Norman Music Festival Wants Joaquin Phoenix
The organizers of Norman Music Festival are offering Joaquin Phoenix his first professional hip-hop gig. Do it Joaquin!
From NormanMusicFestival.com:
As many of you may have been following in the Entertainment World, Joaquin Phoenix announced a few months ago that he was leaving acting to pursue a new career in music. Since then, Joaquin’s had a few impromptu appearances to negative reviews, and a few interviews that were met with bad press. Well, the Norman Music Festival does not like this one bit!
With that in mind, NMF would like to offer one of this generation’s greatest talents his first professional gig. We are using this web release to extend an open offer to Joaquin for an April 25th performance on the Main Stage at the second annual Norman Music Festival. It’s our small effort to provide a platform for Joaquin’s new career, and we hope it somehow helps.
Joaquin, hear our our video plea!
NMF fans, help us out!

The second-year festival will take place on Saturday, April 25 and will feature around 50 artists on six stages in historic downtown Norman. More than 15,000 people attended the event last year and this year promises to be bigger and better. NMF is for all ages and FREE!

I would love it if Joaquin showed up for this, but I’m having a hard time seeing it happening. From everything I’ve heard, it sounds like he still has a ton of work to do before he knows what he’s doing with his music and isn’t in any hurry to play gigs.
“I have ten songs now and three of them I think are really good and the others I think are pretty crap but I’ll work on them and I don’t know. I don’t really feel this pressure to get it out and I think that also things are different now, like you don’t have to necessarily release a record. You have a website, you sell, you do a couple singles, you do an EP, then let it grow. So I’m not really sure.”

Here’s to hoping he breaks some ground before April, though.

I am hoping to sweeten the deal by offering Mr. Phoenix and his 1 person entourage each a BBQ sandwich from Mr. Sprigg’s BBQ if he chooses to play the event.
