Headlines From Around the b5 Music Channel

Since you’re here, I already know you love New York and it’s world famous music scene. But more likely than not you also enjoy music from other cities and other genres I haven’t even touched on here at Big Apple Music Scene. But fear not, BAMS is part of the b5 Media blog network, which features some of the best music blogs out there.

My b5 music comrades have rather outstanding posts up which are worth a read:

Obviously Austin is a mecca for music, especially with the upcoming SXSW music conference in March when Austin will host hundreds of bands, musicians, and others in the music industry. Austin Soundcheck opines on the fact that Rachael Ray (the TV chef) is hosting a showcase at SXSW and also lets you know which Austin bands have Twitter.

The Rock Dose has a feature on Jump Back Jake, the Nashville southern rockers who will also be performing at SXSW.

Oz Music Scene has an interview with Anne Robertson, ex-Australian Idol who is now with girl group Sultry Sally. Also be sure to check out their interview with Zoe Badwi, the number one selling Aussie dance music maven. There’s even a review of the Glen Hansard / Marketa Irglova concert at the world famous Sydney Opera House.

On Metal Martyr, read three reviews of hard-hitting instrumental albums from Scale the Summit, American Draft, and Pegataur.
