Best Male Vocalist

Sean-Paul Kelley | San Antonio | March 17

Radio Agonist - My good friend Guy Forsyth won the Austin Chronicle's Best Male Vocalist of the Year Award recently and I decided it was time to upload the hour we had him on Radio Agonist in December.

The segment is 30 plus minutes and the mp3 is 37.2mb, so fair warning. This is an awesome segment, however. Guy gets in five songs and we manage to discuss the whole gamut of topics. We talk about the sad and sorry state of pop radio. The relevance of music and protest. The blues--man how I love the blues. We talk about steel guitars, women, politics, love and the home we both love with all our hearts: America.

You can access past Radio Agonist clips here or the Forsyth clip alone here. At some point I will post the indidual songs, until then listen to the full segment. It's fun.

And if you've never heard Guy Forsyth before I envy your new discovery. I promise it'll be like stumbling into an awesome book in the wrong section, or getting the wrong dish at a restaurant you fall in love with. Guy's the real deal.

Have a great weekend!

Guy Forsyth and the Asylum Street Spankers

I've been a musician/performer for many years in Ohio, but when I saw Guy Forsyth perform in a video by the Asylum Street Spankers, I knew I had a long way to go in the presentation of a song. He is a powerful performer, rooted in Vaudeville, blues, and hoakum. I showed my group the video to inspire us to the next level. On DVD, it is "Asylum Street Spankers Re-Assembly, the 10th Anniversary reunion concert." The other performers are excellent, too, but to me Guy stands a little above the rest.

Thanks Sean-Paul

It's about time this Guy gets the recognition he deserves. Saw him briefly last night at SXSW. Man, Austin is hopping. Winning best male vocalist in Austin, live music capital of the world, is no small task.

If you can do it in Austin, you can do it anywhere.

I did inhale.

Locals mark Iraq war anniversary with demonstration

News 8 Austin

The sounds of a New Orleans-style jazz funeral filled the air as anti-war activists in Austin marked the third anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Demonstrators gathered about noon at the Federal Building in downtown Austin and marched to City Hall. There a rally included speakers and music by South by Southwest performers Guy Forsyth and Carolyn Wonderland.

"The main motive is we all realize that this war should not have happened and there's no reason to be there even one minute longer -- That the sooner we leave, the sooner the Iraqi people will be able to find peace among themselves,” Lea Ahmed of Women in Black said...
