Sam’s Sunday School On the Road!

August 22nd and August 29th (and one more date TBA) I’m taking Sam’s Sunday School on the road! We are going to invite 3 lucky local acts to play acoustically on a rooftop patio downtown! This will be the first time Sam’s Sunday School has done anything outside of the Alice studio and I’m excited to get it going. Plus, it will be a great opportunity for you see some great live and local music for free!

If you are in a local band and are interested in being featured in this fun experiment of mine please email me sam@alice1059.com. If I’ve featured your music before on Alice, I will just need to know of your interest. If you’ve never submitted your band’s music before, I’ll need contact information, a sample of your music and a photo of your band (or yourself if you’re a singer/songwriter).

Thanks for checking out my blog from Sam’s Sunday School. Here you link up with any of the artists that you heard on tonight’s show! Comments are welcome or you can email me: sam@alice1059.com
