Alternatives to SXSW
Well folks… SXSW 2020 was canceled. It is very sad because I wasn’t the only one looking forward to going and learning all of this new stuff in the music industry! But while that is in the past, I look to the future to see what other music industry events may be ahead. One that I found is the Music Tourism Convention. It is in Mississippi from September 29-October 2. One reason I would love to go is because the Grammy Museum is down there and I would love to see what all is inside. They will be holding a reception there as well, so the more to be excited about! This event is a lot like SXSW but smaller in numbers and they do a lot of tours around town.
The second event coming up would be the ASCAP Experience from April 1-3. The biggest thing that caught my eye was that it brings in a community of songwriters into one place so that everyone can learn and get better at creating songs. I personally love creating music in my free time and want to get better everyday. What a better way to get better at writing songs than to be surrounded by professional songwriters?! But sadly, due to COVID-19, it has been canceled this year. But in this time of being stuck at home, I am going to use this opportunity to learn all that I could have from going to these conferences. So look out on my website for new music to go up on iTunes, Spotify, etc. If you have any questions or would like to Collab with me, press to “Contact” button at the top right of the website and you can email me there!
