Many years ago when I was in the early days of publishing to-nite magazine I came up with sort of a zany idea: publishing “Musician Trading Cards” that would feature some of the people I was writing about.
Being busy and technical considerations ended up shelving that idea but now a weekly music showcase host has started an online series that kind of reminds me of that.
I told you previously about Rootsabilly songwriter/shows host Bill Heffernan’s efforts to support the musical community that surrounds his 16-years running Saturday Session shows through administering a musician benefit fund and more recently through promoting online performances by various artists.
(The fund continues to grow, btw, and you can still donate by sending an e-transfer to [email protected] via credit card through the Square.com online portal, or you can provide cash or cheque to Bill directly.)
Now, starting today, Bill is also issuing a new weekly “Saturday Sessions Snapshots” series to his newslettrer subscribers, profiling some of the multitude of guests he’s featured over the years.
Like really nifty trading cards, as he notes, the snapshot series includes a photo of an artist and a very brief bio and summary of their playing details —what “teams” they’ve played with, and “stats” for performances, etc.
Today’s “card” is of songwriter and former Grievous Angels singer Michelle Rumball, who’s been a fixture of the local Roots-Rock/Country scene for over 30 years but still looks zestful and eager when in performance mode.
She also, he notes in today’s send out, now performs online live every Friday from 5-8 on Facebook for your listening pleasure
If you want to collect the set, sign up for Bill’s weekly newsletter by contacting him at [email protected].
