Jason Wittman's – The Percussion Section

Actually since my last posting, I have explored the ReverbNation website. This is an entity of its own with a great Facebook widget. It is worth anyone connected with the making and marketing of music or for that matter any performance to check their services out at http://www.reverbnation.com/

Have seen the ReverbNation feature for FaceBook?  This ReverbNation feature is going to wipe out MySpace for bands/musicians! Your fans are migrating fast to FB so you ought to start using this venue now! It makes MySpace totally obsolete. In one FB posting you get everything that MySpace tries to offer: A music player; video player; bio-page; photos; and show schedule!

You can sign up for the service at HERE

We performed at the Metropolitan Community Church – Los Angeles in Hollywood on Friday, December 17, 2010. It was part of a benefit for the Hollywood/Sunset Free Clinic. We did two songs, “Next To Me” and “Can’t Love You Anymore” Here is the video from the performance. Enjoy!

Playing with a new band.  We are rehearsing for a charity gig next Friday and the MCCLA Church to raise money for The Hollywood-Sunset Free Clinic and a children’s toy drive.

Here is the product of our first rehearsal and our first song.

If you are looking for something to do this Friday evening at 9PM and you are in Los Angeles, I am playing percussion in a great new band, The Blue Moons, at the historic Pig n’ Whistle ( http://www.pignwhistle.com/ ) on Hollywood Blvd. The band consists of three violins, a cello, an electric bass, three singers and me on percussion. We are covering songs by Bruce Springsteen, The Bee Gees, UP40, and Talking Heads
