Announcing StinkFest 2009: The Family Music Conference

If you're in the family music world -- whether as a performer, talent buyer, booking agent, radio person, publicist, retailer, producer, or in any other industry capacity -- you should attend StinkFest.

StinkFest is the world's first-ever family music conference that fully embraces today's market in all its diversity. I'm putting it together with Tor Hyams and Stephanie Mayers, and it will take place on May 2 in Brooklyn, with panels, networking, and a great showcase, with nine performers, including Ralph's World headlining. Check out the invitation (PDF) for details of panelists, etc.

Note that these events are industry-focused (i.e., this isn't a public concert) and that space is quite limited. You have to register in advance, and I'd do so soon.

Also, bands: We have one slot that we have left open in the showcase to be awarded by way of SonicBids (our sponsor). Check out our SonicBids site for details.

The rest of this week is all about the Meltdown, and I'll be talking about that more soon, of course. But I wanted to get this out there too.
