About Me

A non profit organization raising money for cancer research and awareness through the involvement of Indie artists and comedians performing at benefit concerts and through compilation CDs from songs and comedy acts each year donated by individual artists. Indie Music for Life is currently working educational awareness programs for music and laughter as therapy to cancer patients. Indie Music for Life needs and accepts donations which are tax deductible. We are looking for corporate sponsors and other organizations to partner with us in reaching these goals.
We are also looking for people to get involved by organizing benefit concerts in your area. On this space we will play different artist songs that have helped us out with benefits in the past or for upcoming benefits and artists that have donated songs to our compilation CD as we find them on My Space and can add their song to our profile. As our comedy project progresses we will feature some of those scripts also. Check back often for updates. But get involved now either by spreading the word, helping organize a benefit, making a tax deductible donation or becoming a sponsor. Media and press outlets may contact Vicki Blankenship at [email protected].
Our entity Indiegrrl is producing the First Annual 2008 Indiegrrl Women in the Arts Conference in August, 2008. Please plan on attending and networking with many industry professionals during the trade show exhibit hall, workshops, panel discussions, and the banquet dinner and social gathering. Keynote speakers for the banquet are influential industry celebrities Bonnie Bramlett and Molly Neuman. It will be an exciting event. So plan on attending the conference to brush up on your entreprenurial skills and to watch the live performance showcases featuring members of the Indiegrrl Women in the Arts organization, Songsalive, Females on Fire, and Rockin Moms. Conference passes are $100 and both females and males can attend. A general public day pass ticket will be sold at the doors for $10 and allows you access into the exhibit hall trade show and both live performance stage areas.
