Agenda

Doors open

Starting out as a musician is thrilling — and often overwhelming. This three-part panel follows the early stages of an artist’s path, from first songs to first shows to those crucial “what’s next?” decisions. Along the way, artists, managers, and industry pros will share personal experiences, practical advice, and strategies for building a solid foundation. Topics include finding your voice, connecting with audiences, navigating local venues, and understanding the business basics that every emerging artist should know. Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of how to set goals, build relationships, and create opportunities for sustainable growth in today’s music landscape. Moderated by Bruce Warren of WXPN.
