South By Due East 2009 – MUSICeveryMARCH
March 20-23

February 23, 2009 HOUSTON, TX.   SOUTH BY DUE EAST 2009 – Guy Schwartz & Marlo Blue’s Guerilla Marketing Experiment, Movie Shoot, TV Show and Free Independent Music Festival hosts it’s 7th Annual four day live event from Friday March 20th through Monday March 23rd at famed Heights live music venue and groove-ateria  - Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar.

Each year, Blue & Schwartz lead a team of volunteers on a 4-day quest to create tons of live performance video and audio, to be edited and mixed with help from volunteer studio pros including Roger Tausz, Rock Romano, John Moran, DJ Woo, Lion 808 & Chris Rogers, for inclusion on access TV shows (Houston Comcast Channel 17 – Fridays 10pm), posted on the internet (www.hippies.TV www.southbydueeast.com), and given away for free to the artists – all for the purpose of promoting and archiving our Houston original music community.

The public is invited – the admission is free! It feels like a small indie-music festival! From current local favorites (Chango Man, Buxton, Glenna Bell, Rozz Zamorano Trio), local artists from Houston’s past (Oz Knozz, Z-Rocks, Zen Archer), important local artists who’s influence has spanned several musical generations (Little Screamin’ Kenny, Wrecks Bell, Ardis Turner, Teri Greene Band, Little Joe Washington), or regional musicians who often play our area (Freddy Steady Krc, One Eyed Doll) – SOUTH BY DUE EAST 2009 is a cross-genre exploration into the diversity of today’s struggling Houston original music performance scene - without commercial backing!

Tapings run all four days with over 60 artists confirmed for 2009 so far – all performing original material for the Sirius Hippies Productions cameras and recorders.

Schwartz & Blue create a cool gathering of Houston artists, fans, and media makers. Using two stages, two multi-track recording rigs, and multiple cameras to create a 4-day video-shoot and free music festival event, SOUTH BY DUE EAST serves as the content basis for the new Friday night Houston Media Source cable series ‘MUSICeveryMARCH’ (10pm Fridays) and it’s sister show, ‘SOUTH BY DUE EAST Television’ (which begins it’s third season on HMS-TV, Houston Comcast cable channel 17, this May), as well as providing music and video for five SOUTH BY DUE EAST compilation CDs, 3 feature length films, over 100 episodic TV shows, and over 200 webclips used to promote the individual artists AND the Houston original music, poetry and (beginning 2008) comedy scene.

SOUTH BY DUE EAST 2009 will be held in the Houston Heights at Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar, 1031 East 24th Street, 77008. Begins at 7pm FRI & MON, and 3pm SAT-SUN.

Everyone is invited to attend! Admission is free, but donations are welcomed.
