* Daytrottering 2017 *

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 to do them and fortunately for my Gimme A Beat's listeners, he said yes.

Last year and after 10 years Sean left Daytrotter, only keeping minority share in the company.

But Daytrotter legacy continues, so there is no reason not to share Daytrotter aswesomeness this year again.

Before going any further though, 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.

The membership allows you to stream, download, and discover your favorites. And with over 6,200 sessions there is definitely something for everyone to chose and fall in love with.
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), links or/and short impression/biography stories on daytrotter session artists page as well as easy to use Daytrotter Mobile apps. In January of 2016, Daytrotter experience got upgraded when Daytrotter opened the doors to their new live music venue, located in the heart of Downtown Davenport, Iowa. In February 2016, the first annual Daytrotter Downs festival was held there with an idea to bring together next thoroughbreds in music.

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.
