[FM] Michael McNevin seeking FA Gorillas

[MMcnevin@aol.com]

Hi FMDigest and FA folks!

I've kept my head in the sand the last few months, deliberately I think, 
while the Canada FA conference and gorilla showcases have been gearing up. 
(Had I done my own usual gear up and "planning", I'd have started worrying in 
July, and I'd be a wreck by Feb :-)  Subconsiously or not, I have concerts 
booked in Portland the weekend prior, so I'm routed perfectly to go north 
after that. I'd love to play at FA if I make it over the border.  Any leads 
to gorilla slots would be very welcome. 

Short Bio: 
Past Kerrville New-Folk winner, Performing Songwriter DIY record of the year, 
Mainstager at Philly Folk Fest, Strawberry Music Fest, Kerrville Folk Fest, 
Telluride Troubadour Finalist. Etch A Sketch artist of some renown. Winner of 
the1999 NARAS/NCSA "Unplugged Unsigned" competition, nominated for “Artist of 
the Year� by the National Academy of Songwriters, 4-time winner of the NCSA 
"Song of the Year" award.

"...heard you on the KFOG acoustic Sunday morning show ...bagging groceries 
and an Etch-A-Sketch.  Two of my historical accomplishments--dig the tunes."  
    
        -- Tony Bennett

"I don't know what's best about this CD - Michael McNevin's music or his Etch 
A Sketch drawings that accompany each song. McNevin is a singer-songwriter of 
the highest order...
        --Acoustic Guitar Magazine

"Michael is one of folk music's best kept secrets. His first album, 
"Secondhand Story" is still one of my favorites, and "Sketch" firmly 
establishes Michael as a songwriter to be reckoned with. His voice is 
hypnotic, his guitar playing superb, production perfect. Get this disk."
        --Christine Lavin

I hope its alright to post this here. Take care everybody, and if I don't see 
you, it means I'm on the Oregon coast, or I'm visiting my Mom in Weaverville.

Thanks and all the best!
Michael McNevin
