The Latest Music and Video Happenings from Breadfoot February 2013
Well goodness me, them dang dogs just went out uhm, okay hold on a sec...oop now they ran off so yeah was just getting to start to tell ya that I'm awful happy to have last year well behind me. Uhm, past couple months been real tough time emotionally and yeah let's just leave at that. Didn't get the grant that I was after but that's okay cause what I really wanted to put my energy into is that Salvatella album I been going on about for so long now.
Still aways off but somehow it seems closer in that it might bethat a buddy of mine who used to run a local label called Fractured Discs is working to get me intriduce to a fella who produce a couple of my more favourite albums of the last 15 or so years. And if I can get him on board the next step will be to create a Kickstarter campaignto raise the funds for the project.
I asked you all to cross yer fingers on the grant but for this one if ya could maybe cross everything that ya got that ya can cross well I'd sure appreciate it.
So in the meantime til I know better how all that is gonna play out I can tell ya if ya hadn't already, ya can have a look see at some bits and bobs and and odds and sods and such from 2012 and beyond.
Like this one I did up while working with the good folks at Chatham Arts to put on a children's festival that celebrates the life and work of Outsider Folk Artist Clyde Jones. It's a video of the the festival that I filmed on my Flip Cam. Went and paierd it up with a tune I made up called the Bynum Waltz. Have yerself a look see right here. If ya dug that here's another I filmed on my Flipcam. Stowed away in June in the Clydemobile. Found myself in Baltimore at Artscape smack dab in the middle of a bunch of other Artcars. Married the footage to a tune I did called Curbside and you can watch it right here. Hoping to take these two to the Doo Nanny in Seale Albama in MArch as well has kick a few tunes here and there.
And if that don't fill yer video void ya can watch some of these With Uncle Pappy videos that ya can find here at Blight Productions. Course all that Uncle Pappy nonsense led to me geting tangled up in making musical video pieces for the Viralsockpuppets. 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.
Then this was my trip to NYC to play the Winter Anti-folk Festival in Februray. Spent some time in my old local and played a set on the closing night at the Sidewalk Cafe. Sure was a good time. Did nine tunes starting with a couple from Tea With Leo and ending with Bringing It Home. Don't believe me? Well my good bud Brian from Blight Productions was there and preserved it for all posterity. Got all nine videos parked right here.
And then for those of ya that might not know my music has been featured in documentary films like 10 MPH. Have also been fortunate enough to have had music featured in several episodes of Roadtrip Nation. If ya missed 'em on yer local PBS station you can check 'em out here, Episode #11 and Episode #10. And in addition Roadtrip Nation 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.
And speaking of movies a tune I been messing with some is for a movie in production called Brining It Home 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. Not thinknoing like it's gonna make the film but either way though they have used some music from Tea With Leo for their In Progress Production Reels and I may even have an opportunity to create another original piece for an animated piece of a historical nature.
Okay, okay. If that weren't enough here's another 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 last but not least Im always monkeying with new stuff and if ya need an earfull of something Breadfoot then ya can find it here at Soundcloud.
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 right here on my site.
Much peace xoBF
