Musicians Lunch NYC ~ Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 1-3pm

Musicians Lunch NYC is back, and scheduled for this Saturday, June 27th at 1pm!

Musician’s Lunch is a luncheon event to bring together musicians who are interested in learning about the latest trends in music marketing and ideas for promotion over a meal. The cost is $25 in NYC, and you pay for your own lunch. In addition to the fun we’ll be having, each lunch attendee in NYC will also get a free music marketing strategy guide! If you have your heart set on sitting next next to me, that spot goes to the first musician who offers to buy my lunch!

I love talking about music, I love breaking down marketing strategies, and I love eating out. This project is right up my alley, and I plan to do as many musician lunches as I can fit in this year.

If you’re interested in learning the latest music marketing techniques successful musicians use to build a buzz, grow their audience, and sell more CDs, visit Musicians Lunch!

Musicians Lunch New Orleans Wrap Up

Last weekend’s Musicians Lunch in New Orleans, LA was a blast!!!

For this Musicians Lunch, I had the opportunity to brainstorm with the folks from Artists House for some new marketing solutions for their organization. Afterwards, I was buzzed for the rest of the night. I had a revelation on why I enjoy these lunches so much: I love to inspire and empower people to reach their dreams. There’s nothing like brainstorming ideas for another musician when you see them have that “Light Bulb Moment” when they get a creative fire lit under them. Next to singing and performing, inspiring people is another one of my passions.

While I was in town, I also participated in a live broadcast stream on the Artists House channel with founder John Snyder and their #1 Guy, Andrew Goodrich. They even had me perform a couple of songs, which was pretty cool, I must say. We chatted on air for about an hour and a half, while there was also an interesting chat going on simultaneously with the viewers. Wait til you see the clips!

Musicians Lunch New Orleans ~ Saturday, May 23rd 1-3pm

New Orleans: Let the Good Times Roll

I am so excited about returning to New Orleans, LA (aka NOLA) this weekend to host Musicians Lunch New Orleans on Saturday, May 23rd from 1-3pm. I have NO idea where the group will be eating yet, because there are sooooo many choices. Feel free to leave me some suggestions below in the comments section.

When I was a Studio Jazz and Vocal Major at the University of Miami (UM), I took a jazz history class that changed my life. I loved the class, the teacher, everything, and I found myself fascinated with the city of New Orleans, LA, which is the birthplace of jazz. I made plans to visit New Orleans for that next spring break, and to even perform while I was there. I had never done anything like that before, and I’ll admit now to being terrified and lonely at times, but I made that solo trip. I put together a band, performed in New Orleans, and proved to myself that I could do it. After that spring break, I returned to live there for the summer, and I go back every so often to get an infusion of this town filled with magic, music, and food.

New Orleans is my musical hometown, and every time I return I feel like I come full circle. As much as I love New Orleans, and how often I’ve visited it in the past, this will be my first time visiting since Hurricane Katrina devastated my beloved second home. I’d been afraid to go back, to see the damage, to face the loss…But now’s the time that I’m finally ready to go back, and I’m very happy to be able to give back to a place that has given so much to me.

There’s no place like New Orleans, LA, and if you’re a musician who lives there, let’s hang out and eat!
