P.A.O. PRODUCT IONS
P.A.O. Productions is dedicated to promoting and encouraging the growth of the Dallas-area arts, poetry, music, and entertainment scene and of those involved in it. Although this includes any and all aspects of the arts scene, the primary focus is on those who pursue their art independent of the big sponsors and promotional machines. Any and all local performers and artists are welcome to contact me.


Deep Ellum Arts Festival 2012 weekend

I experienced some really cool artists during the festival weekend, including some punk/ska, metal, singer/songwriter, folk, and reggae/Latin performers. Check out photos of some of these performances as well as pictures from this month's Mad Swirl Open Mic and Emmeline's March 31st rooftop performance on the Week in Review page.

I also finally got to meet the host of the Ghost of Blind Lemon blog, a fellow lover and supporter of the local music scene. He's a cool guy who works to promote local talent via his blog as well as by booking shows around the Dallas area. Be sure to check out his blog.
