Tomorrow's Bands for Today's Fans

An introduction that no true music enthusiast or artist can afford to pass. Thirsty Melon Music Tour had been put 200 artists on 10 stages in front of 35,000 new fans over the course of 2 days at one venue, the great Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. The only music conference that guaranteed fans regardless of artists' hometowns, stage schedules or music industry connections.

Have you ever heard a band on the radio or saw their show and wondered how they got a deal?

The answer is either really bad A&R or really good marketing and promotion. Build your Buzz. Thirsty Melon Music Tour was established with tomorrow's artists in mind and as a result designed as educational curriculum to teach music industry tricks of the trade, "outside the box" promotional concepts, Internet savvy, distribution avenues, basic business habits and merchandising and touring techniques. In addition, artists had the opportunity to network with music industry insiders and develop those relationships that will finalize a business plan that will lead to a successful music career.

A recording deal may be ideal, but without it are you willing to give up your dream?

Record companies no doubt play an instrumental role in developing successful artists, however they cannot scout and support every great artist. Thirsty Melon Music Tour had been introduced artists to economical, practical and "commercially satisfactory" recording solutions as well as the producers and engineers utilizing the new technologies that ultimately will add credibility to the artists' promotional road map to national awareness. The next level is easier to see when you are standing on a sturdy "buzz."
