Simply it's a collection of artists, musicians, poets, comedians etc. who perform without the use of mics, amps or a PA.
I have played a couple of pure acoustic gigs recently and they have been some of my favourite. The freedom and control is a powerful feeling. There is no worry that the sound engineer will get the balance wrong, and the audience response is amazing. They don't have to shout over a loud PA and they actually pay attention to what you are doing.
Initially, I am going to concentrate on gathering together musicians, songwriters and singers, as that is my main area of experience. But I will be expanding as I go on.
All I'm asking is that you give me a commitment that you are willing to perform totally acoustic in the near future.
There is just one other thing you will need, and that is a www.reverbnation.com profile. I'll be using reverbnation to organise everything. I have been on it for a while and it's just the best and it's totally free.
So what do you need to do? Simply get a reverbnation profile and email me your details either at www.reverbnation.com/label/pureacoustica or pureacoustica@gmail.com and I will be in touch.
I've also got a profile at www.myspace.com/pureacoustica to try and generate more interest. There will be a website in the future when I get around to it, I've had the domain name for over a year!
Pure Acoustica will be hosting events in and around the Southampton area to start with, so bear that in mind before committing.
I have many other ideas in the pipeline, but I will let you know those at a later date.
