If there are any songwriting or music business majors still looking for an internship, and you enjoy spending time on social media, I could use your help. The internship would also involve helping log and screen applications for a Play for Publisher's workshop and facilitating at the event. Some of the work can be remote. Message me if you are interested.

So excited to tell you guys what we’ve been working on: introducing Meet Music Row! Help us raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee while advancing your career!

THIS JUST IN!
January's edition of How To Be A Hero For Independent Music: TOMORROW with the one and only Barbara Cloyd,
songwriter, song craft teacher, genius of Play for Publishers, and host of the Bluebird Cafe open mic...
NOTE: We're starting at 12:20 PST!!!!!
If you’ve ever gotten within 500 miles of Nashville (poetically or otherwise) you’ll know someone who’s been touched by Barbara’s craft. It might even be you. An avowed lover of songwriters and songs, she’s been teaching people the song ropes for 36 years, and playing them, herself. The host of the Open Mic at the infamous Bluebird Cafe, as well as the lead instructor at full-up Barbara Cloyd's Play For Publishers workshops, she’s got a lot to say about human-scale music.
Come join us as we chew on it all, together, with you.
A FULL hour ahead of us Monday for this chapter of #howtobeaheroforindependent music. Take this opportunity to talk with Barbara and me.

One Monday a month at noon (this month at 12:20!!) I host How To Be A Hero for Independent Music, an ongoing conversation about just that: keeping human-scale music living and thriving. It's all based on the viral essay of the same name, up there on my blog, No Word Wasted (link in bio). The point is to leverage and convect our knowledge for the good of all the music spreading and growing. Sometimes it’s me running my mouth on topics such as house concerts or DIY booking (both on facebook and soon YouTube) and frequently I’ve got a guest whose brains you can pick on any number of wonderful musical topics. Join us!
