* Daytrottering 2016 *

I've been doing special editions of the Gimme A Beat that I called appropriately Daytrottering, for many years now. In these shows I show love for one of the coolest music websites out there: Daytrotter. Before I started with these special episodes, I was already a fan (and a member) of Daytrotter for many years. In 2011, I reached out to Mr Daytrotter, Sean Moeller, mastermind behind the concept, asked for permission and he said yes.

So here we are again this year.

Before going any further, let me remind you what Daytrotter is all about.

Daytrotter sessions are exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favourite bands and by a lot of bands that will be your favourites. Minimalist recording process used to records songs of the visiting band in the setup that is configurable, makes a very honest presentation of the band/artist on that particular day, in the physical and musical sense. These songs are them as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour - dirty and alive.

In the beginning, Daytrotter dudes were giving 7 original sessions, 28 songs for free each week. Over the years they recorded more then 2000 sessions and gave it for free to million of music lovers like me. In 2012, the things have changed, but luckily for all of us, not the "Why" of Daytrotter, but the "How" of Daytrotter.

Therefore today, in order to help Daytrotter continue doing what it has been doing throughout the years, all of you, real music lovers can purchase Daytrotter membership for either ridiculously low $2.99 a month or $32 for the entire year or two year pass for only $60. And if you are a student you can listen to everything on Daytrotter for free!!

The membership allows you access to everything on the site: all new session postings (5 new sessions posted Mon to Fr - roughly 100 new songs weekly), the archive of over 2000 previous Daytrotter sessions and audio and video content of hundreds and hundreds of exclusive Barnstormer tour shows and other live performances throughout the years.

Also, you can stream all the sessions to your computer or Daytrotter iPhone or Android apps, wherever you may be. It's as if you're in the studio with your favourite artists.

In addition to the sessions recorded in the Horseshack studio (original daytrotter studio) in Rock Island, Illinois, Daytrotter guys are working closely with Communion Records in London and friends/studios in in Montreal, Portland, Oregon, Nashville, Asheville, NC, Austin, Texas and San Francisco and few other places, in order to chronicle as much as they can.

Available are stuff like cute drawings of the artists (which makes it also very easy to search for them in extensive archive), short impression/biography stories on daytrotter session artists page as well as easy to use Daytrotter Mobile Apps.

There are concert videos showing artists performing live, from Daytrotter's Barnstormer tours, to the stages of Austin and beyond.The featured playlists are available as well.

Believing that live music is what the future of music is all about, it is only natural that I am a big fan and supporter of Daytrotter and everything that this project stands for.

Therefore I decided to Daytrotter at least once per year with Gimme A Beat listeners through my selection of the Daytrotter Sessions performed by female artists/all-female bands or bands with female vocalists.
