Tony Youngblood does a lot of things for Nashville and they almost all fall under the label of the Avant Garde, Experimental or Heavily Artistic. This is a phenomenal thing for Nashville but can often also be hard to understand. For instance, he’s put together the 2012 Circuit Bender’s Ball – a one-day festival at The Brick Factory that will showcase various workshops on electronic tinkering, making musical devices and performances from a number of experimental artists. They are raising Kickstarter money to make the non-profit festival a success. They’re only looking for $1,000 – a pricetag that seems incredibly achievable, particularly if people donate a little bit for the pure sake of continuing to push Nashville past the tired label of Country Music HQ. Go watch the video and toss them a few shekels, I think you’ll feel good about it.
