Read all about it
There was a nice story written about me by Rick Dumont in today’s Nashua Telegraph. Technically, it’s in Encore magazine, which is an entertainment section of the paper. You can read it by clicking here.
Shameless self promotion? Absolutely. Is there any other kind?
The story, which includes a photo and a video, runs in conjunction with an upcoming show at the Gypsy Café in Pepperell.
I’ll be there this Saturday night, Jan. 16, from 7-9 p.m. Hope to see you there.
The Gypsy Café is located at 112 Main St. in Pepperell. For further information about the venue, call 978-433-3331 or visit the restaurant’s Web site at www.thegypsycafe.com.
Rather than going on and on (which I could do very easily), just read the Telegraph piece. Or go to my Web site: www.howienewman.com.
MUSICIAN TIP
If you’re a solo or play in a small combo, you probably do a little between-songs banter (if you don’t you should). It engages the audience and encourages them to listen. I’d recommend practicing your shtick just as you’d practice your songs. When you hear them out loud, you’ll get an idea of what the audience is getting and you can tinker the words accordingly. You can always ad lib if the mood strikes but if you have something prepared, things will go much more smoothly.
