This event is free, but you must be either a TAXI member or the guest of one to attend. Details at http://www.taxi.com/rally.


Here's how you can help:
  • Do you live near any of these cities? If so, I would love for you to attend!

  • If you can't attend, do you know music people in any of these areas that you can spread the word to? Send them an email, tweet about it, post it on Facebook!

  • Do you have any suggestions for people, organizations, songwriters groups, etc, that I should contact in these cities to get the word out?
I'm really looking forward to sharing these powerful ideas - many of them inspired by recent interviews I've done with Karmin, Pomplamoose, David Nevue and Mark Mohr, as well as experts like Tony van Veen, Joe Vitale, Michael Brandvold, and Jason Van Orden.

I appreciate anything you can do to help me spread the word and get more people to these live events. In particular, I would love to meet YOU in person at one of them!
