The organisers of the upcoming Kyneton Music Festival are excited to announce that they will be presenting a professional development workshop as part of the festival.
Facilitated by Matthew Rogers (The Staple Group), the workshop is aimed at young artists and those wishing to pursue a career in the music industry.
Rogers' ability to combine his passion for representing the incredible talent of artists with his sharp and progressive approach to the music industry has led him to work at companies such as Media Arts Lawyers and The Mushroom Group.
The workshops will be an opportunity for local artists to network and seek advice from more experienced artists, and for industry professionals to offer structured and comprehensive advice on how to advance your career in the music industry. Workshops will be free of charge to anyone who wishes to attend.
Part 1: Case Study - Stonefield
Part one will cover the development of Australian rock band, Stonefield. The four Findlay sisters from Darraweit Guim won the 2010 Triple J Unearthed High contest, and the band has received strong radio support.
Touring both nationally and internationally, Stonefield went on to record two successful EPs, the most recent Bad Reality in 2012.
Topics to be discussed with the sisters and their manager include the songwriting process, the people they have worked with over the years, the experiences they have garnered and how those experiences have shaped their progress. Would they change anything? Check in and check it out.
Part 2: There are people out there to help your career…
The musician looking to move out from the garage but doesn't know where to start will love Part Two. This panel is filled with those in the know; from the heads of the Australian Independent Record Label Association, Pledge Music, The Staple Group and Teamtrick Management, to working musicians. The information covered will be geared to those looking to kick-start their career and will also include advice on touring, getting your music heard and approaching the right people to advance your career.
Friday, March 1, Kyneton Town Hall, 4pm - 6pm. FREE
