I, Samantha Anne Carrillo, am a devotee of zen and the (lost) art of diagramming sentences. I have called the American Southwest home for two decades now. Prior to a recent layoff, I worked as a copy editor-slash-social media manager for an area newspaper.

Deep background: As a thirtysomething, I served as managing editor of two local alternative newspapers, Weekly Alibi and ABQ Free Press. I have nearly 20 years experience working as a professional journalist and editor.
My OCD and an aptitude for IDing  patterns aid me in my work. 
 
Get in touch to benefit from my media  expertise, gleaned over a decade of executive editorial experience at  major daily and weekly newspapers in the American Southwest. For  references, rates or project quotes, email samannecarrillo@gmail.com or visit samannecarrillo.blogspot.com.

The Porter Draw is an Alt-Country, Americana band from Albuquerque, NM. They have been key contributors to a flourishing New Mexico roots music movement since 2007 and have shared the stage with such greats as Greensky Bluegrass, Reverend Horton Heat, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Cadillac Sky. Fitting in at country honky-tonks and rock n’ roll clubs alike, The Porter Draw have built a reputation for high energy, sweat-drenched shows coupled with tight harmonies of wistfully delicate lyrics of longing, heartbreak, and the American experience. They'll sing high lonesome with the bluegrass boys, command the stage like The Boss, and surprise you with raucous vocals you haven't heard since your older sister made you listen to The Clash.

Third-wave feminist situationist in high desert. Managing editor and music editor of alternative New Mexican newspaper Weekly Alibi and co-curator at Nuevo Mexicano-centric arts and culture website Things in Light. 

Pyragraph is the online career & lifestyle magazine for artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, writers and other creatives. We feature first-person, entertaining stories with a practical edge, written by working creatives who share what they've learned — including the good, bad, and ugly — about their craft, clients, money, intellectual property, inspiration and more.

Check us out if you are a fan of progressive rock, hard rock, alternative, jam tracks, etc. We also like to go metal... it is kind of hard to classify what you will experience on this page so you might just need to check it out for yourself! Repost, Share, Love, Hate, whatever.
