CD Baby’s DIY Musician Conference Heads To Austin In 2019

CD Baby’s DIY Musician Conference will move from Nashville, Tennessee to Austin, Texas, for 2019 to connect with a fresh community of musicians in another city with deep music ties. The three-day conference will take place Aug. 16-18 at Austin’s downtown Hilton.

The series of presentations, workshops, mentoring sessions, and jam rooms provide musicians with intensive interaction and learning, giving them the tools they need to enhance their creative lives and careers.

 “CD Baby pays close attention to what our artists need,” said CD Baby’s Kevin Breuner. “We know they are often hungry for a real plan of action, for helpful advice and encouragement, not for another panel on abstract business issues facing major labels.”

Breuner adds the conference will focus on accessible, actionable ideas for musicians at a variety of career crossroads.

Tickets for the conference are on sale now at diymusiciancon.com.
