Get Yourself On Tour

Our first live show recorded in front of an audience @ Sacred Grounds Coffee in Tampa, FL. You'll meet local music promote and organizer, James Geiger who manages two up and coming Tampa area bands, The Cruz Brothers (indie alt rock) and the RXN (indie soul pop).  Both bands speak on their struggles as young professional, balancing the life and music and how they're tackling their artistic goals. After a short interview and live performance from both bands, Renee will pit the two bands against each other in a game we like to call, "So, you want to be a rock star."  Join us at the heart of the local Tampa music scene and meet the people who make it a community. http://www.jamesgeigerphoto.com/http://www.thecruzbrothers.com/http://therxnmusic.com/
