Original Music Manifesto<br />
Musicians, have you ever had<br />
yourself written up in the<br />
local newspaper, or had your<br />
band’s show in the events<br />
calendar, or even had an article written<br />
on you or your act in the local or regional<br />
magazine? It’s a great feeling and does<br />
wonders for your confidence and your<br />
morale. It gets your name out there to<br />
the general public that may not have<br />
heard of you yet, and your existing fans<br />
love to say, “Hey, I know these guys!”<br />
It is the music columnist that makes this<br />
moment of fame happen. The person<br />
that has a passion for the local music<br />
scene. They take the time to come to<br />
your shows, listen to your new album,<br />
and give you that glowing review.<br />
They have a way with words and often<br />
describe your music in such amazing<br />
metaphors, soliloquies, and alliterations<br />
that you yourself could never have<br />
come up with.<br />
Having a write-up of your band is one of<br />
those benchmarks; it really ligitamizes<br />
your existence and is an important<br />
aspect of your band’s bio and resume.<br />
Having that great quote from the local<br />
music columnist is also essential for<br />
your electronic press kit.<br />
Being that the columnist is also a<br />
critic in a fashion, they may be falsely<br />
assumed to be snobbish, elitist, and<br />
unapproachable. I, however, have<br />
found that if you take the time to write<br />
a show of respect and are gracious<br />
and appreciative of what they do for the<br />
local music scene, they are<br />
very receptive and happy<br />
to set their talents toward<br />
showcasing your band as<br />
well.<br />

The Music Columnist<br />
By C. August Wenger<br />
In my scene of East Florida, one music columnist in particular, immediately comes<br />
to mind. Rick de Yampert is a name known not only locally, but throughout the<br />
country. As well as being a freelance writer, Rick de Yampert was also the Arts<br />
and Entertainment writer for the Daytona Beach News-Journal for 23 years. Over<br />
his career he has written over 22,000 articles, interviewing such legends as Peter<br />
Frampton, Yoko Ono, and Ray Manzarek of The Doors.<br />
Being a musician himself, a sitar player in fact, he really knows what questions to<br />
ask-those that frame the artist in an interesting light, and reveal a side of artists<br />
that a reading audience would be intrigued by. I asked Rick what it is about<br />
the local original music scene<br />
that has inspired him to write<br />
about it all these years, and<br />
what advice he might have for<br />
original artists and aspiring<br />
music columnists.<br />
He told me, “Local scenes have<br />
far more fascinating music than<br />
I imagine even hardcore music<br />
fans in each and every city may<br />
know. There’s more quantity in<br />
bigger cities, but not necessarily<br />
better quality; that’s why I love<br />
writing about the local original<br />
music scene. As for a bit of advice:<br />
Whether it’s making music or<br />
writing about music (if one is so<br />
motivated), the key is to just do it.<br />
There are outlets for your creative<br />
expression, even if it’s posting on<br />
Facebook. Remember that you are your primary audience. Do it because it fulfills<br />
something in you. If someone else connects to your creativity, that’s a bonus.”<br />
Artists, bands, look into your local music columnist, read some of their articles,<br />
reach out to them and offer them up your bio and music; it’s an important step<br />
in your musical journey. If your town does not have a music columnist of note,<br />
maybe it’s time they had one. If writing about music and uplifting your local music<br />
scene seems like something that would fulfill something in you, give it a try. You<br />
may just find you have the knack for it, and your music scene needs you.<br />
Next month, I will continue my Original Music Manifesto with an article on the<br />
Radio DJ who supports local original music. In the meantime, please keep<br />
supporting local original music. Thanks for reading.<br />
