentary about industrial hemp. The film is to be called Bringing It Home and ya can check out what they got going on at www.bringingithomemovie.com. The tune is called well "Bringing It Home" and the latest version you'll find was recordd on a single mic right here in Bynum in my front room and features some fine, fine musicians on tuba, clarinet, accordion and banjo.
And oh hey was real pleased to get to see them episodes of Roadtrip Nation. If ya missed 'em on yer local PBS station you can check 'em out here. Episode #11 featured International Esther and Episode #10 featured Kecha and On the Day That I Go. And in addition they chose an old Just About to Burn tune for a video piece that introduces foks to the Roadtrip Nation crew and staff. The tune they picked was Your Money or Your Fun and ya can check out the video here.
Over the years I'm always flattered when folks get to saying my music sounds like movie music. Beyond the new projects I mentioned already I also have had msuic featured in the documentary 10 MPH. Now something else I did this past year was hook up with the folks from Organic Music Library. So if you're making a film or a video you can run on in a pick up some Breadfoot for your latet project. Tunes on file currently are mostly from Tea With Leo but I'll be adding more soon. Click here to go directly to my stuff.
And if I may just one more cool video happening. Ways back got a holler from a fella lives these days in Woodstock, NY. He had bought a CD from me when I was buskin' in Soho one day. Been listening to it a lot since and got to thinking that my tunes would work well on a video he was producing to promote the Woodstock Farmers Market. Check it out on my Pics Page.
And yes Salvatella is still on the back burner. Ain't gonna force it. I got the whole record in my head. Hear it just so, ya know? So if I can't make it the way I hear I just ain't gonna. But I will. Just not now and that's okay.
Okaythen. That's about it for now. Thanks again for stopping by. Be sure to take yer time and have a good look see. Plenty of videos, pics and music to download.
Much peace xoBF
