The Liberty Musicfest started in 2011 based around the concept of original music showcases, educational music business panels, vendors, networking and workshops. The brain child of Music Industry Veterans Jim Thorpe & Vince Volz who have been instrumental in the music scene for years.
This year’s festival is the largest yet and has been organized by DVT Entertainment . Bringing together musicians, fans and industry professionals for one incredible weekend filled with entertaining & informative events. The festival seeks to introduce music enthusiasts to up-and-coming local, on the cusp regional and national artists as well as provide tips and tricks to attendees on industry topics such as publishing, touring, and social media. Some of this weekend’s most anticipated industry panels to catch are Booking/Touring, Building Your Brand, Producers: Creating your song, Publishing & Licensing: get your Music In A Movie, Game or Commercial, and Social Media: Navigating and Optimizing Your Presence and many one on one sessions with music industry professionals and artists.
This year, The 6th Annual Liberty Musicfest took place Aug 16th thru 20th at The Grape Room (Grape St Pub) and also Broken Goblet Brewery in Manayunk.
There were 100+ artist performances as well as industry panels to help artists take their career to new heights.
I was lucky to be asked to join in on the Marketing and Branding panel alongside Jim Thorpe and Ron Bauman - Milk Street Marketing / Connie's Ric Rac. We discussed the many ways to turn your art into a presentable package as well as answered questions from artists and bands in attendance.
I hope to do it again next year!
