Tim Angsten - The Fire In Youth's February Featured Artist

My friend, Timothy Blaze, has made me one of February's featured artists on his website. Tim is the founder of "The Fire In Youth" and is also an amazing artist. It is so great to have people like Tim in the community. His willingness to bring Austin artists together is wonderful and I truly thank him for it.

Please support a great movement and check out not only my section, but also all of the other amazing artists. "The Fire In Youth" is a cool site, with some of the most amazing artwork, photography, poetry and music you've never seen or heard.

It is refreshing to know that there are still youth in the world that put down the video games and T.V remotes and instead create beautiful things. That's why I asked Timothy Blaze to spotlight the video below. If you are one of the inspiring people I'm talking about, please check out the video below and wake yourself up to the info war...

Ch..Ch..Ch..Ch...Changes


A lot of changes have been taking place in my life. It's crazy when you stop and assess where you were and where you have come. I cannot believe it has already been two years since I moved to Texas. Time is truly a mysterious mechanism.
 
Well, that's enough philosophy from me for one day. I've been working on a lot of new songs and I hope to have some of them recorded and released very soon. I think you will enjoy the new tunes very much!

I've been working on getting back to writing when the musical spirit moves me. It's so easy to get lost in believing that you write music to make money. Although I completely understand why they call it the "Music Business", I also believe you can be over taken by that side to easily.

Lately, I've started writing about myself again, and all the topics that apply to me, rather than what the "market" would want to hear. Well, I am the market. I'm an individual who has emotions and feelings. And if I have emotions, someone else is bound to relate to them in some way. Long story short, it feels good to be writing like this again.
 
Don't forget to check my website for upcoming shows and other news. And if you have any venues you know of that would enjoy an acoustic solo act, let me know. I will try and book a show in your area!
