Social Media Narratives
As an independent artist, I've learned trying to keep up with how social media algorithms prioritize content in people's feeds is an unrelenting challenge. However, I know video often takes precedence over print, so I work to produce weekly posts that maximize both video and audio content, complete with both original and commonly used hashtags.
Because not everyone who views these galleries employs social media platforms, and many artists and musicians have conflicted relationships with social media, I've instead reposted what I've composed here, so you don't have to enter Facebook or Instagram in order to view the content.

Augmeanted's Harp & Sol (2024)
|
|
Greetings everyone,
My cousin & are giddy with glee to be able to share our newest creation with everyone this August. Harp & Sol is a new musical folk tale that imaginatively weaves the story about a spider at the center of all things that creates the instruments upon which the Earth’s music is played. Save the date to join us at the venue nearest you. We’ll be sharing the work in Puposky at Mask & Rose Women's Theater Collective‘s Bella Thalia Creative Arts Center, Fosston’s Aurora Center For The Arts, and Park Rapids’ Armory Arts & Events Center. Ticket info arriving later this summer, but dates, details and more are at www.augmeanted.net/tales.html This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota, through an Artists Engage Community Grant from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. #harpnsol #bemidji #originalmusic #taleweaving #spiderworks #violin #puppetry #folktales |

We’re taking suggestions for how on this beautiful earth you might describe just what it is @Geoffrey Taylor does when he plays his fiddle so? Mary’s best offering is rib-tickling you like an Appalachian firefly. Leave your own attempt in the comments below.

Join Augmeanted in the #406 (Montana ) this June! Some of you live there. Some of you used to make it home. Some of you get starry eyed at the mention of its name, tell us how much you long to go.
We will turtle our way across the state June 7-10, from the mountains of mud in the East to the mountains of rock in the West, playing tunes inspired in part by what George Winston means when he said, "Miles City is my melodies.” Join us to celebrate the release of our first album, Life, Twice, as we let the songs fly back to our Big Sky. See details for our concerts in Glendive, Billings, Bozeman, and Missoula at: www.augmeanted.net. #missoulamusic #localmusic #originalmusic #classicalrock #violin #montanamusic |
Coil (Winter 2023)

A Mudsong for you, about the black and blue muddy banks of the Minnesota River. Original stories. Fresh songs. Crafted from the sloppy, raw mess of life? That’s what we do.
Mudsong’s been doing so as a band for a decade, yet, you’ve probably never heard of us. We prefer the potter’s wheel to the art fair, finding ourselves stepping out of the studio about once a year to set some new tunes free. Join us as we cut our newest tunes from their wheel. Coil, Mudsong’s Album Release Show Fri, Feb 17 • 8-10 pm • Brigid’s Pub 🎶 Blue Earth by Mudsong. The new album, Coil, drops Feb 14. All our love to Supple Studios for the wizardry in bringing it to life. #livemusic #rocknsoul #bemidji #rocknroll #MnMusic #originalmusic #localmusic #womeninmusic |

Anyone else need to get their funk & wiggles out in February?
Join us for this and many other tunes: Coil, Mudsong’s Album Release Show Fri, Feb 17 • 8-10 pm • Brigid’s Pub • Bemidji “Never say love is like anything. It isn’t.” ~Michael Chabon Coil, the new album drops Feb 14. Big love to Supple Studios for the wizardry in bringing it to life. 🎶 Love is Not and Equation, Mudsong, from the February 17 album release show @Brigid’s. #livemusic #rocknsoul #bemidji #rocknroll #MnMusic #originalmusic #localmusic #womeninmusic |

Evenings with Mudsong open on the hearthfire of the bass guitar and grow progressively funkier from there. If your head dips & nods like a descendant of Bill Withers, if you take lyrical gut-punches from Dawes, or your hips wiggle to Stax’s Memphis Soul, you’ll enjoy the rollicking, sometimes reeling, ride that is an evening with Mudsong. Join us Feb. 17 as we release our newest adventure, Coil. See the link in our bio for details.
Boundless thanks to ERay and The Occassionals for keep the shimmy, wiggle, and jive alive here in these Northwoods. #livemusic #rocknsoul #bemidji #rocknroll #MnMusic #originalmusic #localmusic #womeninmusic |
CelloWoman (2021)
|
|
The last time Geoffrey Taylor was fiddling by the Mississippi River, he was in Memphis along it's wide muddy banks. Rumor has it that it takes a drop of water at the Headwaters 90 days to make it's way downstream to the Gulf of Mexico. We're hoping that counts for a sonorous note of music, too 🙏🏼.
Come listen to Geoffrey on his #chincello in THREE WEEKS on June 4 & 5. Details at the link in our bio. #chincello #bemidji #cello #originalmusic #livemusic |

CelloWoman is a collection of song strung between sorrow and the sublime. We'll explore the tensions of when the opposites in life collide: joy with sorrow, gravity with light, voice with silence.
Come listen to Geoffrey string together the melancholy and the bliss on his #chincello in TWO WEEKS on June 4 & 5. Details at the link in our bio. #chincello #bemidji #cello #originalmusic #livemusic |

Bemidji is blessed with an abundance of live music venues that bring out the warmth and resonance of each note. But nothing can compare to the River Room at RailRiver Folk School, yes?
Come hear for yourself. THIS WEEKEND. June 4 & 5. Details at the link in our bio. #chincello #bemidji #cello #originalmusic #livemusic |
