Six String Bliss album contributions roll in

Press Release for September 26th, 2010

Contributions are rolling in for the next Six String Bliss community produced album, tentatively titled Trans-Genred. The theme of the album is “genre bending”; covering an old song in a completely different style. We’ve already received six submissions from 3 continents, including 2 cross-border collaborations. It will be a truly global effort.

There’s time before the final deadline of October 15th to get you submissions in and, Six String Bliss, the longest-running guitar-centric Podcast on the Internet, continues to seek more contributions for the album. As with all previous album projects, this will be a collaborative effort by members of their listening community. It has come about through audience participation in the Six String Bliss forum. Everything from the subject matter, to the proposed Album Cover are direct results of forum discussion between the listeners. The specific thread that documents this project (including many classic examples of “genre-bending” in case you aren’t sure what we’re looking for in submissions) can be found at the Six String Bliss Forum.

All guitarists are welcome to join in the fun of the Six String Bliss Forum. Projects like this will continue to thrive so long as there is an active community to make these happen. So please come by, introduce yourself, and join in the next project. If you get your skates on, you could even contribute to this one. Just send them in to sixstringbliss@gmail.com.
