Attention all unsigned artists! The Florida Chapter of the Recording Academy has a call out for entries for their 2010 Florida Grammy Showcase. From their site:
“Six finalists will win the opportunity to perform live on a special opening night of the FMF2010 in front of an audience of music industry community at The Social in downtown Orlando. Florida Grammy Showcase finalists will compete for artist development prize packages worth more than $25,000.”
Last year’s winner, ArtOfficial, copped a ton of swag like gift certificates for gear, custom banners, production software, a consultation with William Morris, studio time at the Hit Factory and more.

As most of you know by now, Sweat Records is a proud recipient of a 2009 Knight Arts Challenge grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Had we ever applied for a grant before? Nope. Not once. Ever.
Still, that didn’t stop us from winning a ton of funding that will help Sweat continue for years to come! So pay attention everyone, because application time is coming around again and it starts this Friday.
The Knight Arts grant is amazing because they really do start with an even playing field. They are just as happy to fund an indie or solo project as they are to give money to some of Miami’s largest arts organizations. If you have a great idea that will bring more art, entertainment, education, music, etc. to South Florida, by all means get writing.
The deadline is March 15th – no slacking!

Calling all bands, artists, singers and music-makers:
There’s a new music-oriented festival coming to town, creatively named the Miami Music Festival.
They’re currently taking applications so if you’ve got $35 you can submit your act to perform at their post-Basel weekend of music events. From their site:
To perform at the Miami Music Festival, artists must complete the online application and submit a $35 fee to be considered for showcase participation. Broadjam.com is the official application submission partner and a sponsor of The Miami Music Festival. Those who apply automatically receive a free 6 month membership to Broadjam.
Festival venues offer some sound equipment, however, artists are encouraged to bring their own equipment. Once selected to perform, venue information will be made available to artists.
All performance applications must be received no later than October 15, 2009. All artists selected to perform will be notified by November 1, 2009. If artists applying to perform are not selected, the Festival will issue a $35 credit toward one conference badge or one three-day wristband.
Good luck everyone!

For all you bands that are looking to press records in the near future (which you should), United Record Pressing is making it easy for you. Enter your info in their handy-dandy new Vinyl Pressing Quote Generator and figure out exactly how much it’ll cost you per piece.
And yeah, go for the colored vinyl. It’s so worth it!
