Welcome to my site - new readers and Rock Boaters alike. I know many of you were promised tons of awesome audio interviews, video of live local music, and concert reviews, and all of these are on their way shortly. I am working with my design team and fellow music loving co-conspirators (contributors?) on the exact way to offer you all - my fellow rock revelers, my lyric loving faithful - the best we here at “Before the lights come up” can give. Please browse through my blog posts of the past weeks, and check back often, as I will be leaking some great stuff before the official relaunch happens. And most importantly… please offer feedback and comments when content does come out - this site is about all of us - so from guest posts, to discussion topics, I want this to be an interactive music experience for us all. I aim to be the lead singer of this site, so to speak, but you all are my band - it doesn’t happen, and sure isn’t as much fun, without you involved.

For now, you can see some videos over at my YouTube page - SamTeichman926, and I promise to have some new stuff up by the weekend, Rock Boat and NYC stuff alike, video, audio, and written content. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your time with me.
