It’s all about D.C. Policy Day here at FMC headquarters. We’re firing on all cylinders (and maybe a few borrowed ones) to make this year’s event the best yet. And so far it’s looking like "mission accomplished." OK, maybe it’s too early to start using that phrase again. Read on for the latest on Policy Day and more!

So much has happened since our last newsletter, we almost don’t know where to begin. How ‘bout those elections? No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you gotta admit it was all very exciting. Here in Washington D.C., we’re gearing up for the millions of people coming to town for inauguration. No, you can’t sleep in our office. Check out what we’ve been up to lately, and what’s on the horizon.

Things are heating up here at Future of Music Coalition, and it’s not because the air conditioning is broken. Planning for upcoming events, publishing new educational materials and prepping for a major CD release is thirsty work, but we’ll keep on doing it just for you.
We at Future of Music Coalition are happy its spring. For us, warmer weather means cherry blossoms, chirping birds and… road trips! We’re currently wrapping up our "What’s the Future for Musicians?" series, which informs New York State musicians on important topics at the intersection of music, technology, policy and law. After that, we’ll settle in for a busy summer promoting our Rock the Net campaign (and plenty of other stuff). Read on for details.

In addition to the issues at the intersection of music, technology, policy and law, FMC knows a little something about jet lag. The last month has seen staff attending panels, conferences and presentations near and far, exchanging ideas and opinions about the future of music. And the roadshow is set to continue through April, with our series of educational seminars for New York State musicians. Not that we’re complaining. We love getting out there and mingling with the artists that create the music we enjoy every day. Here’s a rundown of where we’ve been and where we’re heading.
