Summerville Dream To Promote Streaming By Local Musicians

Story by Rob Rosenblum

In order to help area musicians to continue to perform for their audiences, Summerville Dream, a Summerville based non-profit, will highlight and promote recorded video performances.

The man behind this effort is local folk-rock guitarist and singer Dan Riley.

Riley has played frequently at Home Grown Brew House and hosts the Knightsville Porch Jam at Knightsville general store open house.
 
“What I am doing is a collaboration with Summerville Dream’s Steve Doniger,” Riley said..” People had been chatting about how we could feature musicians who normally play live. I’m a singer and songwriter and organize events and part of a network of musicians.  I’m just a friendly guy trying to connect with as many people as possible.”

“I am reaching out to musicians and asking them to send videos to me to be featured on the Summerville Dream page,” he explained.  “All we need is a simple video on their phone or Facebook live. It has to be music they own the rights to or public domain.”

Riley asks that you send files and links and biographical information to him by email at danrileysongsmith@gmail.com. If they have an electronic tip jar, include that information as well. If you have trouble sending larger files, try using www.wetransfer.com, a free data transfer site.
