wide-open open mics

With dozens of main stage and in-room showcases, there is almost always a place to strut your stuff but one of the most popular hang outs is the poolside open mic hosted by Claude "Butch" Morgan. The pool party is a great opportunity to catch some great tunes and cop a tan at the same time.  Sign up in the lobby - slots are first come, first serve.

news from swrfa…

   The 10th Annual Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference will be in Austin Texas at the Radisson Austin North on Sept 23 – 27, 2009.

   The seminar topics address many facets of the music business - booking and tour planning, agents and managers, music law, the internet, getting airplay, studio know how, song sharing and discussion, wellness while on the road and looking for alternate ways to get our music to the world – such as in schools and films.

   Artists, managers, agents, venue operators as well as folks who come to listen enthusiastically find a common bond, make new friends, discover new music, have fun and learn. So come on down and enjoy some Southwestern hospitality in the Capitol City. See you soon!
