    I’d like to say I am an up and comer… but I’m really just a 20 year amateur.

    categories and sub-categories….. thanks for the post. How about “Progressive Country” act from Florida McKinley and Beggs. They”ve been around a while, but have a rave review from Robert K. Oermann of Music Row Magazine in Nashville, were discovered by Mel Tillis. http://www.reverbnation.com/mckinleyandbeggs

    Nine Inch Nails, not Nine In Nails

  • John Remmers

    Dunno if I’m up-and-coming, and I’m certainly not a star, but I’m a ragtime piano player with a CD and a bunch of YouTube videos. You can get to all those from the “Links” section of my G+ profile. (And you can categorize this comment as shameless self-promotion if you like.)

  • Randi5

    Hey guys, I would appreciate it if you would check out my google+ profile as well. I am a country music artist and I’m looking at opening for Dierks Bentley next year.

    Let me know what you think of my music, add me to your circles and I’ll add you to mine!

    When I first got on G+, I started assembling a list of musicians, most not famous. It’s the non-famous ones that are actually there and engaging with people, for the most part. https://plus.google.com/u/1/116253377659050373433/posts/WwnHGfDa9Jw

    Gabe Klavun is a genius. I’ve heard his other pieces – some of his originals – and they are mindblowingly good.

    I think you forgot one great musician who is working her magic on Google+ – Me! ;) I do a weekly OPEN MIC via hangouts and I also have been taking my hangouts on the road with me and giving my followers a behind the scenes look at what happens at my gigs in what I call my “Backstage Pass” Hangout Series. I LOVE google+ for all the doors it opens for little undiscovered musicians like myself. If you ever want to include me in the “list” I’d be thrilled!!
