Upcoming Indie Connect meetings... I'm speaking at one

Some time last year, I decided to network not only online but on a more one-on-one level and get to know some people in my local area who are in the music business or are interested in it. I've met some fascinating people at the meetings. At the last one I met, among others,

• Traci Root, founder of Greener Music and R&B fusion recording artist,

• Rand Bishop, songwriter, producer and author of awesome book on songwriting "Makin Stuff Up"

• Lance Hoppen, founding member of rock band "Orleans"

• Michael Moore, veteran music biz guy and author of "Brilliant" , a new book ( I actually bought it at the meeting- fabulous info) on today's new strategies and tactics for successful music marketing.

The agenda:
The speaker speaks and takes questions, then all present take turns- we stand and state who we are and what we need at the moment, then immediately receive suggestions to help. Vinny Ribas, founder, is just wonderful at putting the meetings together in such a mutually beneficial way. I love it.

I've been asked once again to be the featured speaker on February 9th. For those of you who may be interested and in the area, I thought I would let you know about the upcoming meetings, the speakers and their subjects.
