Posted on

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 4 pm CST, Thursday, July 5, 2012

Manitoba Music’s Aboriginal Music Program is producing a printed contact directory to market Aboriginal artists from Manitoba to talent buyers and industry stakeholders this year. The Manitoba Aboriginal Artist Guidebook will include a directory of artists making music in a wide range of genres (rock, country, fiddle, hip hop, pop, pow wow, etc.). It will feature artist profiles, contact information for bookings, and a list of new or recent releases.

The directory will be distributed widely through various music conferences and award shows, as well as directly to key players in the Aboriginal community, as well as managers, labels, agents, festivals, radio programmers, publicists, music journalists, and many others who can help your career.
