Free Aug 20 Teleclass: How to Build an Indie Music Career
On Monday, August 20, join me and my guest, Christine Kane, as we deliver a teleclass called "The Empowered Artist: How to Build a Music Career On Your Own Terms."

Christine is the living epitome of a full-time empowered artist. She is a singer-songwriter, performer, teacher and writer. Her career in music and the arts has been dynamic and multi-faceted. The Washington Post called her "a petite powerhouse of a singer."
She regularly headlines at major events such as the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, Kate Wolf Festival, and Chattanooga's Riverbend Festival. Her songs have been recorded by country diva Kathy Mattea and Nashville Star finalist Casey Simpson.
During the Aug 20 conference call, Christine will share her experiences of becoming a songwriter and performer, and of starting her own business to manage her growing career. We'll discuss ...

There's no cost to access the call. Only your regular long distance charges will apply. The number of participants is limited, so call in near the top of the hour to make sure you get in.
