...b/c I've got a show next week. I'm promoting for a show from an unknown niche where identifying genres and such probably won't work for finding people who will want to go to this show: or even to be Facebook fans. I've decided to go the creative route with this event and just be my artistic self and see how many people would respond well to this. I'm not specifically looking to be compared to other artists, but if anyone would like to help point me in the right direction of a good audience and how to best promote this kind of music, plus people you might know that would be good to network with here's my artist page on reverbnation: reverbnation.com/marykjackson As well as the event I'm promoting for on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/326778034064726/ Any suggestions? They'd be very appreciated. I've promoted and played shows before, but this is the first one where I'm just going my own route in the image I (hopefully) want to display. "So I'm not the popular kid on the music block... :/" ...
