It figures. We just published the Guide's most recent FULL EDITION yesterday, with eleven feature stories. But word hadn't yet arrived of this. (You can still get our entire Guide to getting your ho-ho-ho ready to go with "THE FULL PICTURE OF RECENT EDITIONS" including all their lil' 'ol url's, at the end of this one-item news post.)

Meantime, plenty of our artist readers will want to take part in this.

TUESDAY'S FREE WEBINAR...

On Tuesday, Dec 20th, at 1 pm Pacific (4 pm ET), DISCMAKERS is offering a live online event with music industry consultant BOBBY BORG. The purpose? Borg is sharing his predictions for the music industry in 2017 and beyond. The only complication? it seems you need to have a Twitter account. If you do, you are invited to "Come prepared with your questions."

This is the 16th offering and the latest in the series presented by the longtime vinyl record / now biggest CD presser. In cyberspeak, it's their "#DMchat16."

BOBBY BORG is best known as a music industry consultant, author and musician. He is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music with a BA in Professional Music and he is an educator at the Musician’s Institute and with UCLA Extension. Bobby is the author of Billboard Books’ bestseller "The Musician’s Handbook" and Hal Leonard's "Music Marketing For The DIY Musician. "

Learn more about him at www.bobbyborg.com.

What should artists expect to see in 2017 and beyond? Bobby took a focused look at what lies ahead for the future of the music industry in a two-part blog series. You can read it at:

(Concise articles. Ridiculously long url, but you seem to need all of it to get there.)

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS — and views of interest to artists everywhere — more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
