For a while there on Scene SC every other post was about Allison Weiss. And why not dude? She is awesome and we knew that she was about to hit it big and we were trying to do our little part and help her out. We even got to go to Athens and see her first headlining show at the 40 Watt and get some video.
Now she is featured on one of our favorite podcast CD Baby DIY. A podcast that all musicians should listen to if they want to be semi educated about how to make a living playing music. On episode #71 Allison talks about The Kickstarter effect and how she raised thousands of dollars to fund her new album.
As you can see at the top of the page she is also featured on Tumblr. Check out her blog entry below.
Hey check it out! I’m a featured Tumblr musician!
Also, you might notice (and many of you have) that my song “I’m Ready” is the sample audio in the Tumblr customize page. This happened after I emailed Marco and said, “Hey, I noticed you guys don’t have a sample audio post. Would you like to use my song?” So awesome!
Everyone thinks they know how much I love Tumblr, but seriously you have no idea. It’s through Tumblr that I have gotten to know some of my favorite people on the planet, many who I’ve come to consider as some of my best friends. I could gush for hours about how this website has changed my life and opened so many doors over the past couple years, or I could just post this screencap of me and John Vanderslice giving our testimonials:
Thank you Tumblr for being so incredibly supportive of me and my musical endeavors. I love you guys!
that shit is valid.
allison is blowing up.
