ASCAP's
Pop/Rock Membership Department kicked off the
summer with a series of events in the Southeast
leading up to some of the region's biggest music
festivals. Showcases and cocktail parties
were held to coincide with the City
Stages Music Festival in Birmingham,
AL; Athfest,
the annual music and arts festival, held in Athens,
GA, and the Atlantis
Music Conference in Atlanta,
GA.
The events, which took place at Vinyl in Atlanta,
GA on June 10, Workplay in Birmingham, AL on June
17, Tasty World in Athens, GA on June 18, and
at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta, GA on July 22,
were designed to provide
ASCAP members with networking opportunities and
to bring the talents of emerging songwriter/artists
to the attention of both the music industry and
the public. The showcases featured some
of the hottest bands from the Southeast
region including
All Tomorrow's Parties, Clay
Cook, Laws
Rushing, Red
Letter Agent, Trances
Arc, and The
Whigs.
ASCAP has been a long-time
supporter of music from the Southeast region and
regularly holds educational panels, workshops
and showcases to provide support and exposure
for its members. Most recently, the Performing
Rights Society held its first-ever Atlanta
Membership Meeting where ASCAP President
& Chairman Marilyn Bergman hailed Atlanta
as the "fastest-growing music city in U.S."
