Hey everyone!
Well, it's gonna happen! We will be putting on our first annual MeltingPot Music Festival. This will also be the launch of the Magazine's first print issue, and our 1year anniversary!
BUT...here's the thing. I need some help in locating a venue we can do this at. It needs to be able to hold a large number of people, good acoustics, for all ages, and decently priced would be nice. I need it to be in the Birmingham area and open to do a 7-10 hour festival.
If you have any info or can help out with this in any way please let me know ASAP through myspace, [email protected], or call at 256-653-7535 (ask for Carrie when you call).
Any bands interested in playing the show, drop me a line with pricing and any questions you might have.
Help spread the word about this! We are here to help YOU.
YOU=local bands and artists
MeltingPot Magazine came about when Carrie Waterall went to a battle of the bands in Birmingham, AL. While she was there she thought,"What if there was a way to promote these awesome bands?" So, she called up her best friend Sherri Creswell. Now, Carrie was always calling up Sherri with her crazy but good ideas, but something just clicked when Carrie mentioned a magazine for local artists and musicians. Both being Multimedia Artists and both with a love for local music, they figured that a magazine could really work. Thus,MeltingPot Magazine.
MeltingPot Magazine hopes that the Zine will help all the awesome artists and musicians in North,Central,and Northeast Alabama get their stuff out there. With the Zine maybe people can see that Alabama is not just the redneck state,and hopefully labels and scouts will start noticing.
