Roxie Beane: The Person

My photo
Milwaukee, WI, United States
Your average cubicle dweller by day. Sarcastic and pigeon-toed. Often overly precise about the tiniest details - I exhaust myself. The ultimate Donna Summer fanatic. I love to laugh at things... silly things. I'm a grouch. Music makes and breaks me. For me, the world wide web is endless jubilee! Welcome to my blog. I'm Roxie Beane.

Fan-Belt Feature


Just wanted to take the time to both document and share another awesome opportunity I recently had, being featured on Fan-Belt Milwaukee, a site that highlights and sings the praises of Miwaukee musicians, in blog form.

A Fan-Belt editor attended a show of mine on December 3rd at Art Bar, enjoyed what I did, and gave me a feature/interview on Fan-Belt!


Again, thanks to everyone for continued support, as always.

My OurStage Writeup!

Hey!

So I had the awesome privilege of getting my first write up by OurStage EJ, Host, and Producer - Alyssa. http://blog.ourstage.com/2008/09/22/rehab-cover-good-for-monday-morning-hangover/

In her blog, Alyssa gives kudos to my cover of the Amy Winehouse tune "Rehab" - as it soothed her in her both amusing and relatable time of need.

Check it out at the link above, and thanks for visiting!
