Some colleagues and I have submitted a panel proposal on “Building a Better Community For Musicians” for South By Southwest 2016. I’m hoping you will take a quick minute to vote for our panel by clicking on the “thumbs up” in the left hand corner at the link below, which includes a description of the panel. You may have to sign up by providing an e-mail address in order to vote (to prevent ballot stuffing), but it takes only seconds to do so. Thanks in advance, and I hope you’re doing great!

COMBO AND THE DMA PRESENT NOAH PETERSON’S WORKSHOP ON BOOKING PAYING TOURS
Rather than split the attendance, the Denver Musicians Association and the Colorado Music Business Organization have decided to work together on a few workshops and clinics. Dick Weissman, a member of both groups, has set up a clinic for Monday, September 21st from 7:00 until 9:00 p.m. at the DMA Hall at 1165 Delaware, Denver. The guest speaker is Noah Peterson on “How to Book Your Own Tour.” Noah is originally from Montana. He played saxophone in the Marine Corps Band. Dick met him in Portland where they both served 3 terms on the union board there. During that time, he put together a solo saxophone show, with looping. He has booked himself, literally, from Portland to Florida. No agent(s). He also presents looping festivals, with himself and other artists. He’ll be doing one at The Mercury Cafe in Denver, and one in the Springs. He now lives in San Antonio. He also plays washboard in a Zydeco band, and in various jazz and jazz-rock combos.
Noah owns his own record company, and has a bunch of things on You Tube. He has really done well with the BMI Live thing, and he’ll talk about that as well.
