New Music Seminar Presents Artist On The Verge
posted in: OurStage Updates
After successful seminars from LA to Chicago, New Music Seminar (NMS) has returned to its roots in NYC, running a 2-day, 3-night seminar July 19th-21st. This event is where artists learn the tricks of the trade on how to rise above the noise floor in the fast-paced and ever-changing music business while networking with other artists, managers, agents and labels.
NMS featured players (speakers) for the upcoming New York City conference will include Eric Garland (Big Champagne), Joe Kennedy (Pandora), Mike Doernberg (ReverbNation), Courtney Holt (MySpace Music), Little Steven (Underground Garage DJ and the E Street Band member), Jay Frank (CMT), Gwen Lipsky (Sound Thinking), Tom Jackson (onstagesuccess.com), Martin Atkins (Tour:Smart), John Simson (SoundExchange), Corrie Christopher (APA), Chris Vinson (Bandzoogle), and Tony Van Veen (Disc Makers). Look for more speakers to be announced shortly. Comedian Margaret Cho will conduct The Artist Movement, featuring superstar artists discussing how they got their break and tips on how to apply what worked for them.
Founders Dave Lory and Tom Silverman are once again on the search to find some of the best up-and-coming artists to give them a jump-start to their career. The New Music Seminar and OurStage are teaming up to offer emerging artists the opportunity of a lifetime! The Artist on the Verge project is a closed competition for nominated artists who have privately been notified. These nominations are from some of the biggest names in the industry such as OurStage, MySpace, Facebook, ReverbNation and Tommy Boy Records. Artist on the Verge is designed to expose these talented artists to some of the top media, tech and music industry executives. Three lucky Rock, Pop, Urban, Singer/Songwriter or Specialty artists will be selected from the NMS Artist on the Verge entries to showcase at the New Music Seminar and be critiqued by a panel of industry executives on July 20, 2010 in NYC. The grand prize winner, from the artists showcased, will walk away with over $40,000 in consultations, promotion, marketing and music equipment!
