The Musicians Around Me

I don't know about you, but I love great music. I listen to almost everything from Classical to Old School Hip Hop. In my early teens I discovered a band called Nirvana and they lit my mind on fire. Ever since then I have been searching for artists I can follow that and grow with musically. Let them pour their love for the art form to propel them into an artistic trance that forces them to create. Armed with this passion, I find the music to be exquisitely exciting. If you are around the Sacramento area and enjoy really great music these are some of the bands and artists I can recommend to check out if you want to hear something special. If you like Nirvana mixed with the White Stripes listen to Wolfhouse. If you like Bob Dylan mixed with Johnny Cash listen to Pat Walsh. If you like the Dixie Chicks mixed with Sheryl Crow listen to Xochitl. If you like Metallica mixed with Incubus listen to Some Fear None. If you like BB King mixed with James Taylor listen to Thomas Hatch.
If you like No Doubt mixed with Oasis listen to Once an Empire. There are a lot of great musicians in our area once you've heard their music you will get an accurate picture of the great talent we are blessed to have. I hope to meet more artist and collaborate.
