The Buzz Factor (Wanted: 150 Serious Indie Musicians - A Private Invite)

Marketing tips and self-promotion
ideas for indie music people just
like you — since 1995

March 19, 2008

Lots of great info in this email. Learn how you
can access my upcoming interview with Terry
Prince (yes, the Santa Monica pier guy), attend
my music conference in June, and enroll in a
Berklee Music online course this spring.

Please take a minute right now and read on …

Indie Buzz Bootcamp - Advance Tickets
On Sale Now

As you may know, this June 20-22 I’ll present a
first-ever Indie Buzz Bootcamp music conference
in St. Louis, MO.

There is room for only 150 paid attendees. I
expect the event to sell out long before June.
We have a great lineup of top-notch speakers,
including Derek Sivers, Ariel Hyatt, Nancy Moran,
John Taglieri, and yours truly.

Tickets won’t go on sale to the general public
until April 1. However, since you’re a Buzz
Factor subscriber, between now and March 31
you can go to a special page and enroll at a
great early-bird discount.

First of all, to see the latest details on
speakers and schedules for this incredible
event, please visit the public page at
www.IndieBuzzBootcamp.com

Then, to reserve your seat in advance at the
early discount rate, visit this secret page.

Please don’t share this link with anyone else.
It’s meant for people like you who are on my
mailing list.

Remember, there’s room for only 150 paid
attendees. And after March 31, if there are
any seats left, the price will go up.

So visit these two pages and secure your seat
today — before they are made available to a
wider audience:

www.IndieBuzzBootcamp.com
www.bob-baker.com/buzz/indie-buzz-register.html

Last week I announced that Natalie Gelman, an
NYC-based indie singer-songwriter, was a winner
of the online drawing for a complimentary
admission.

The second and final winner is Terri England,
a guitarist from the Corpus Christi, Texas,
area who plays “cool Brazilian jazz.” She’ll
be bringing Sharon Rogers as her guest. Visit
Terri’s site at www.terriengland.com.

Congratulations to Natalie and Terri for being
the winners that they are.

I hope to see YOU in June at the Indie Buzz
Bootcamp too!

Terry Prince Teleclass March 31

Remember the inspiring musician I interviewed
on the Santa Monica pier last fall? The guy who
sold 15,000 CDs in 18 months street performing?
The video has been viewed more than 3,600 times
on YouTube.

If you missed it, you can watch it now at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUfXB5uY9KA

Well, Terry will be my guest on a one-hour
conference call the evening of Monday, March 31.
Callers will not only get a big dose of his
uplifting and empowering philosophy, but they’ll
also be able to ask Terry questions directly.
“Exactly how DID you sell that many CDs working
only seven and a half hours a WEEK?”

This call won’t be a freebie. There are two ways
to access the live call and an MP3 audio
recording of it soon after.

One way is to join my Music Marketing Insiders
Club. As a member, you’ll get access to the
Terry Prince teleclass AND more than a dozen
interviews I’ve conducted over the past 14
months, plus future calls as long as you’re
a member.

Details at www.MusicMarketingInsiders.com

Otherwise, non-members can gain access to the
call and MP3 download for $14.95. Let me know
if you’re interested in this one-time access
option and I’ll send you a link to make your
payment.

However, I guarantee the Insiders Club
membership is a far better bargain.

Berklee Music’s Spring Term Starts April 7

Becoming part of Berklee Music’s online faculty
has been an amazing experience. I never knew
there were so many students around the country
and across the globe who take college-level,
accredited courses online — on a schedule that
fits their lifestyle.

The course I developed and facilitate is called
“Music Marketing 101,” and I encourage you to
consider it. But don’t overlook the dozens of
other online courses covering Production,
Songwriting, Guitar, Bass, Arranging, Theory,
Harmony & Ear Training, and of course, Music
Business.

For details visit this page.

Thanks for reading. Until next time … share
your talents, connect with fans, get out there
and promote yourself!

-Bob

FCC Closes 700MHz Auction at $19.5B - Google’s Bid Looses Out

FCC Closes 700MHz Auction at $19.5B

The winners of the coveted 700MHz spectrum are waiting in the wings.

Bidding in the FCC’s 700MHz auction closed March 18 after the auction raised a record $19.6 billion over 261 bidding rounds. The winners of the spectrum have not been disclosed as yet by the Federal Communications Commission.

The results of this single spectrum auction surpass the $19.1 billion combined total raised by the FCC in 68 other auctions over the last 15 years. The proceeds will be transferred to the U.S. Treasury by June 30, earmarked to support public safety and digital television transition initiatives.

The spectrum auction is part of the transition to digital television that will culminate in all television signals switching from analog to digital on Feb. 17, 2009.

Bidding for the so-called beachfront spectrum in the C block closed at $6.5 billion, almost $2 billion more than the minimum threshold bid of $4.6 billion. The airwaves are considered particularly well-suited for broadband because the signal properties can travel great distances and penetrate mountains, buildings and walls.

The FCC also placed conditions on the sale of the C block spectrum, requiring the winning bidder to build an open network to which users can connect any legal device and run the software of their choice.

The spectrum auction process is disputed. Read more here.

Before the auction began in January, Google committed to meeting the minimum bid in the C block. AT&T and Verizon were also interested in the spectrum. Although the FCC did not say when the winner would be announced, the current speculation is that the FCC will release the information by the end of March or early April.

“The open platform will help foster innovation on the edge of the network, while creating more choices and greater freedom for consumers to use the wireless devices and applications of their choice,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said in a statement. “A network more open to devices and applications can help ensure that the fruits of innovation on the edges of the network swiftly pass into the hands of consumers.”

