This is the time forDavid vs Goliath Music Festival & Series. We are here!Many a music festival initially started out as festivals to supportIndie Music but eventually grew too big & became the average corporate machines, charging exuberant amounts for submission fees and ignoring indie bands without that budget to hire a fancy radio promoter or publicity firm.Our approach is very simple, it is one of nurture and support!In addition to being a festival in NYC (Feb. 9th.-19th. & mid Sptember. 2011) we are conducting an ongoing music series effective immediately with a handful of clubs/event spaces in NYC. We've also teamed up with a few online communities/platform that offer marketing tools for indie bands, a major music placement & licensing firm and more strategic partnerships to be announced.
