is an Austin-based project that is focused on bringing bands and fans together. By exploring, sharing and creating content around the live music experience, vivogig will help you discover your next, and get to to better know your current, favorite bands.
As the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World,” Austin sits at the cross-roads of technology and music. And it is from this fertile ground, teeming with developers, designers and musicians that vivogig grew from. Through blogs, podcasts, social media content, photo-sharing and other yet-to-be announced tech tools, we plan to amplify the live music experience so that fans, bands and venues can benefit from mutual creation.
Featured artist:
///Jackson Potts: age 11/////
P
resents his first solo photography exhibit, “Rock and Roll Portraits.” The collection will feature photographs of bands from a variety of genres, including country, electronic alt-pop, and soul. The show will be partnering with Living Water International, who will be embarking on a new project with Jackson next year. Jackson will travel to Africa and photograph his experiences there, then compile a coffee table book which will raise money for Living Water International. A percentage of the proceeds from this show will go towards Jacksonʼs trip to Africa.
//Living Water International Mission//
It all began in 1990, when a group from Houston, Texas traveled to Kenya and saw the desperate need for clean drinking water. They returned to Houston and founded a 501(c)3 non-profit. The fledgling organization equipped and trained a team of Kenyan drillers, and LWI Kenya began operations the next year under the direction of a national board. That pattern continues today; we train, consult, and equip local people to implement solutions in their own countries. Remembering the life-changing nature of that first trip in 1990, we also lead hundreds of volunteers on mission trips each year, working with local communities, under the leadership of nationals, to implement water projects. It's hard to know which lives are changed more—those "serving" or those "being served." Our training programs in shallow well drilling, pump repair, and hygiene education have equipped thousands of volunteers and professionals in the basics of integrated water solutions since 1997.
