Who We Be
First and foremost, The Fine Line supports, promotes and celebrates local and regional (Texas baby) music, art, photography and culture.
Cindy Chaffin solely founded and launched TexasGigs.com in October of 2002. TexasGigs.com was a local/regional Texas-based music blog and provided a comprehensive concert calender, band links, venue links, music news, live webcasts, audio Podcasts and more.
In November of 2005, TexasGigs.com merged with Pegasus News, which eventually led to dissolution of the partnership and the sale of the TexasGigs.com’s content, URL, domain name and logo to Pegasus News.
On June 10th, 2006, Cindy Chaffin launched The Fine Line.
The Fine Line is dedicated to covering the local and regional music scene, with a dash of the national scene and a dose of the international scene.
The Fine Line also offers lots of online multi-media including live performances, as well as audio/video interviews with local, regional, national and international bands, artists, producers, photographers and more! It’s all about the culture baby!
—just the good stuff.

Hi,
First thing’s first - My name is Julia, and I must say that I enjoy reading your posts, and especially the music that you feature in your posts. I love listening to different music, and I like your tastes.
Like you, I am a huge music fan and like spreading the word about emerging artists. I’m currently working with a recently launched music sharing and discovery site called Haystack. Haystack offers many ways in which to search and filter through music, as well as exclusive interviews and a weekly interview series, providing an in-depth look at musicians being interviewed by each other. The current interview is with The Rinse and The English Department, and in the coming weeks you’ll be able to see Dirty On Purpose, Eugene Mirman, Blonde Redhead, and more.
I was hoping you could take a look at the site and let me know what you think of it. If you could mention Haystack to your readers that would be great, also linking to your side bar or a banner swap is another idea. I think that once they work out some early site kinks they will become a very important site to music lovers like us. I hope to hear from you soon!! Have a great day
-Julia

Hello,
I’m prioducing this back to the 70’s show with Michael Martin Murphey, Rusty Wier, Gary P Nunn and Bill and Bonnie Hearne at the Majestic on August 4. My ticket sales are low and I could use some help with getting the word out. Do you folks do this sort of promoting on your website?
