Why didn't I hear about this earlier? Rustic Overtones has reunited for some tour dates around Portland! They made an appearance in the WCYY studio on May 18th to announce the good news! Seriously, why didn't I know about this already? Their first performance will be a patio show outside thw WCYY studio. I'm so excited! I haven't seen them perform since 1997! They were my first favorite rock band! Woohoo!

My name is Dylan Martin, and I'm a senior at South Portland High School. I will be attending USM next year for Media Studies. I'm an aspiring music journalist, and I'm proud to be a part of the MaineToday.com Blogger family!

Music is more than just a hobby for me; it's a lifestyle. I listen to music everyday, and I always try to purchase new albums whenever I get the chance. I love going to concerts. My favorite artists include They Might Be Giants, Of Montreal, Ben Folds, Frank Zappa, My Morning Jacket, and Belle & Sebastian. No matter how satisfied with the music I have, I'm always trying to expand my musical tastes, hence the title "musical astronaut."

In this musical blog of mine, you can expect to read about bands, albums, concerts, and promotions for the latter. I'm in a band, so you can expect to read about that as well.

For my first real entry, I will be writing a review of a Guster show I attended a few days ago. It was an amazing show, so I can't wait to write about it!
