Conference Me In: SXSW 2010 and Kids Music

When I mentioned a while back that South By Southwest would feature another kids music panel, I omitted one small detail:

I'm going to participate on the panel.

That's right -- "Jumping into the Kiddie Pool: Diving for Dollars" will feature me along with four other folks talking about this little (but growing) slice of the music industry. Considering the other folks on the panel -- Tor Hyams, Karen Rappaport McHugh, Daniel Brindley (who runs Jammin' Java and manages Rocknoceros), and Marty Diamond (who books a lot of kids shows, including the Sippy Cups) -- I'll excited just to be a part of it.

While I wouldn't expect somebody to register for the conference just for that one panel, if you're around -- even if you're an artist who thinks they'd never record music for kids -- on Friday, March 18 at 2 PM, stop by. It'll be lots of fun, and I'm pretty sure you'll learn something.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to be spending the next five weeks catching up on my sleep. I gather from Bill, who spoke on a similar panel last year, that I may not sleep that much that weekend.

If I can get my hands on a badge, I will stop by. I might have to play a few songs that monday for the people that will be in town!

This is a terrific followup to the Children's Music Breakfast that happened before the GRAMMY Awards and the Children's Music education & networking event hosted by the LA Chapter of the GRAMMY's. It's wonderful to see more and more opportunities to build community, network and further kids music of all kinds.
