Back in March I profiled Sarah Saturday, Founder of Earnityourself.com and touring artist with Gardening Not Architecture. For several years she has headed up booking the Kevin Says Stage on The Warped Tour. This year she will be hosting the EIY Workshop at each stop on The Warped Tour.
Each EIY Workshop on the 2010 Warped Tour will feature a presentation by Sarah, covering topics such as cultivating a thriving local music scene, how and when to take your show on the road, building a nationwide underground network, the roles of fans in the success of bands, developing your personal philosophy in work/life, and more. The Workshops and Scene Meetups will include "roll call" for attendees to meet each other and exchange contact info for future networking within their local scene; a Q&A session with a panel of people from the tour including the founder of the Warped Tour, Kevin Lyman; and distribution of the FREE "EIY Handbook" which includes 50+ questions asked by members of the EIY community and answered not only by Sarah, but also dozens of well-known artists and individuals in the music industry, including:
