    DC Bebop's Interests
Music The Music is the Message

The DC area has produced many music greats. A lot of them are no longer with us, but into the void come the fresh and the new and not just from DC, from all over the world.

Recognizing this potential, I created DC Bebop as a beacon to highlight the work of both established and growing artists.  DC Bebop is a voice for both the arts and music. While not a panacea for a lack of press coverage for these artists, DC Bebop provides some exposure that (hopefully) will help.

http://www.dcbebop.com..

In support of artists, I highlight weekly a musician on this page.  It features a link to the artist's MySpace music page  as well as a link to an online resource, which will generally be an article about them...


Featured Musician

Featured this week, Guitarist David Gallegos has played since picking up an old guitar at the age of 13. He has been playing rock and metal for the greater portion of his career, but David began listening to and writing music with a softer, more emotional touch and in 2003, he began working on his first full-length Latin new age CD. David took his experiences from working with many bands and decided to write, record, design, and release his solo CD completely on his own "Mis Recuerdos", was self-released at the end of 2004. With the CD completed, David moved from San Antonio to Dallas to begin showcasing his music. In Dallas, David met guitarist Sammy Echeverry, bassist Rick Read and drummer/percussionist Ross Young.  They formed the "Power of Omens" which is active in various Venues around Dallas.

I really appreciate the fact that you took time out of your busy schedule to do that for me.

Hey Leon,
Thanks for the add and the message. I admire your work to support other independent musicians. Seen a lot of music around DC, being from Baltimore, so good to see your working to foster it. ;)

Cheers,
Lin
