I’ve been busy with a collection of technology and music issues during the day, and haven’t really gotten a good chance to write a long blog post. So, I’m doing a simple Follow Friday blog post talking about some musicians on Twitter.

Recently, I entered an agreement with Sonicbids to review emerging artists that submit their electronic press kits for me to review. Typically, there is a page with a brief biography, and perhaps a few links, a page with half a dozen songs, and a few other related pages. Often people include links to other pages they have online. MySpace and ReverbNation tend to top the list. Every once in a while, I find a link to Twitter or Facebook.

The first person to submit their music to me was Katie Garibaldi. Since she submitted her music, I’ve received about two dozen other submissions, so I’m still going through them and trying to decide who I’ll highlight on Monday. However, besides being first, Katie also has links to her twitter account, @katiegaribaldi and her Facebook Fan Page. I’ve followed her in both places and encourage others to do the same.

Her bio also mentions that she “volunteers as the San Francisco chapter coordinator of the non-profit organization that supports artists and songwriters, Songsalive”. (@songsalive)

With this as a starting point, I thought I would highlight a few other musicians whom I like that are on Twitter. They are all musicians that I heard at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. They include @viennateng, @aidenjamestour and @iHobo. I’ve added all of these into my music list on Twitter.

Check out these fine musicians, and if you follow other good musicians I should follow on Twitter, let me know.
