Indie Buzz Bootcamp: Ready to Transform Your Musical Life?
Mark your calendar for June 20-22 in St. Louis, Missouri. That's when I'll present Indie Buzz Bootcamp, a life-changing, one-of-a-kind weekend event with Derek Sivers (of CD Baby), music publicist Ariel Hyatt, and a few other visionary, hand-picked speakers who will inspire you.
Why am I doing my own event when there are already so many others? Good question. Let me explain ...
I've attended a lot of music conferences over the years. Some great, some good, but most not so good. The educational part of most conferences consists of "panels" of music biz people thrown together haphazardly. They're often a rambling side show to live music showcases; not the main event itself.
And many of these panels are attended by musicians who simply want to get their demo into the hands of some industry bigshot who will save them. (Have you ever witnessed the Hail Mary pass into the overflowing demo box?) They're not there to learn and grow, to absorb and transform their lives, to build a bigger and better music career.
I thought there was a better way. So I decided to present my own event in St. Louis. One focused on strategies and inspiration and action steps you can put to use right away in the real world ... and keep using for years to come.
Indie Buzz Bootcamp is that event. If you're ready to learn and grow and transform your musical life, I hope you'll join us there.
