There will be a few members from the Artists on Demand crew attending.  If you plan to attend too (and who wouldn't want to be there!) please look for Brandy and Deb to say "Hi".  Artists on Demand will be blogging and doing some live interviews from the show.  Stay tuned here to find out more!

Indie Music Cares is a collaboration of music enthusiasts, musicians and industry professionals, which organize and promote a variety of fundraising events for charity.  Each year, a different non-profit charitable organization is chosen as our primary “pet project” for the year.  The selected charity is ideally (but not necessarily) a 501(c)(3), and 100% of the money raised remains in North America.  Children are our future; therefore, preference is given to charities which aid under-served children.
