Go Girls Music Invasion and Promoting Irish & Celtic Music

I just got done going to the Invasion of the Go Girls Music at SXSW to see my Onya play. I met Onya last year and once again, she reminded me why I loved her music then as much as now. She's a brilliant performer and she kicked off the show with a bang.

I also got to meet Madalyn, the indie music coach who runs the GoGirlsMusic.com website. I've seen her online for a while. So it was really funny when I walked in the door and saw this Very recognizable face. She's definitely branded her image well.

Watching the showcase got me thinking. I wonder if I could put together a Celtic music showcase for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast? Could I pull together 10-20 artists into one venue, two songs each, and turn it into a huge promo for the podcast as well as for indie Celtic artists. That's one of the things I love about showcases. It's an awesome opportunity to help artists get their names out, and to sell CDs too. So many great artists in one place.

The other cool thing about the showcase was the music business seminar that was put on by Go Girls Music. It was on obtaining sponsorships. I was thinking about talking about it in my Pub Songs Podcast, once I publish the one from Two Weeks ago.

But first thing's first. Time to record the next Celtic podcast so I don't have to do that on my birthday!
