Check out our YouTube page

We’ve been working hard over the last few weeks to get a bunch of videos uploaded onto our YouTube page. Recently, we have added some of the most interesting portions of our “What’s The Future For Musicians” free seminars that were held in upstate New York this past spring. Also available are some clips from our DC Policy Summits, as well as other events that we’ve held over the past few years.

These clips are a great way to learn about some of the most important issues facing musicians including net neutrality, health insurance, and the digital marketplace. We encourage you to watch, especially if you couldn’t make our most recent events (you should really try to attend; our events are awesome). read more
