IR: SoCal Mixtape -Year One Retrospective
Todays mixtape celebrates the first year of the SoCal Sessions launching, which occurred this week, one year ago today, on the San Diego feed.
Previous to the launch was a SoCal episode which Jason Evangelho, the main show host, used to smash a glass of Guinness over our prow and send us careening on our way. Michael Catanzaro of the San Diego regional show actually came up with the show name around that time, and the SoCal Sessions soon expanded into its own feed several months later.
This hourlong tape covers some of my favorites since last December, although definitely not all. It would have taken a few more volumes to hit that marker. Trust me, I had several folders of quality local music I had to ween down to put this together.
I would like to ask one thing for those who read this blog and enjoy some of what you’ve heard this past year. Please click on one of the band links below and either a) leave a nice comment or b) purchase a track. In doing so I’m sure you’ll make someone’s day and possibly even inspire some more great music to be created in the future. Consider this small gesture our year-end fundraising drive for local artists who’ve supported us.
Thanks for all the support; more great music on the way soon!
