Seeking NYC Musician Interns with Music on iTunes!

Since posting my ad for technical interns, I’m also happy to announce that I also have unpaid internships available for musicians who have music available on iTunes.

In exchange for playing the occasional gig or open mic with us, we’ll help you sell your tunes, so this internship will have a direct benefit for YOU!

I’m currently working on a book and online course to teach musicians how to actually make money with their music via iTunes, Amazon, etc, and I need musicians to work these strategies as a supportive and collaborative MASTERMIND GROUP.

Musician Interns Needed for Pop/Rock/Soul Band:

Guitarist – Electric and acoustic
Pianist/Keyboardist
Bassist – Electric and/or upright bass
Drummer and/or Percussionist

Other instrumentalists are encouraged to apply if they or their band currently has music available online via Digital Distribution (iTunes, Rhapsody, iLike, Amazon, etc)

We often host and/or attend music biz networking events, so interns may also be asked to attend to help out with the door, or sell merch. You’re also welcome to network and meet others in the industry while you’re there.

To apply for any of these positions, please send an email with “Musician Intern” in the subject line to moxiemaven64{at}gmail[com] with links to your blog/website, MySpace page, or anywhere we can hear your music online. Please DO NOT SEND MUSIC ATTACHMENTS.

We’re a fun, energetic, hard-working, and, not to forget, Equal Opportunity Employer. We look forward to working with you!

Record Store Day Tour of Uncle Sam’s South Beach

Founded in 1997, Record Store Day is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April. Visit the official website at http://www.recordstoreday.com/

One of my favorite independent music stores ever is Uncle Sam’s South Beach, which is located in the heart of South Miami Beach, Florida at the corner of Washington Avenue and 12th Street. My friends George and Lisa Teger-Zhen have owned the store for many years now. Back in the 80’s, I sang in George’s New Wave band, Some People’s Children, and Lisa managed the Fort Lauderdale, FL location. It was a great place to visit and listen to music then, and still is now. Check out the video I made last year:
