MIA Chatter — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 23:04:30 +0000

Oct 6, 2010 I don't hesitate to tell you all what a great job Mark did both during the performances and the interview on this week's episode of MIA Chatter. Brilliant songwriter, amateur bullfighter, beard enthusiast and all around good fellow. We talked about his upcoming EP, shows, his manager, and songwriting. Be sure to check out his myspace at www.myspace.com/markkulmala or check out his videos at www.youtube.com/markkulmalavid. Good times all around. Tomorrow night on Chatter we're going to change it up and do a Hip Hop feature. Kyle Smith and Dutch from The Aficionados will be joining us for a performance and a chat. We're all very excited. As always, if you have any questions for The Aficionados, shoot an email at miachatter@gmail.com or get a hold of us through our Facebook Page. If anyone's around this Friday I'm playing an acoustic show with James Vinyard at Gig's Grill House downtown on Talbot St. Enjoy Kulmala and have an inspiring Wednesday! -Shorey, MIA Chatter

James starting playing music when he was 8 years old and hasn't stopped since, a former member of" Hunting for Joseph", he has continued his musical career writing music, inspired by artists such as Bruce Springsteen, The Dave Matthews Band and Jack Johnson, creating his own unique style of bluesy rock. Keep an eye out for a show from James, his live performance is always stellar and well worth seeing.

Sept 3, 2010 Welcome to MIA Chatter. A website/podcast dedicated to furthering the education of Music Industry Arts students and anyone that is interested in the audio or Entertainment Business. This site was started by Andrew van der Voort, Justin Shorey and Justin Helle, all of which are 2nd year MIA students. Through our posts and pod casts we plan on discussing topics that we think are important to being successful within MIA. We will also be talking about subjects we think everybody should know about when surviving in the music world and news and updates on local MIA bands. We will be drawing from our personal experiences as musicians and MIA students as well as having guests from within and outside of the program to get other view points on subjects we discuss. We strongly believe that networking and supporting your fellow musicians is the key to success in our industry. Stay tuned for our first pod cast where we will be talking about going into first year MIA and ways you can prepare.
