WINTER 2003

Winter is exciting here at RajiWorld because it reminds us of our second favorite thing to do (after live music of course) - eating!! We realize how lucky we are at this time of year to enjoy the delights of the season and so would really love to help out those that are in need. We are sponsoring a Food & Fund Drive with the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas, an organization that receives and distributes food and grocery products to people in need throughout Central Texas. Your food and monetary donations will help many Food Bank programs such as Kids Café which provides a hearty evening meal three times a week to more than 1,300 children living in low-income neighborhoods in Austin; Fresh Food For Families which distributes fresh fruits and veggies to families in need; and others amazing programs for the community. Our Food & Fund drive will be open until December 31st – If you would like to make a donation please follow this link donate here.

Also this November and December the incredible duo of Jon Dee Graham and Jud Newcomb are out on tour – check out the dates here:

OCTOBER 2003

October is our favorite month here at RajiWorld. With the gorgeous weather and excitement of Halloween in the air we also have a new addition to the office and to the roster! Please help us welcome Nanette Scalzo to the office, I know you will enjoy working with her as much as I do.

We hope you will follow us to Folk Alliance in San Diego this coming February so you will get a sneak peak at Berkley Hart who we feel are going to make an important impact on live music with their warm heartfelt beach beat.


SEPTEMBER 2003

If you attended the ACL Festival with your kids you are already in the know of why we are thrilled to announce the addition of The Jellydots


 

AUGUST 2003

This last bit of August is filled with magic
as RajiWorld picks up booking for one of
our all time favorite’s. We are very very
proud to announce the addition of Jon Dee Graham.


JULY 2003

It has been a quick June and July, We were mesmerized by Patrice Pike at The High Sierra Music Festival, they say the addition of Patrice Pike and the Blackbox Rebellion to the scene is a wonderful thing. “Hailing from Austin, Texas, Patrice absolutely rocks, plain and simple. You might remember Patrice from such bands as Sister Seven (which used to be Little Sister). She is now rocking with the Blackbox Rebellion which plays a little bit of everything. Her vocal abilities are hard to deny as she squeals, scats, and soars with ease. "People ask me, 'What kind of music do you play?' And I say, 'I don't know, it's just music!'" Patrice told intrigued listeners at her Vaudeville Tent set. "High Sierra should have a T-shirt that says, 'It's all just music!'" Patrice won some new fans that day.”

I was lucky enough to travel from Northern CA to Montana up to Calgary to watch the Friends of Dean Martinez. At the Calgary Folkfest. The lineup was diverse enough to cover artists like Elvis Costello, Ani DiFranco, Ricky Skaggs, Daniel Lanois and Blue Rodeo but what actually happened on stage crossed even bigger boundaries. FODM were the backup band in one afternoon for folksy jazz diva Jane Siberry and multi faceted hip-hop spoken word master Buck 65.

We wish all of our artists and fans some great memories at shows like The Park City Art’s Festival, Cactus Cafe, Vermont Festival of the Arts, The Arc Otsego Art’s Festival, Mc Cabes, Fez , Sweetwater, and Bumbershoot.

Stay tuned for September which will find Roggie and her client Ian Moore taking part in the Southwestern Regional Folk Alliance Conference, More on this soon as well as a recap of Ian’s performance at Kerrville’s Wine and Music Festival and pictures and press of the big Austin City Limits Festival (year two) which will feature RajiWorld clients Beaver Nelson, Ian Moore and Patrice Pike as well as REM, Steve Winwood ( to include Randall Bramblett is his lineup) Ben Harper, Al Green, String Cheese, Bright Eyes, Lucinda....:).


MAY 2003

We love May flowers and Cinco de Mayo celebrations and the start of festival season. We hope to see you celebrating amidst the wildflowers in Kerrville at this years festival as The Resentments join in the fun. You can buy a ticket for that show here. The Resentments play on Day 4 of the festival, Sunday, May 25.

We are thrilled to announce the debut release from longtime Beaver Nelson guitarist and Resentment Jud Newcomb, on which he is courageously supported by his friends Bruce Hughes (Resentments, Bob Schneider) on bass and Conrad Choucroun (Damnations, Banana Blender Surprise) on drums. Turbinado features 12 original songs that run the gamut from true love to insanity in the age of possibility.

Please take a moment to look at our new and improved Currently Available page. We got so many compliments on our email updates that we decided to put it up on the site each week as well. If you are not currently getting the update and would like to or know of a friend who would like to please sign up using this link.
