JPFolks Meeting: FAN-BUILDING GIGS
8/6 Saturday 2-5pm
Good Shepherd Church and Community Center
1520 Pearl Street.
Santa Monica, CA 90405

*I'll give a short presentation on gigging specifically in the new thought/self-help market (the performance fees & CD sales make up a signficant part of my own earnings as a singer/songwriter). I welcome any other JPF members that have insight on this topic to jump in as well. With this info, you can see if this is a market that is fitting for you & your music.

*Please bring info on great GIGS that have gotten you in front of new listeners & potential fans ready to buy CDs to share with each other at the meeting

*We'll discuss Noon-time Gigs idea which was first presented by mentor Harold Payne (www.haroldpayne.com) & now being headed by member Debbie Hennessey (www.debbiehennessey.com) ~ offering 3-4 JPFolks performing artists to businesses & any other venue/location where people gather during the weekdays for lunch

*We'll brianstorm new ideas & practical steps we can take collectively/individually to play more gigs of this nature

*We'll choose our next Spotlight Winner ~ all who attend will be eligible for the drawing (read more on our Spotlight Program here: http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/Forum12/HTML/000353.html

*If we have time, end with some song sharing...so bring your guitar & there's a piano available at the venue
