Memphis bands could play SXSW for free
There are some real advantages for bands living in the shadow of Graceland, at least as far as the SXSW Music Festival is concerned. Memphis bands considering applying to showcase at SXSW 2009 could get a free ride on the registration fee, courtesy of the Memphis Music Foundation ambassador program.
The first 50 bands who visit the center between now and November 4 can get their registration fee waived by the Memphis Music Foundation. Bands can also express their interest in being part of an official Memphis music showcase planned for the March conference. Just visit the Memphis Music Resource Center, which is located at 431 South Main Street, Suite 201.
