CREATE MSU’s OWN IT Music Mastermind #6 —August 12, 2014

by  Angela Kerr

Dave Curtis from Dave Does Designs and Vices I Admire took the audience on in an interactive experience with “An Artists view of Branding and Marketing.”  The participants were also provided reference websites for “do it yourself” designing and affordable printing.

Representatives from local businesses such as Colorado Case Company, Aureus Audio and Bonfire Tavern with performing bands which included: Driftin’ Suns, Ando Gro, ATP, Two Girls with Guitars, WryWood, WoolEye, The Chris LaFata Band, Flint Forehead, Jason Vigil, and The Dead End Drivers participated.  We also had an outdoor performance from The Dead End Drivers, which highlighted a truly talented team of individuals.

On August 12, 2014, we will feature “Put Your Mastermind Experience to Use” which will allow all participants to put what they have learned to date to good use in a discussion about creating an Own It Music Mastermind Showcase.  We wish to highlight performers participating in the Mastermind since its inception.  We will meet at IPie from 7pm. – 9pm. to talk about all the facets of a showcase including (1) Who would participate? (2) What kind of Event with Planning/ accountabilities, (3) Where – Venue Choice and coordination, (4) Marketing and Social Media, (5) Feasibility? (6) When – Projected/desired outcomes and (7) Potential Sponsorships.

Coming up on September 9, 2014 Katey Laurel from One Way Music Services, LLC will team up with Michael St. Jamesand will educate us on “Understanding Licensing and Publishing.”  We will also feature an unplugged set by WoolEye from Ft. Collins.
