Hey Everyone,

This weekend we are featuring 15 of our favorite music recording artist members here at GWS. We picked the ones who are active in our community and have worked with us in the past.

We send out an email notice to all members about this and it is also listed on the Gay Space main page.. This would be a great opportunity for you to interact with our members and get them to know your music. let them know they are welcome to add your music to their page if you want. This is a feature that is available if you have it set up that way...

Another way to help promote your music.. is invite your friend here to check out your page and all the other members music pages.. You can help each other by cross-promoting..

Here is a copy of the E-mail that was sent out to all our members:

Did You Know They Are Members?

Are you friends with any of our music recording artist members yet?

Kimberley Locke - A great talent and we are please to have her as a member of our GWS Gay Space Network. Kimberley is an American Idol Season Two Finalist, and Curb Recording Artist. Kimberley Locke is one of our straight friends at GayWebSource.com and we commend her on not being afraid to market her music and talent in our community. Please visit her GWS Gay Space page at: http://gaywebsource.ning.com/profile/KimberleyLocke

Pepper MaShay - (real name Jean McClain) is a Urban contemporary/Soul music and House music singer who has had success as a touring and studio performer. As lead vocalist MaShay has released several tracks that have performed well on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, including "Happiness" (1997), "Step Into My Life" (1998), "Sextacy" (2000) and "Send Me an Angel" (2005). Her voice is probably best known from the "Let's get soaking wet!" chanting throughout the Barry Harris track "Dive in the Pool", made famous by its inclusion in the American television series Queer as Folk. Another collaboration with Harris, "I Got My Pride", hit number two on the U.S. dance chart in 2001. Pepper is a straight female who loves to perform in our gay community.

Germanica - He is a true dance music artist. His music speaks for itself. A friend of GayWebSource.com long before the creating of our Gay Space network. Since his friendship with us, Germanica was signed to record label Andromeda. We see great things happening for him and that is not just because his web site germanicamusic.com is hosted by us. What does Germanica mean? - His father is an American, but he was raised by his mother who to this day is a German citizen, so he wanted something that showed the diversity of his cultural background and chose "Germanica" as his stag name. Check out his GWS Gay Space page at: http://gaywebsource.ning.com/profile/JohnakaGermanica

Jason Walker - Billboard #1 sensation Jason Walker has taken the music scene on quite a journey over the past four years. Discovered and groomed by legend Junior Vasquez, Walker has skyrocketed to the top of his genre with unstoppable force since the release of his debut album, “This Is My Life” (JVM) in 2005, which spawned two Billboard #1 and 3 other Billboard Top 10 dance singles. His 2008 sophomore release, “Flexible” (JVM/Centaur) saw the release of his 7th single, and first music video for “I Cant Get You Off My Mind”, which went to #1 on MTV’s network, LOGO, 5 times over a 6 month period. Jason grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and is a long time friend of our GayWebSource.com publisher (Jeffrey Linamen). Check out his GWS Gay Space profile page here: http://gaywebsource.ning.com/profile/JasonWalker

And Many More, It's A Music Weekend At GayWebSource.com

We're looking for shows in Florida during December. We came back from 6 months on tour to find out that our booking agent skipped out with our money and didn't book the dec. tour in florida like he said he did.

So now we're scrambling to line some shows up at the last minute. If you are an Indy band or solo artist, we will trade gigs. You get us a gig anywhere in Florida with a sound system, and we will give you a gig in New York City anytime you want it.

Or if you have connections with a club/venue/bar anywhere in florida please help us out if you can. Thanks so much.
