Thanks for inquiring about our event that will be held at Opryland
Hotel & Resort on
Saturday, January, 1, 2011. What better way to kick off the new year than
showcasing your
songs and artistry in Music City, USA.
Here are additional details for you. The email is long, but
comprehensive. LOL Please read
all the details very carefully.
The conference is free to attend! Wow, what a deal! This is Embassy
Music's Christmas present to you...a $200 value for free!!
We are simply asking that attendees 'pay it forward' by bringing a food
donation & a copy of your CD (or lyric)
to give to the homeless and needy here in Nashville.
The conference will last all day on Saturday. However there are optional
one-on-one
artist A&R and songwriter consultations that are available to you the
day before (Friday)
and the day after (Sunday) as not to interfere with Saturday's activities.
Questions? Call our help line

The conference will offer:
Educational classes- Topics include songwriting, publishing, performance
techniques,
recording a project, getting your music on radio, and many more.
Do
you think classes are boring? Think again. At the Embassy Music Seminars
you will
hear
from industry professionals. Who on a day-to-day basis work with artists,
songwriters,
plan
out tours, produce cds, develop artists, manage careers, design and
implement publicity
campaigns,
among many other things.
Networking- Here's your chance to meet people who work in the Christian
Music
Industry. Producers, publishers, booking agents, radio promoters,
songwriters
& more.
Here
is your opportunity to meet potential co-writers, artists, managers,
booking agents, producers,
A&R reps, radio promoters and more!
Artist & Songwriter Auditions- Here is you opportunity to showcase
your music in Nashville and
win a recording session with a 2-time Dove Award winning producer!!
The Embassy music
stage has helped artists and songwriters obtain publishing deals, record
deals, major tours,
and both Grammy and Dove nominations. The live auditions are fun! Not only
do you perform,
you also hear other performers as well. Unlike some TV talent shows, we
don't discourage you,
but rather we encourage you! You get to sing in a very warm, friendly,
environment.
With your free registration you can have one audition, either artist or
song. If you are both
an artist and songwriter, we highly recommend you enter both categories.
Although one audition
is free, there is a small fee of $50 for the 2nd audition.
Lastly audition slots are limited and are offered on a first come, first
served basis. FYI This particular event,
unfortunately
is not set up for a "live band" however, feel free to send your
"front man" to take part in the
conference. Audition contestants will have
access to a keyboard, may bring a guitar or
sing to a provided backing
track.
We are excited that Opryland Resort (which just re-opened after a 200
million dollar post flood renovation) is hosting this event!
And yes, it will still be illuminated with millions of Christmas lights
and decorations.
Although a room at Opryland can cost $300 or $400 per night, we
have a special Embassy Music
rate
starting at $99* per night. To our knowledge this is the lowest rate
they offer. This special offer is not
available on
Opryland's website, you must call to get this rate. There are a limited number of rooms at the
discounted
rate and cannot be guaranteed if the reservation is made after Friday,
December 10. Therefore, we
strongly
encourage you to make your reservation by December 10th!!

A&R Artist & Songwriter Consultation Overview (Available only on
Friday or Sunday only).
Some attendees have said that the A&R Artist & Songwriter
Consultations were the highlight of the conference!
Do you need direction with your career? If so, here's your opportunity to
have one-on-one time
with a music industry professional. The sessions last a half hour
and are done in a non-musical
setting that would be very similar to having a meeting with an A&R
label rep or a manager. You'll
have the opportunity to sing, play an instrument, play your demo or
perform your original songs.
You'll then get feedback on any promotional material you have, your
performance, etc.
You'll be able to ask questions, get direction with your career and see
how you are perceived
through the lens of the music industry. You can receive counsel on what
your next step should
be in pursuing your artistry. We can give you direction with
booking, marketing, publicity, touring,
recording, management, radio, publishing, songwriting and so on.
If your focus is more on songwriting, you can have your lyrics and
melodies critiqued as well. You
can also receive feedback on your demos and receive advice on how to
proceed in developing
relationships with co-writers, artists and publishers.
The consultation is designed to help "frame" you as an artist or
songwriter. It's also designed to
help identify your strengths and your weaknesses.
Unfortunately, there's not always an easy road map to becoming a
successful artist or songwriter.
The Embassy Music Artist & Songwriter Consultations are designed to
make that path easier for you!
The length of the consultation is 30 minutes. The fee is $75. To
schedule your consultation with an
A&R rep please email Sari at <info@embassymusic.com>
Let us know if you have any additional questions. We are excited about the
possibility of you joining us
in Nashville!
Blessings,
Steven
Embassy Music
