THE ARTIST LAB

Your music career has a business side. Let’s talk about it. If you make music in the Hudson Valley, you probably know the feeling: you're writing, recording, releasing, and somewhere along the way you're also expected to figure out distribution, marketing, rights, playlists, budgets, and "building a team." Nobody explained any of it when you started. We think being independent shouldn't mean being alone. That's why we're starting two new Tuesday-night programs at Full Circle, built for Hudson Valley musicians and music creators of every genre and every stage. THE ARTIST LAB One topic. Go deep. Apply it to your project. Each Artist Lab zooms in on one specific topic we keep hearing about at After Hours, like distribution, DSPs, marketing, audience building, release strategy, or putting together your team. Instead of a lecture, we work through it with a real artist, project, or situation, so you leave with something you can actually use. Some Labs will include guests from different corners of the industry. When: Every 3rd Tuesday of the week | 6 – 7 PM | First Lab: Nov 17 Where: The Trailside Lounge at Full Circle | 297 Bruynswick Rd.
