On Oct 4th I participate in the BORN AFTER VINYL event at NETTWORK’s edgehill building. This is from BORNAFTERVINLY.com..
Last night was the first Born After Vinyl event and thank you to everyone that came out to support us and Eric! Thanks to the artists (Lanae’ Hale, David Condos, Amy Stroup, Andrew Osenga and Kyle Andrews. You are all so talented and it was a blessing to see you.
We had a great mention in the Nashville Scene as a critic’s pick. Check it out below….
BORN AFTER VINYL
Today’s unsigned artists face a unique predicament: greater access to the means of producing and distributing music, but an increasingly saturated market that threatens to overshadow even the staunchest self-promotion. Forming collectives among like-minded artists is an obvious remedy—Movement Nashville, anyone?—and the Born After Vinyl series of events takes this grassroots tactic a step further. Named after a digital compilation put out by Rocketown Records, the meetings encourage networking and talking shop about the current state of the industry. And if you’re looking for a little less moral apathy along the way, the gatherings also add social consciousness to the bill—no surprise from a label with a Christian bent. The first event features performances by locals such as Kyle Andrews and David Condos, but also doubles as a benefit for Eric Volz, a former Nashvillian currently imprisoned in Nicaragua. Volz’ mother Maggie Anthony will be on hand to speak, and all proceeds go to her son’s legal defense fund. 7 p.m. at The SYNC @ Nettwerk (1201 Villa Place, Ste. 206) —TRACY MOORE
