Event Choice: New York Sound City, 3/11 – Music Biz Panels, Roundtables + Showcase
Music rules this coming Monday in Brooklyn, when New York Sound City (NYSC) will be running a powerful one-day event.
J. Period, Music Supervisor for the Brooklyn Nets, will be on the New York Sound City Hip Hop panel.
NYSC is being put on by Sound City, the UK-based brand that’s gotten good at holding boutique technology, music and media festivals worldwide.
The central theme of their New York Sound City 2013 conference explores the notion of British Invasion – how the relationship between New York and Liverpool, two accomplished ports and hotbeds of music and creativity have shaped popular music for generations.
Along the way, expect to get caught up on state-of-the-art info on the music biz at Williamsburg’s Wythe Hotel (12-6 PM), followed by a smokin’ six-band showcase at The Knitting Factory (starting at 7 PM).
Tickets can be purchased here, at the following prices: Delegate Pass (All access pass to panels, podcast & showcase) – $80; Knitting Factory Showcase + The Anfield Wrap Live Podcast – $30; Knitting Factory Showcase only – $20.
