Our purpose is to support, promote and archive all of the great original music
from the Houston, Texas, USA and greater Texas Gulf Coast area. Donations
help in the creation of digital media, media distribution opportunities, and
live recording events which promote awareness of Houston's music, create
media to share in that effort through TV, radio, and internet distribution, and
give tools to the artists. We strive to create a permanent archive in this effort
as well. Our efforts will benefit from whatever additions to our activities are
created by the increase in available funds, and the news of your grant or donation
will help convince others of our bona fide efforts and viability,
encouraging them to participate, as well!

The founders of this new non-profit have been holding an annual video shoot
and recording session for 16 years, assembling an all-volunteer technical
crew and recording dozens of Houston's great original music creators,
sharing the music and videos with the world via the internet, Cable TV and
terrestrial radio, while providing free high-quality audio and video media to
the artists who want to make use of it. We let the public attend for FREE, so it
has become a free indie-music festival, showcasing Houston's original music
community, as well. Your grant will allow us to include more artists, and help
open and add new venue opportunities for our network of broadcasters,
podcasters, and bloggers.
