June is a month full of life. Torrential downpours and tornados seem to tear through the state, making way for new blooms and blossoms. There's something about this time of year where the colors just pop. We celebrate the warm weather with farmers’ markets and garage sales. Meanwhile, we celebrate our pride with rallies and marches.
This volume, released in the middle of June is timely. The world feels like it's been building up to a level of craziness we haven't seen for decades. We aim to give you a break from the wild world while showing you the people making it better. This issue breaks down the lives of five local bands and musicians. Through research and interviews, you'll get a glimpse into how they grew up, how they found music, and what the future looks like for each of them.
The overall theme of this issue is local music, but we've sprinkled in some other fun articles. June is not only Pride month, it contains Father's Day, and represents the start of Summer.
This edition is dedicated to my dad, who shaped my life and continues to be someone I look up to today. Taking it further, we'll analyze what it means to be a dad, and what that looks like in 2025.
Pride month holds immense value to a lot of people, and at Shoot the Breeze Magazine we believe in people as people. To us, your labels just don't matter. Gay, straight, male, female, artist, musician, manager, director, all just labels. Labels have their use to quickly identify someone's role in a given scenario, but to us, you are just a person. People are unique though, and something that separates us from other mammals is our sense of pride. We'll explore pride from different perspectives, and maybe convince you to look at pride a little differently.
As always, this magazine will close out with something educational. Starting with educating you about the nonprofit we're sponsoring this issue, Red Dirt Relief Fund. An awesome organization full of people who care about music like no other. Following that, we'll take a look at what it might look like if we took music more seriously. Musicians are people too, and they often struggle more than most. They still persevere and provide art for us to enjoy. Music has impacts deeper than we'll ever truly understand, and the people who make it deserve to thrive.
