Fair Trade Music Update

Greetings from Fair Trade Music.

We have had alot of activity over the past month. Our last Happy Hour was a wonderful insight into the inner workings of Casey Jarman's role as Music Editor at the Willamette Week.

We have signed our first participating venue! The Village Building Convergence is a bit like a conference, a bit like a festival, and a bit like a neighborhood improvement day. Of course, it is uniquely unlike any of those events, but if you are familiar with any of these types of events, you can start to understand VBC. As part of this year's VBC they have agreed to participate with Fair Trade Music and compensate the musicians that perform at the evening events. Please come out, show your support for local musicians and help make our campaign a success. More information on the The Village Building Convergence can be found at http://vbc.cityrepair.org/vbc

We would like to thank everyone who came out for our last Happy Hour event featuring Entertainment Attorney Peter Vaughan Shaver. We have another planned for April featuring a member of the press to provide insight into the media and promotions world and answer questions. Stay tuned while we formalize the details. We'll be sure to let you know when everything is confirmed.
