“a tenderness in each whisping breath that dances elegantly over the delicate touch of each piano key. Her voice floats and dips in a calming and ethereal sort of way. It seems effortless, but its beauty is undeniable” (Red Line Roots)

Caravan du Nord Workshops

3PM – Workshop: Marketing for Musicians, presented by Youa Vang

Learn how to put together an EPK, and how you can enhance your public relations and publicity activities to gain awareness and attention for yourself as a musician.

About the presenter: Youa Vang is a master of all trades, jack of none. After working a decade in retail management, she attended IPR (the Institute of Production and Recording) for Music Business with the intention of tour managing bands. She inadvertently got an internship at City Pages and ended up working as a freelance writer for the paper after graduating, where she has interviewed over 500 artists as a journalist — some of those famous (Jeff Bridges, Chris Thile, Aimee Mann, David Lovering, Jeff Daniels) and many of those local artists just trying to make it. Currently, she works with Minneapolis artist Chris Koza, freelance writes, and runs a cross stitch business with her sister.

4PM Workshop – Your MN Musician Toolbox – Resources and funding ideas for musicians, presented by Joanna Schnedler
