Fair Trade Music DC - Event Tonight + Survey!

DMV Musicians!  You're invited to attend the next Fair Trade Music DC Round Table event, which will take place tonight, 9/8 at The Blind Dog Cafe at Darnell's in DC.

Fair Trade Music DC is a community initiative aimed at developing equitable relationships between DC area musicians and music venues.  By participating in our Round Table meetups, you'll be helping your local musical brethren - as well as yourself - to create a dialogue and advocate for fairness and transparency in the local music scene The ultimate goal of FTM DC is to establish a set of best practices around minimum performance fees, promotion and marketing, hospitality, sound/backline requirements, and more. 

The Sept. 8 Round Table will continue our musician-focused group discussions, supplementing the input we've received at past events, and moving us closer to developing these community best practices.

Please join us beginning at 6pm, Monday Sept 8, in the backroom at the Blind Dog Cafe, located at 944 Florida Ave NW, 20001. (BYO Food and Drink, cookies and Lemonade provided!)

We hope you can make it, but either way, we invite you to take our anonymous survey, so we can identify more of the common issues facing local musicians and celebrate the venues that are treating them right.

The survey is easy, and only takes a couple of minutes.  The individual results of the survey will not be made publicly available.  Visit this page http://fairtrademusicdc.org/, then:
 

1) Pick a Venue ( if the venue you played is not on the list you can add it - no need to add house shows)

2) Fill out the survey

3) Add any additional details or comments in the comment section

4) Press submit

5) Feel free to fill out the survey again for any other venues you have performed at in the past 6 months.

Thanks for your support - hope to see you there!
