Arizona Music Club and 2BAW Entertainment Announce Music Seminar "How
Can I Be Down"

TARZANA, CA, May 27, 2003 – 2BAW Entertainment in association with
the Arizona Music Club (http://www.arizonamusicclub.com) announce
that their next seminar will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2003 at
the Sheraton Crescent Hotel, Phoenix, Arizona. The seminar begins at
2 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.

This year's theme is How Can I Be Down. 2BAW Entertainment Music
Industry Seminars are designed to create a forum for unsigned artists
to interact with major record label executives. Most unsigned
artists, without this type of seminar, could never hope to shop their
demo with these decision-making professionals. "Based on comments
from artists throughout the United States, we realized musicians,
artists and band members had an interest in learning about all
aspects of the music business in addition to having the opportunity
to have their demos heard by major and independent record label A&R
executives," said Marina Hall, seminar committee chair. "In response
to those suggestions, we felt that a seminar focused primarily on
getting record deals for unsigned artists was overdue," said Hall.

The panel includes prominent music business professionals. A few of
the executives scheduled to appear are: Efactor (Bungalo/Universal
Records), Travis Baird (Beverly Hills, CA Entertainment Attorney),
Bryan Farrish (Farrish Radio Promotions), Maani Edwards (Universal
Publishing), James Leach (SESAC) Sahirah Ugdah (Tonos.com). Some of
the record labels artists will have the opportunity to shop their
demo to include: Epic, Warner Chappell, Def Jam, Columbia Records,
Jive Records, Bad Boy Records, Hidden Beach, Elektra, Interscope, A&M
Records, Bungalo Records, Shady Records, Priority Records and many,
many others. A&R Executives are looking for R&B, Urban, Pop, Metal,
Hip-Hop, Rap, Rock, Gospel & Jazz , artists, songwriters, musicians,
composers and producers.

Black Dog Promotions and Arizona Music Club have committed to
sponsoring the 2BAW Entertainment Music Seminar. Black Dog Promotions
is an international music promotion and management firm that provides
radio promotion, street team development, online promotion and
management services to record labels, independent musicians and music
events internationally.

The company operates GreatMusicSites.com, Arizona Music Club.com,
MusicMarketer.com and Musiciansbookstore.com. Details on the
company's services can be found at
http://www.blackdogpromotions.com

The seminar will be held at Sheraton Crescent Hotel, 2620 W. Dunlap,
Phoenix. The registration fee of $150 includes seminar materials,
panel discussion, and an opportunity to shop your demo to A&R record
label executives. The A&R executives will have CD players to listen
to unsigned artist CDs on the spot. To register, go to
www.2bawentertainment.com, call the seminar hotline at 310-226-8441
or contact us at info@..., or (818) 708-3774.

Film Festival and DIY Music Festival.

On Thursday, June 5th, the new CLUB DIY will present an
evening of live music, a film screening, and a panel
discussion at the Derby nightclub in Hollywood, located
at 4500 Los Feliz Blvd. CLUB DIY is held on the first
Thursday of each month at the Derby and will announce a

(323-665-8068) with a credit card before June 4th will
receive a free transcript of last month's panel,
"Independent Music in Film & Television."

The Club DIY topic on June 5th will be "Music
Publishing - Your Questions Will Be Answered!" The
panel discussion will be moderated by DIY Convention
chairman Bruce Haring and will feature Jon Rosner, VP
of Bicycle Music Publishing; Kyle Staggs, director of
legal affairs for Bug Music Publishing; Bobby Borg,

often-complex world of music publishing, including
practical advice on how to get your songs to the people
that count and the various ways to make money from the
process. Filmmakers, musicians, publishers, record
labels and those interested in music supervision are
strongly urged to attend. The panel will commence at 8

party at 7 p.m.

at 9 p.m. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with
director John Aguirre, moderated by DIY Film Festival
programming head and feature film director Richard

HI there Songsalive Group members!

I am looking for some new material for my new album that I will be recording
later this year in Australia. I am particularly looking for ballad type
country songs, love songs, or Christian country songs. If you have one or
know of a good place to look for songs please let me know. I am a
singer/songwriter but would like to try some new material on at least two of
my songs. Please feel free to email your songs, or if there up on Mp3
somewhere for me to take a listen. You can go to my website to get a feel
for what style I am if you wish:  www.kelbybruno.com Thanks so much!
