This week I will be recording an interview with HeyBrooklyn.com, “a podcast about creative people living and working in Brooklyn, New York brought to you by Amber of TheAmberShow.net”. Amber interviews some really fascinating people from around Brooklyn, including musicians, inventors, small biz owners, floral designers, and even candy makers! Speaking of this wonderful city we call Brooklyn….Amber has asked that I play my song “Please Come to Brooklyn”. If you haven’t already heard this song, take a listen by clicking on the music tab at the top of my site. I’ll be giving you head’s up soon about the airing date of the podcast so you can take a listen to the interview!

Friday morning began set-up of the Exhibit Hall, which included my promo table with my recent EP “She’s Not Waiting”, RLW biz cards, stickers and flyers. There were lots of great tables to look at including individual artists, indie record labels, entertainment and promo companies, cd manufacturers, and instrument/equipment shops.

Gilli Moon, an Australian Singer/Songwriter and Honorary Indiegrrl Member, presented “Secrets to DIY Indie Marketing, Promotion, and Touring Success”, one of the many panels I attended, which was one of the most helpful sessions I attended. I also went to a songwriting workshop, let by Pat and Pete Luboff, called “Super Song Starters”, which addressed how to keep publishers from turning off your demo song within the first few seconds. Always a useful skill to know, to say the least! I even went to a couple of sessions on looking at your career from a holistic point of view. These type of sessions were just as helpful as the business focused panels, if not more.

Check out posts from my previous days at the conference below and stay tuned for more pix and info on the showcases I played.
