I wanted to take the opportunity this week to promote a special event upcoming this week in Des Moines. That event is the Belize Dance Marathon being held this Saturday from noon to midnight on the Drake University campus in Olmstead Hall.
This event is a dance marathon in which all money raised will help send children to school in the country of Belize. Registration for the event is $10 and dancers are encouraged to raise more money on top of that to donate to the cause.
There will be many different acts including DJ's, dance troupes, and bands (one of which is one of my bands I am involved with West of E Street along with 2010 Veisha winners EGG and the band Bella Verona). I would encourage everybody in the area to come out this Saturday and support this great cause. The entertainment will be awesome and it should be an all around fun event for all.

Until next time keep on rocking away music lovers,

Music Advice Blog
So for anybody out there who has ever tried then they know how hard it is to find a band and keep a band together. I know countless times where great bands have broken up over petty differences or known many great musicians who search forever to find a band they click with and in many cases it is too late when they do find it.
That is where I am at right now with my music. I am honestly at the point where I do not know where to go next. I keep trying to find musicians to start a good, solid blues/rock band around Des Moines that would be committed to playing a lot of the time. However so far all of the musicians I have asked are either playing with a band or not willing to commit to something. It is really frustrating sometimes.
So I guess today I am giving advice to any musician out there who is reading this. If you have a band and you are good then do everything to stay together. Because even in a larger market it can be tough to find musicians to work with and to get started up again. I am hoping that I can soon find what I am looking for before I go insane.
Until next time keep on rocking away music lovers,
