On February 2, immediately following the 2010 Grammy Awards, Tom Jackson and other major industry players will be teaching at the New Music Seminar (NMS) in Los Angeles at The Henry Fonda Theater.
Leaders from across the front edges of music, technology and beyond will speak and share ideas during this one day music, networking and educational extravaganza. NMS is the must attend 1-day for the industry (artists, managers, labels, and more) who are seeking to learn and understand how to help artists “rise above the noise floor” in a shifting musical landscape.
Following a keynote speech by Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek, four vital seminars will teach artists a new way to look at the music business, market and manage themselves, and leave competitor’s in the dust.
Tom Jackson will take part in the “Third Movement: The Creative Process and Radical Differentiation and How to Master It.” On the panel with Tom will be Justin Tranter, lead singer of Semi Precious Weapons (currently on tour with Lady Gaga), and Jason Bentley, Program Director of KCRW.
Other featured players (aka panelists) include: über producer, Rodney Jerkins; Kevin Lyman, President/founder Warped Tour; Alexandra Patsavas of Chop Shop Music; and Derek Sivers, Founder of CD Baby.
The event begins with an exclusive NMS “After Grammy Jammy” Opening Night Party at The Roxy on Monday, February 1st. NYC based filthy glamour rockers Semi-Precious Weapons, will be headlining the party on a night off from their special guest spot on the Monster Ball World Tour with Lady Gaga.
The evening’s stellar line-up will also feature the harmonizing indie folk band, Family of the Year, one of Spin Magazines “25 Must-Hear Artists” from the 2009 CMJ Music Festival, and U-N-I, the indie Hip Hip kids voted “Best Break-Out LA Artist” by MTV and featured in Billboard’s “Artists to Watch” among others.
Only NMS delegates will be able to enter the VIP schmoozefest and party. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception where delegates can network and mingle. This will be followed by a private show attended exclusively by NMS delegates, the media and official NMS partners including: NARAS, LA Weekly, Music Connection, Billboard, Digital Music News, Yahoo Music, MySpace Music, Hypebot, Filter Magazine, OurStage, RevebNation, Mozes, A2IM Indie Label Members and a host of new technology companies.
