The awesome Women'sRadio.com wrote a feature about me at SXSW! Check it out here: http://www.womensradio.com/articles/SXSW-2010%3A-Alyson-Greenfield--Live-and-Unplugged-on-6th-St./4737.html

Upon my return from SXSW I sat down at the piano and wrote and recorded a song about change, transformation, and giving in. (At the end of the song I do allude to Mr. Bowie– I couldn’t help it)!

This just in from Hunnypot Unlimited:

VID PICK OF THE WEEK
ALYSON GREENFIELD :: gangsta's paradise live on 6th street at sxsw 2010 - austin, tx

"While surfing the streets of SXSW this last week Hunnypot's Hot Tub Johnny stumbled upon Women's Radio artist pick ALYSON GREENFIELD. The Drip Cam caught Alyson to a sporadic live freestyle of her song 'Border Patrol' with beatboxing by the guys from OxyMorrons. After wowing the crowd with her flow, Alyson gave a wicked rendition of Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise.'" HunnypotUnlimited.com

Going to SXSW for the first time has been amazing and the energy has been infectious! Highlights for me were seeing Marina and the Diamonds, Bear in Heaven, Hole, Snoop Dogg, and of course being part of Mundi Fest where Sandra Bernhard performed her awesome combination of comedy and music (have you heard her version of “Beautiful People”?)! One of my favorite things I got to do was perform my “Border Patrol” RAP in the middle of 6th St with the guys from OxyMorrons after literally meeting them a minute before they started beatboxing!

In a bizarre chain of events I ended up playing on stage last night with Monte Pittman, Madonna's actual guitar player. He sat in on "Glitz and Glamour," the song I wrote about working as part of Madonna's entourage! Strange world! Pete List is on the human beat box!
