Creative Soul And IndieHeaven.com Team Up For Performance & A&R Workshop In Nashville

NASHVILLE (Creative Soul) Nashville-based production house Creative Soul and independent artist resource provider IndieHeaven.com have partnered to present a special event designed to educate and assist independent Christian artists. The Performance & A&R Workshop will be held on Thursday, February 10th, 2005 at Building 8 in the Factory of Franklin in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tennessee.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from record labels, publicists, booking agents, distributors, and other music professionals. Industry leaders confirmed for this event include Creative Trust Workshop A&R Director John Mays, performance coach Tom Jackson, IndieHeaven founder Keith Mohr, producer Eric Copeland of Creative Soul, Nashville Publicity Group president Brian Mayes and more.

There are additional performance opportunities for five artists or groups. For an additional fee, each artist will have the opportunity to perform for John Mays, and receive feedback and suggestions to strengthen each presentation. Mays has been instrumental in launching the careers of such artists as Nichole Nordeman, Newsboys and Point of Grace. Each artist will also perform a short set for performance coach Tom Jackson (Jars of Clay, Selah, Salvador, Point of Grace), who will evaluate and redesign their stage performance in a private session.

The registration fee for this one day seminar is only $25 (in advance), or $35 on the day of the event. Additional fees apply for individual sessions with John Mays and Tom Jackson, and space is extremely limited.
