About the MOVE Music Festival
The MOVE Music Festival is an ILMG and Avid Entertainment production, presented by Miller Lite.
The festival will consist of approximately 100 bands performing at ten venues across Albany on April 21, 2012. In addition to the music showcase, MOVE will be holding a merchandise trade show and interactive round table sessions with industry professionals at the Hotel Albany lodging and convention complex in Downtown Albany - including key note speaker Nadine Gelineau, founder and president of The Musebox, the interactive round table sessions will give MOVE artists an intimate opportunity to connect with various companies that will provide vital information, creative solutions and online strategies regarding the development, management and progression of their music careers.
By discussing current digital business models, bands will get a number of diverse perspectives on how to advance their musical endeavors and discover new ways to attain sustainability, reach more fans, book shows, promote their music and market their brand.
The main purpose of this event is to give exposure to regional talent through live performances at select venues and provide musicians with insight on how to conduct their careers in today’s independent music scene.
The festival was founded by Bernie Walters, president of Indian Ledge Music Group.
