News from SWRFA…

The 9^th Annual Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference will be in Austin Texas at the Radisson Austin North on October 2 – 5, 2008.

The seminar topics address many facets of the music business - booking and tour planning, agents and managers, music law, the internet, getting airplay, studio know how, song sharing and discussion, wellness while on the road and looking for alternate ways to get our music to the world – such as in schools and films.

Artists, managers, agents, venue operators as well as folks who come to listen enthusiastically find a common bond, make new friends, discover new music, have fun and learn. So come on down and enjoy some Southwestern hospitality in the Capitol City.

See you soon!
