I love my Katie....

About Me

Segment of Society Promotions is a grass roots booking and promotion service, created by Robin Coleman in September of 2004. A labor of love, SOS brings independent singer/songwriters mainly from the genres of: folk, folk-rock, americana, acoustic & bluegrass to the community. Don’t be surprised if you see some rock, jazz or poetry thrown in there too. Working with at least six different venues in Indianapolis, you’ll find diverse and eclectic settings welcoming to the musician and music lover. Having built a reputation heralded by local and touring musicians, Segment of Society Promotions purpose is to bring quality talent to the area in an intimate setting, celebrating the joy of music, diversity and community. All for the love of the music.Do you dig what Robin, (who IS Segment of Society) is doing for the music scene ? Help offset some of her costs by making a donation today !
Below are a few details about what I do and the venues that I currently work with. Once we make contact and begin discussing a possible gig, I'll provide more details.
What I do for YOU is :
4 Secure the venue
4 Make flyers (or you can mail some to me) and post about town
4 Promote show via my website, and other websites and e-mails
4 Sell your merch during the show
4 Provide a PA if needed
4 Take photos and post them on my website & can e-mail to you if you like
4 I also have the ability to record your show if you like.
4 A comfy couch to crash on (or floor)

Here is a little video of Anne Heaton and Rose Polenzani...it’s just so beautiful !About my Top Friends:You'll find artists with a myspace page in the order of their appearance date. It should pretty much jive with the Segment of Society event calendar.Exceptions are: * Melissa Ferrick will always be first, she is my inspiration plain and simple. Check her out if you have never heard her music or seen her live. *Some will be artists I plan on seeing live and not actually booking them (although I may have at one time) *Others may be artists that I'm in the process of finalizing a future gig date with. *And still some may be folks I admire, love and really care about
I've had the pleasure of booking singer/songwriter, Katie Reider, a few times and she is such a sweetheart and all around good person. And a great musician as well. Katie passed away on Monday July 14th after a long battle with a rare tumor, which started in her sinus cavity. Over the past two years of her battle, she has lost much weight, her sight in her left eye, most of her pallet, her teeth on the left side, much of her cheek and jaw bone, not to mention her beautiful voice and her abiliity to perform. Her passing has shattered my heart....and I'm having a tough time as I'm sure many are. I encourge you to visit www.500kin365.org to learn more about Katie, her music and her story. Katie, I love you sweetie.This clip is from Katie's show I booked February 23, 2007 at Radio Radio in Indianapolis: Hear Her Story at www.500Kin365.org
Please, please visit www.500kin365.org and learn more about Katie's story and get to know her music. We love you Katie !!!

Robin, that's me-segment of society ..
Myspace Graphics Yes, this is MY obsession ! Melissa Ferrick tearing it up !
Influences: Don't laugh, but my first album was Donny Osmond's "Puppy Love"....I was 11 or something like that and just too excited. However my first ever concert was Bobby Goldsboro at the Indiana State Fair when I was about 4. I'm told that my parents placed me up on stage next to Bobby. I have very vague memories of this. But I suppose that's when it all started.So to that add: Current influences: Melissa Ferrick, The Indigo Girls, Sarah Harmer, Trina Hamlin, Pamela Means, Ember Swift & Lyndell Montgomery, Ellis, Wishing Chair, Kara Barnard, Kara Kulpa, Kindred, Beth Orton, Kaki King, (any girl with a guitar will do)..... Jeremiah Birnbaum, Dave Golden, Teddy Goldstein, Jennie DeVoe....the list is really endless.Past influences: Suzanne Vega, Melissa Etheridge, Pat Benatar, Billy Joel, The Osmonds, Manhattan Transfer, Linda Rondstadt, Fleetwood Mac,Forced (haha) upon influences: The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, country music history stories told to me by my mother
