Cari Palazzolo

First entry! - So what is this project?
It's an ongoing series of profiles on indie music artists. There's so much great music out there, and I want to know who it comes from and why. Apparently, when you have a camera and a blog, you can ask things that normally would just make you a big 'ole nerd. I think I'm going to like this...


I wanted to start this project out right, but this is so much better than I could have imagined! A few weeks ago in Austin, I got the chance to talk to Cari Palazzolo, the ultimate driving force behind Belaire, Fancy Feast, and Cari Music, amongst a bevy of other projects. She's one of the most talented and unique young musicians out there right now, and possibly the coolest lady I've ever met.

And so I present the very first installment (if you're using Safari you may want to switch browsers):
