Self-Employment Swing
August 8, 2010
 This past week saw the announcement of the first two artists contributing music to the Workaholics Anonymous soundtrack. First up is Colorado's folk singer/songwriter who brings unique sound and a great sense of humor.
According to his official bio, "Joe Uveges has meandered the path of quiet musical anonymity on Colorado's front range for more than 18 years now. Raised a farm kid in Schoharie New York, pummeled by liberal academics at Union College and Catholic University, a grizzled veteran of bar bands and coffeehouses, he should be a burned out skeleton of a man playing Allman Brother covers, tipping lukewarm Coors from a can, and lamenting broken marriages and illegitimate kids. He is not.
 "Instead, 16 years into a delightful marriage and parenting all of his children (with varying degrees of success) he has been touring the country promoting his last 6 CDs." Uveges has enjoyed a large following throughout his career, as well as two "Best of" album awards in the Southern Colorado area.
His song "Self-Employment Swing," from the 2008 album "Just for Grins," provides the woefully-quirky foundation for Workaholics Anonymous. The catchy folk anthem maintains an unwavering sense of humor right up to the final chord, but beneath its bubbly surface is the constant unease of a real-life workaholic. Not only will the song be featured in the film, but it has been confirmed for the soundtrack album.
