It's a sad fact these days that the "music business" is much more about business than music, and your business savvy could potentially get you farther than your best song.
Keep yourself and your band from getting screwed over by learning some of the basics of the business of music.
Raleigh-based music management firm Murphy to Manteo will host a crash course entitled "On the Record — Breaking Your Band" at the Berkeley Cafe on Sunday, Jan. 28 from 2-4 p.m.
The directors of MTM, who have in the past managed acts such as Hootie and the Blowfish and Cowboy Mouth, will provide and overview of how record labels work, what booking agents look for in a young band, the importance of publishing and the roles of attorneys, producers and managers.
Bands are encouraged to bring their CD, publicity photo and press kit to the seminar. One act will be randomly chosen for a free mini-consultation and critique at the end of the event.
Tickets for the seminar are $12 in advance or $15 at the door and can be purchased at Berkeley Cafe, Schoolkids Records in Chapel Hill and Raleigh or by visiting www.mtmfirm.com or by calling their office at 859-5333. The Berkeley Cafe is located at 217 West Martin Street in Raleigh.
