The ABC's of Musician: Breck Stewart
The ABC's of Music- Playful Interviews with International Musicians and Bands
Of all the glorious things that the world wide web has brought us, I am continually entranced by the array of art, artists and musicians that are only a click away. My personal quest for the new and delicious finds me spending a lot of time at sites like Deviantart.com (visual arts) and Reverbnation.com (music) and Gotpoetry.com (poetry).
It's a pleasure and an honor to introduce some of the gems I've uncovered there. Expect more reviews and interviews. (It's the only way I can justify the amount of time and pure escapist joy I find there.)
Some of my favorite bands were sent an interview in the style of an ABC list. What follows are their answers in their entirety.

Post a CommentI like you ABC style listing for questions. What a great idea. Good article!!!
Great info! I had never heard of Breck Stewart.
I'm specifically doing Artists (in a wide selection of genres) that you won't have heard of. I don't expect you to like all of them. Many of the musicians I'm following are part of a musical collective project I'm part of on Reverbnation.com . I'm deliberately starting with those that are "mutual fans" of mine as well. It's a fun way for me to promote and get to know them. The "Steven Does" of the band "Make Celebrities History" he mentions as his Favorite is the guy who put the collective together.
Never heard of him/them?
Thanks for the Info:)
