I just heard the exciting news that I am one of 20 semi-finalists in the Paste Rock 'n' Reel at Sea Cayamo contest. If I win, I will get to perform aboard the Cayamo Cruise in February '09 alongside Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile, The Indigo Girls, and more! (gasp)
Now that I made it to the semi-finals, I need to gather as many votes as possible to advance to the finals. I would be so grateful for your vote(s). You can vote once per day per email address, and the way they've got it set up, you get to listen to a bit of each artist's song to vote. I just did it, and it took me about 7 minutes.
It's a bit more time-consuming than your basic select-and-vote,
but it's a great way to hear some wonderful new artists.
Voting begins today, and it will be up for 2 weeks: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/rnr_vote
We like to talk about music--mostly of the folk and acoustic variety--from our home bases in Urbana, Illinois; South Hadley, Massachusetts; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York, New York; and Portland, Oregon. The name of the blog comes from a lyric written by Tracy Grammer, from her song "The Verdant Mile."

Edie Carey in the Paste Rock 'n' Reel at Sea Cayamo Contest
News from Edie Carey in my inbox this morning:
In addition to voting for Edie, you should check out some other great songwriters, including one of Minneapolis' own--the great Brianna Lane.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to remember to vote for Edie, early and often. I hope she gets to go.
