Songsalive! Songcamp at South Park, Colorado a Success

Hundreds of Indie musicians take over South Park

By CODY R. OLIVAS
summit daily news

 

What: The South Park Music Tour
Who: 100 Indie bands
When: Thursday June 25 - Sunday June 28
Where: Nine staged in Fairplay and Alma
How much: $20 for all four days or $75 for a VIP badge
More info: www.southparkmusictour.com

This weekend, one hundred bands will rock South Park, wailing everything from electric guitars and banjos to turntables, saxophones and bongo drums.

“The idea of taking over a small town with music is exciting; it's a unique experience,” said musician Gilli Moon.

The third annual South Park Music Tour will include Indie bands playing rock and blues, jazz and funk, metal and rock, hip-hop, reggae, emo, country, bluegrass and basically every other genre out there.

“It's about promoting independent music,” said the tour's executive director Saam Golgoon. “It doesn't matter what style they're playing; they're still independent.”

This year an eclectic group of Christian rappers and rockers will also perform at the festival.

“It's going to be awesome; we're so, so excited,” said Tracie Edstrom, who helped organize the Christian groups. “These bands are definitely on the cutting edge of music.”

Nine stages will be set up in Fairplay and Alma for the festival. A free shuttle will travel back and forth, but the main stages will be in Fairplay on Front Street. For the festival, Fairplay's streets between 4th and 6th on Front will be blocked off for people to enjoy stages on both ends, and there will be one in the middle. And, instead of a beer garden tucked in an odd corner, spectators will be able to enjoy their brew in front of those stages.

Some of the more well-known bands performing on those and other stages include Lubriphonic, Mama's Cookin', DJ Logic, Turbine and Salem.

“They're energetic,” Golgoon said about those bands. “(Lubriphonic) gets you moving right away; they're one of those bands.”

The music is organized into showcases that include a Jam in the Sky showcase, Rock in the Park, High in the Sky, Girls Rock, South Park Rocks, and also grace, acoustic, country, songwriter's and American Legion showcases. Each of those consists of three to seven bands playing hour-long sets.

Over 50 arts, crafts and food vendors will be set up for perusing.

The music tour is also a chance for the bands to learn how to promote themselves and study songwriting. Many of the bands choose to perform at South Park because of the music industry conference and Songsalive songwriting camp that run in conjunction with the tour.

“That's how we get a lot of the artists,” Golgoon said. “Ninety percent are coming for free.”

At Songsalive, songwriters are divided into groups with others they may not know and forced to create a song they'll later perform at the festival.

“It really gets them out of their comfort zone,” said Moon, who is Songsalive's president. “The intention is to put them in a situation they've never been in before and work on a collaboration.”

Around 4,000 people have attended the tour in each of its first two years. One of the biggest challenges in the past was when Widespread Panic performed in Colorado the same weekend. This year the tour won't have to compete with the jam band.

In the past, the music fest was free. This year, however, it will cost $20 to see all the bands or $75 for a VIP badge that will get people into a VIP kick-off party, some free food, drinks and other perks. Tickets for individual days are not available. The Grace Showcase stage near Fairplay's library, sponsored by the Faith Freedom Fellowship and the Grace Church of South Park, will, however, provide free tunes in the designated family area.

The music tour began Thursday evening and will rock on through Sunday evening. Parking is free.

“The talent's been amazing,” Moon said.

“I hope to see everyone out there,” Golgoon said. “It's supposed to be beautiful.”

Independent Music Conference needs a new laptop!

Independent Music Conference needs a new laptop!

Independent Music Conference needs a new laptop!

If you can't attend IMC09 as an instructor, perhaps you will consider helping us with a pledge?

The IMC is a grass roots educational event designed to assist independent musicians with the extremely daunting tasks of turning their art into an entrepreneurship. Now in our seventh year and tenth event, we've presented very successful IMC events in Philadelphia, Dallas, Charleston, Los Angeles and Northampton.

Earlier this year we became the victim of a robbery in which we lost over $5000.00 worth of important equipment. Most devastating was the loss of our Apple Powerbook Pro, an essential part of the IMC event. The laptop served as our point of purchase sales kiosk, graphics station and database during each IMC, it's unbelievably necessary.

We'd like to raise at least $2000 towards the purchase of a new Powerbook, which we need for IMC09 coming up in August. Your help is MUCH appreciated!!!

As thanks for contributing $20 or more, I will send you a cool long sleeve IMC T-shirt. They are black and feature the IMC logo in full color.

As thanks for contributing $50 or more, I will send you a cool long sleeve IMC T-shirt and also issue you one full registration to the upcoming IMC in Northampton MA, August 27-31.

As thanks for contributing $100 or more, I will send you a cool long sleeve IMC T-shirt and also issue you one full registration to the upcoming IMC in Northampton MA, August 27-31. I will also call you personally to thank you and offer you additional value, such as a Vendor Table at the IMC, ads in our magazine or on our web sites, etc. Our conversation and the amount you have pledged will help determine your gift.

Thank you so much for all your support!

www.IMC09.com

--- What is Fundable?

Fundable.com lets groups of people pool money to make purchases or raise funds. Similar to online auctions, Fundable's collection pages are created by people who use the web site. Each page contains a description of how much money needs to be collected and what it will do. Once enough pledges for a collection have been secured, Fundable turns them into real payments and sends the total to the collection's organizer.

If a collection expires before reaching its total in pledges, Fundable deletes all pledges and never charges money.

New Article on the Songsalive! website – “Songs into Film & Television”

Want To Get Your Songs Into Film & Television?

Here are helpful tips from a group of music supervisors. Independent songwriters can generate a significant stream of income from a song used in a film or television project if they understand how the business works and who to deal with. While there are several avenues one could choose to help guide a song's path into a visual medium (i.e. knowing the director, producer, music editor, etc.), one major source for getting songs placed in film or television is through a music supervisor.

New Songshop leads today:

LEAD 1: Independent Film to be taken on the festival circuit needs music. Genre includes Organic type live instrumental music. Think comedy along the lines of 'Along Came Polly, etc'. There is no budget at the moment, so producers are requesting gratis licensing. Musicians and writers will be given a copy of the movie, along with credits.
