This week marks the 10th annual Americana Music Conference and Awards show in Nashville, TN. At the same time, it also marks my 4th trip out to this great conference. The four day conference is coupled with panels geared towards the industry and artists along with nightly showcases for anyone who digs music. I will try to cover as much as I can of the event on Twitter.com/AmericanaRoots this year, so feel free to follow me for the latest. If you are out at the conference this year, do drop by a panel I’m hosting called “Leveraging The Internet” which includes dynamic people from ReverbNation.com, ArtistData.com, Reviewshine.com and MyEmma.com. This should be a very fun and interesting discussion on how artists can effectively build their brand online.
