Want to school yourself before the meetup?
Vortex, J-Fell Presents and MOGO Music Festival have organized several past music marketing meetups and here are some tips from those panels on:
▶ How to turn your concert into an experience
▶ How to sell out your next show
▶ Why you should not go dark on social media between shows
▶ How to book gigs
▶ Record labels 101
▶ How to get press: Listen below to get more advice on dealing with the media and publicists
Have questions for our panel that you'd like answered? Featuring singer-songwriter Ritchie Young of Loch Lomond, senior music supervisor Kat Olsen of Marmoset, and entertainment lawyer Peter Vaughan Shaver of Sound Advice, feel free to leave our panelists questions in the comments below or on our Facebook event page.
Plus, Ritchie Young (whose music you can hear leading off the Red Bull clip below, a vid that's racked up almost 40 million views) and Kat Olsen will also join The Future of What for a round-table discussion in advance of the panel, which you can hear on XRAY.fm on Friday, April 21 at 1pm at 107.1 FM and 91.1 FM—or subscribe on iTunes.
See you on Sunday, April 30 at the Doug Fir!