FCC Closes 700MHz Auction at $19.5B - One Disappointment

The only disappointment in the auction, Martin said, was the failure of a bidder to meet the $1.3 billion reserve price established for an interoperable public safety network to be operated by a public-private partnership.

“I believe the Commission remains committed to ensuring that we work to solve public safety’s interoperability challenges,” Martin said in a statement. “Because the reserve price for the D Block was not met in the 700MHz auction, the FCC is now evaluating its options for this spectrum.”

Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, immediately announced that he would hold a hearing to review the auction process after the winning bidders are announced.

Markey said in a statement he was “eager to ascertain the extent to which new entrants have succeeded in obtaining licenses through this auction. Providing new opportunities for competitive entry into the wireless marketplace and offering consumers greater choice is a key objective of wireless policy and for this auction in particular.”

Gigi B. Sohn, president and co-founder of longtime FCC watchdog group Public Knowledge, said in a statement the auction produced “some good results” for consumers.

“While the open access provisions weren’t all that we would have liked, consumers will have the benefit of some device and applications flexibility that they wouldn’t have had otherwise,” Sohn said.

Ashley Alexandra Dupré Gets the Big Boys to Listen -700,000 Downloads and Counting

Long gone are the days of wearing a scarlet letter. Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the high-priced prostitute in the scandal surrounding former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, was an aspiring singer when she moved to New York City. five years ago and turned to prostitution to pay the bills. Now she may get her big musical break.

See photos of the call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupré , also known as “Kristen,” who is at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. She’s only 22 years old.

Billboard reports that top talent scouts are looking at the 22-year-old hooker and weighing her chances of success. Once Dupré’s name surfaced in the media last week, her MySpace page racked up more than 4.6 million page views and her song attached to that page hit 711,334 plays. In addition, Dupré released two original tracks on the priced-by-demand Web site, AmieStreet.com, which received thousands of listens. When she posted the songs, they were free. Hours later, they cost 98 cents.

Find out the top 10 music videos that broke the rules. No. 1 was condemned by Christian organizations when it debuted. Can you guess the artist?

“Billboard sought out several major music execs to find out about Dupré’s prospects. This is what they said:

“. . . When you attract 700,000 downloads. You are during better than some of the American Idol Stars. Whatever, Ms. Dupre, did or did not do, she has proven that she can sell records. My below colleagues and co position holders, realize that their positions are only temporary and their opinions are seasonal. They do not control the music buying public. They can only anticipate what the public is searching for and not with great success. If Paris Hilton can get a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records — and everyone knows she can’t sing her way out of a paper bag. The record business is all about exposure. Ms. Dupre has acheived much. The old saying still applies, it’s not what they say about you, but that they spell your name correctly.” — Kenny Smith, President, D-Town Records

–”I think her song is absolutely terrible. If people are interested in signing her, then they shouldn’t be in the music business. It’d be a shame to exploit her talent based on the unacceptable reality that she was involved in.”
–Chris Anokute, Capitol Records Senior A&R Director

–”The funny thing about this is that I read the story this morning, about (Dupré) wanting to be a singer, and I thought to myself that I really wanted to reach out to her. I’d be interested in what the music sounds like.
–Brian Bergen, Atlantic Records A&R Manager

–”…people do say any publicity is good publicity and her recent headlines would help get her some exposure. She has a platform; its just a matter of spinning off negative and making it positive. …If the music is good, it’s enough for me to keep my ears open and follow the story. Who knows, maybe a year from now she’ll be in a completely different place.” –Conrad Dimanche, A&R consultant for Bad Boy Records

Bernadette Bascom - Revisited - 2008

What do you say about one of the greatest singers in the world? Not much. As a DJ in Baltimore, Maryland, Bernadette’s career started in reverse. From the radio to the stage with Stevie Wonder. As a member and leader of the hot 1980’s group Epicenter. Bernadette continued to dazzle the crowds worldwide. A credit to the City of Seattle, she recorded Seattle Sunshine that was adopted by the City council as the official song. You can get a “taste” of Bernadette at http://www.soundclick.com/bernadettebascom.

Bernadette Bascom rocked Las Vegas, where she had her own stage show with forty dancers and a 26 piece band for over three years. Still in great demand, we honor our first lady of D-Town Records that now has returned to the Pacific Northwest in great style. You can get more personal and corrected information from http://www.bernadettebascom.com.

2. Introduction

Welcome to the February Indie Contact Newsletter.

I’m honored to announce that I’ll be participating in a
tele-seminar with renowned author Jeri Goldstein on
Monday, March 3rd at 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

Jeri is a booking/live performance guru and author of
the industry classic “How to be Your Own Booking Agent.”

For anyone that plays live, this is a golden opportunity
to tap into Jeri’s wealth of knowledge about touring
and playing live. After you sign up, feel free to mail
in your question, and hopefully we’ll be able to get to
it.

There is no cost, and lines are limited, so sign up as
soon as you can.
http://performingbiz.com/DWTSform.html

Once you sign up, you’ll be taken to the page with all
of the event details.

This month’s newsletter article was written by Jeri
and focuses on the various factors to consider when
determining which venues you should be playing at.

Also, many of you have contacted me and asked
about updates for The Indie Venue Bible.

Since it’s not a yearly directory (it’s continually being
updated) what I have decided to do is offer updates
at no charge for one full year. In other words, if you
purchase a copy now and decide next August to plan
a summer tour, you can contact me and I’ll send you
the latest version.

Remember, If you have a service that can help out artists
or songwriters and would like to be listed in this newsletter,
please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Just e-mail me your
details. indiecontactnewsletter@rogers.com

As is the case every month, there is a large group of new
contacts that can help you to gain more exposure for your
music. So dig in and enjoy the February edition of the
Indie Contact Newsletter!
